  • Publication number: 20210161624
    Abstract: Dental prosthesis comprising a dental implant comprising an external thread for screwing the dental implant into a jawbone and an internal thread arranged inside the dental implant. The dental prosthesis further comprises a superstructure having an internal bore and a screw for fastening the superstructure to the dental implant. The screw has a screw head with a cylindrical or conical lateral surface and a shank which adjoins a lower end of the screw head and on which an external thread is arranged. In an assembled state of the dental prosthesis, the screw is inserted through the internal bore of the superstructure into the dental implant and the external thread of the screw engages the internal thread of the dental implant. The screw head comprises a convexly rounded chin between the cylindrical or conical lateral surface and its lower end, with which chin the screw abuts the superstructure in the internal bore in the assembled state of the dental prosthesis.

  • Patent number: 11002150
    Abstract: Shroud assembly of an axial turbomachine (2) having a rotor (12), such as a turbomachine compressor air-intake shroud (28). The assembly comprises an annular layer (32) of abradable material that is able to cooperate by abrasion with lips (44) of the turbomachine in order to ensure tightness, and a heating module (38) for the abradable layer (32). The module (38) comprises electrical heating resistors (42) within the abradable material in order to prevent the presence of ice on the shroud (28). The abradable material is thus used as a heating body which receives, transports and distributes the heat used for de-icing.
