  • Patent number: 11576756
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for extracting a broken fragment of a dental abutment screw from a dental implant. One such system includes an extractor tool having a tubular outer body and a conductor positioned within the tubular outer body, and an applicator that receives and end of the extractor tool and also includes a heating element that converts electrical energy into heat that is conducted to the extractor tool to melt a thermoplastic adhesive in a cavity at the distal end of the extractor tool, such that the melted thermoplastic adhesive can conform to and engage with a broken fragment of a dental abutment screw within a dental implant when the adhesive cools. The extractor tool can then be rotated to unscrew the broken fragment from the dental implant.

  • Patent number: 11493036
    Abstract: A variable displacement vane pump is described. The pump includes a control chamber provided between a housing and a control slide. A pressure-controlled relief valve is in fluid communication with the outlet path and moves to block or unblock a relief port based on output pressure of the lubricant. A feedback channel fluidly connects the control chamber to an inlet path of the pump. The feedback channel further connects to a control port that is connected to a main control valve. The relief valve and control valve are distinct and not fluidly connected. The relief valve moves once the pressure in the outlet path exceeds a predetermined amount, opening the relief port, and thus delivers a portion of the output lubricant to the control chamber via the relief port, thereby pressurizing the control chamber and reducing eccentricity of the pump by displacing the control slide.

  • Publication number: 20200033628
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to an eyewear device that is capable of being rolled-up and snapped onto a user's face. The eyewear includes an elongated body comprising a spring portion and a lens portion. The elongated body has at least three states: a straighten state, a coiled state and a partially coiled state. The eyewear is a layered film that is configured to roll into a cylindrical shape. The lens portion of the eyewear is then retained over the eyes of the user in response to the eyewear being attached to the sides of the user. In this regard, the eyewear includes one or more springs that coil immediately when struck against an object. When worn, the natural function of the spring allows the eyewear to be retained at the user's temples. Removing the eyewear allows the film to roll back to its coiled form.
