| Assignee: | Pregis (Chicago, IL) with total patents of: 12 (since 2005) |
| Counsel: | Firm: Fox Rothschild LLP |
| 1st Invent: | Thomas D. Wetsch (Naples, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A roll dispenser is arranged to support a roll of packaging material, and includes a chuck assembly with a first chuck unit that includes a first plug received in a first axial end of a core of the roll, a first shaft fixed to the first plug, a first mount brought into engagement with the first shaft, and a first brake connected to the first plug and the first mount to establish friction between the first plug and the first mount. A first handle assembly may adjust a first compressive force applied axially between the first mount and the first shaft to regulate the friction between the first plug and the first mount. The chuck assembly also may include a second chuck unit received in a second axial end of the core for additionally supporting the roll of packaging material. |

| Assignee: | Biomet 3i (Palm Beach Gardens, FL) with total patents of: 151 (since 2005) |
| Counsel: | Firm: Sheridan Ross P.C. |
| 1st Invent: | Stephen M. Herrington (Naples, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A method of manufacturing a permanent prosthesis for attachment to a dental implant installed in a mouth of a patient includes scanning a patient specific temporary prosthesis (PSTP) to obtain scan data. The PSTP is attached to the dental implant in the mouth of the patient. Gingival tissue surrounding the PSTP is permitted to heal in the mouth of the patient. In response to aesthetics of the healed gingival tissue surrounding the PSTP in the mouth of the patient not being acceptable, the PSTP is physically modified by (i) removing material from the PSTP, (ii) adding material to the PSTP, or (iii) both. The modified PSTP is scanned and a permanent prosthesis is fabricated as a replica of the modified PSTP using scan data generated from the scan of the modified PSTP. |
