A multistory building construction system comprising at least one base plate comprising a centrally disposed sleeve extending vertically from a top surface thereof and configured to engage an interior portion of a bottom end of at least one first-floor column comprising a cap plate disposed on a top end thereof with a centrally disposed sleeve extending vertically therefrom configured to engage an exterior portion of a bottom end of at least one upper-floor column and configured to support a decking for a concrete floor and configured so that a top end of the sleeve may be used as a benchmark for pouring the concrete floor, the first-floor column and the upper-floor column further comprising at least one sheer tab for attachment of beams for support of the decking.

The multi-tool wrench is a single tool that provides multiple tools useful by a craftsman. The multi-tool wrench comprises a first tool half and a second tool half that are removably coupled by a quick disconnect. The halves may be decoupled for use in confined spaces or to simultaneously use tools from each half. The first tool half provides an adjustable wrench and two pivoting hex keys. The adjustable wrench has a reversible lower jaw to convert the wrench into a pipe wrench. The second tool half provides a set of three open end wrenches, a pivoting flat blade screwdriver, and a pivoting cross head screwdriver. The open end wrenches and hex keys may be sized to provide common tools needed in a specific occupation or field. As a non-limiting example, the tools may be common sizes used by a welder.

A suture anchor includes two clamping surfaces that secure one or more suture strands between them. Cooperating engaging structures, such as recesses and a projection enable the clamping surfaces to be incrementally moved closer together such that the force applied between the clamping surfaces is increased in predetermined increments to secure the suture strands. If the applied force is too high, the clamping surfaces can be released from a fixed position, and the force applied by the clamping surfaces can again be incrementally increased to the desired clamping force. A guide is provided to mark the location of the hole that has been drilled in the bone. A suture anchor delivery tool is provided to insert and secure the suture anchor in the hole in the bone. The suture anchor delivery tool enables the surgeon to move the clamping surfaces of the suture anchor towards each other.

A medication delivery system that includes a housing and a reservoir fitted to the housing for storing the medication. A pump for delivering the medication is attached to the housing. Valves regulate fluid flow into and out of the pump. The valves are configured so that when fluid flows into the pump, flow out of the pump is blocked and, when flow into the pump is blocked, fluid can flow out of the pump. A port in communication with the reservoir serves as the conduit through which sterilization fluid is introduced into the reservoir and the pump. An actuator is attached to the housing. The actuator engages the valves to simultaneously hold both valves open. Thus, during sterilization, sterilization fluid simultaneously flows through into and out of the pump.

A medication delivery system delivers medication to a patient. The system includes a base and a reservoir disposed about the base for storing the medication. A pump for delivering the medication to the patient is supported by the base. The pump includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet. A first pinch lever is disposed near the inlet and a second pinch lever is disposed near the outlet. Each of the pinch levers move between an open and closed position to control a flow of the medication into the housing. A motor operatively engages the pinch levers to move the pinch levers such that the medication can be delivered to the patient. A biasing device engages at least one of the pinch levers and works in conjunction with the motor to normally bias the at least one pinch lever into the closed position during delivery of the medication to the patient and to maintain the at least one pinch lever in the closed position during a failure of the motor to prevent the inadvertent delivery of the medication to the patient.

An air filtration system and a helmet for use in the air filtration system are disclosed and utilized to filter air between a head and body of a user and an external environment. The air filtration system and helmet include inner and outer shells that define an air flow channel for channeling air about the user. A fan module is mounted between the inner and outer shells and a scroll housing is mounted adjacent the fan module. The scroll housing includes an air inlet for drawing air into the air filtration system and helmet, and at least one air outlet to distribute air flow to the air flow channel. The helmet includes air exits at front and rear sections that are in fluid communication with the air flow channel and the air outlet or outlets. The air filtration system includes a gown operating as a filter for filtering the air.

A medication delivery system delivers medication to a patient and is suitable for sterilization by a sterilization fluid. The system includes a base and a reservoir disposed about the base for storing the medication. A pump for delivering the medication to the patient is supported by the base. A port extends from the base. The port enables fluids to flow into, within, and from the medication delivery system. The Port comprises an elongated housing having a Proximate end and a distal end with a fluid chamber defined therebetween. A plurality of fluid connectors extend from the elongated housing. A plunger is disposed in the fluid chamber and defines an internal fluid bore therethrough with the internal fluid bore being in selective fluid communication with the fluid connectors as the plunger moves between an off-position, a fill-position for filling the reservoir, and a fluid delivery-position for delivering the fluid to the patient.

A medication delivery system delivers medication to a patient and is suitable for sterilization by a sterilization fluid. The system includes a base and a reservoir disposed about the base for storing the medication. A pump for delivering the medication to the patient is supported by the base. The pump includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet. The inlet and outlet alternate between an open and a closed state to deliver the medication. A port extends from the base. The port fluidly communicates with the reservoir and the pump during sterilization to provide access for the fluid to flow into the reservoir and the pump. An actuator is disposed in the base. The actuator operatively engages the inlet and outlet to retain them in the open state during sterilization. As such, the fluid can penetrate into the reservoir, the inlet, the housing, and the outlet to sterilize the system.
