  • Patent number: 10296665
    Abstract: A method and system for managing drawings in a construction project software program may include uploading drawings for a project in sets of drawings, collating the sets, determining if a drawing in a later set corresponds with a drawing in an earlier set, and creating and displaying a list of the uploaded drawings. The list includes a number of fields for each of the drawings in the list. The fields include a name for each drawing, a Sheet Number, and an issue date. If a drawing in a later set corresponds with a drawing in an earlier set, the list includes an indication that clearly shows such a correspondence and shows which set should be used for the latest version of such corresponding drawings.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20030116960
    Abstract: A connector for releasably retaining tubing includes a coupler bore with a O-ring member, a co-axial guide member, a stationary grip-ring member having a radially deployable toothed distal end for grippingly engaging the terminal portion of tubing, and a sleeve limiter disposed around the ring member for restricting ring member axial movement. A release member laterally deploys the toothed distal end and additionally operates in concert with inserted tubing to cause radial deployment of the distal end to cause surrounding receipt of the tubing. The release member then moves to a non-release position upon minimal reverse-direction tubing travel for automatic tubing retention by the toothed distal end of the stationary grip ring member. Hand movement of the release member radially deploys the toothed distal end which results in release thereof of the retained tubing and its withdrawability from the connector.
