Abstract: A furniture apparatus including a frame; and a hidden container. The hidden container configured transition between an open state and a closed state, the hidden container being visible when the hidden container is in the open state, and the hidden container being hidden from view when the hidden container is in the closed state.

Abstract: A stopcock including a stopcock body including a central axial opening, and first and second stopcock luer connectors extending radially and in fluid communication with the central axial opening. The stopcock includes a stopcock core axially disposed within the central axial opening. The stopcock core includes an engagement end axially connectable with a syringe, an axial port formed at the engagement end for fluidly communicating with the syringe, a first radial port, and a first passage extending between the axial port and the first radial port. The stopcock core has a first position with the first radial port in fluid communication with the first stopcock luer connector. The stopcock core has a second position with the first radial port in fluid communication with the second stopcock luer connector. The core is rotatable from the first position to the second position upon the syringe being axially rotated.

Abstract: A stopcock comprising having a body and a core. The body has a central chamber and a plurality of connectable ports formed therein that are in fluid communication with the central member. The core is rotatable sealed inside the central chamber. The core has a first cavity, an axially connectable port fluidly connected to the first cavity, and a second cavity formed to be fluidly connectable to two of the plurality of connectable ports in the body, when the core is in a first position. The first cavity is formed to fluidly connect the axially connectable port to one of the two connectable ports when the core is in a second position.

Abstract: The present invention provides a four-port, four-way stopcock having two components, a body and a core, that are assembled together and form a fluid-tight and air-tight seal. The body has a number of connectable ports attached to a central chamber. The core has an axial port and is positioned within the central chamber so that it can be rotated with respect to the body. The core also has two independent fluid passages that can carry fluid between two different sets of ports, simultaneously. For example, the core can be rotated to a position wherein fluid flows between the axial port of the core and one of the connectable ports of the body, while separate and different fluid also flows between two other connectable ports of the body.

Abstract: An adapter for interfacing a needle-less syringe with a medication vial is disclosed. The adapter has a body and a detachable means for sealably receiving the inlet of the syringe at one end. The detachable means is substantially centered about the body and has a central bore fluidically connecting the adapter with the syringe. Extending substantially perpendicular to the body and opposite to the detachable means is a piercing means which is substantially elongated in shape. The piercing means has a longitudinal axis with a spike bore extending along the longitudinal axis fluidically connecting the central bore with the spike bore. An adapter inlet is positioned along the longitudinal axis fluidically connecting to the spike bore, at a distance such that the distance between the inlet and the body is greater than the thickness of the cap of the medicine vial.

Abstract: A recirculation valve with pilot valve.

Abstract: A low pressure recirculation valve for cooling a centrifugal pump. The invention comprises a unitary valve casing divided into a first valve chamber and a second valve chamber, the casing having a first port for introducing fluids into said first chamber, and a second port for expelling fluids out of said second chamber, the first chamber having a recirculation port for redirecting fluids back to said centrifugal pump. A multiple piece check valve member situated between said first chamber and second chambers permits the flow of fluid from said first chamber to the second chamber and prevents the flow of fluid from said second chamber to said first chamber. A slidable valve stem coupled to said check valve member and extending through the first chamber moves the check valve member from an open to closed position. Means coupled to said valve stem biases the slidable valve stem and check valve means toward the closed position.
