Abstract: A method for donating to a charitable organization from a digital donation platform is provided. The method may include identifying a digital transmission from the charitable organization including a request for a donation of funds. The method may include creating a digital account for the charitable organization. The method may include assigning a score for the charitable organization based on a diversity of employees in the organization. When the score is equal to or above a pre-determined threshold, the method may include assigning one of a first tier of digital portals to the charitable organization including a first level of platform oversight over the funds being transferred. When the score is below the pre-determined threshold, the method may include assigning one of a second tier of digital portals to the charitable organization including a second level of platform oversight over the funds being transferred.

Abstract: The monomer transfer device of this invention includes a syringe adapted to receive an ampule and adapted for connection to a vacuum source such that with the ampule open within the syringe body, the monomer is vacuumed out of the ampule and into the mixing container. Alternative embodiments accept an unbroken ampule and include an offset designed to break the ampule at its predetermined break point to permit the contents of the ampule to be vacuumed from the ampule and transferred to the mixing container. A small mesh filter or screen may be included to any of the ampule before it reaches the mixing container. Once the ampule is inserted into the syringe, an end cap is connected to close the syringe and maintain any fumes within the syringe. In the alternative embodiments, the end cap acts to force the ampule against the offset so as to cause the ampule to break.

Abstract: An injection gun especially useful for injecting low volume, high pressure shots of bone cement. The gun includes a cylindrical housing with a plunger including a plunger rod extending axially through the housing. The plunger rod includes a segment which is provided with an axial series of notches. A ratchet block is slidable axially within the cylindrical housing and is concentric with the plunger rod. The ratchet cylinder mounts at least a ratchet pawl urged against the plunger rod and adapted to engage and lock into the series of notches for forward movement. A pistol grip extends from the cylindrical housing, and a lever is pivoted thereto with an extension of the lever engaging the ratchet cylinder for advancing the plunger. A second ratchet pawl is mounted on a fixed member of the cylindrical housing for retaining the plunger against rearward movement when the pawl in the ratchet cylinder is disengaged from the rod.
