Abstract: The present invention relates to a gypsum board hanging tool that allows a single workman to hang gypsum board on a conventional or inclined ceiling. Specifically, the gypsum board hanging tool comprises a support housing, a wheel that is rotatably attached to the support housing, and a support strut which is removably attached to at least one extension of the support housing. The support housing also has a means whereby a support strut may be attached. The support housing also has a means an aperture in its upper surface that is capable of receiving, within the support housing, a hanging member, such as a nail or screw, that is first attached to a ceiling or a wall. The hanging member allows the support housing to be suspended from the ceiling and to adjust and swivel about the hanging member.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a media cutting tool for use with a template. The apparatus of the present invention maintains proper alignment with a template through the use of a novel offset, rotating, cutting blade and guards against skipping along the cut as the apparatus is drawn around a template through the use of a novel guide mechanism which engages the template being traced. The present invention also employs a transparent handle for an improved view of the cutting area.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using a guidewire to intubate a standard endotracheal tube in a patient. An insertion mechanism is used to enable delivery of a guidewire to the tracheal cavity of a patient. The guidewire is then threaded up the tracheal cavity, through the glottic opening and up either the oropharyngeal airway, so as to extend out of the patient's mouth, or up the nasopharyngeal airway, so as to extend out of the patient's a nostril. A typical endotracheal tube, having a channel that extends from a proximal end to a distal end of the tube, is coupled to the guidewire and is positioned into the tracheal cavity of the patient by using the guidewire to withdraw the tube down the airway and into the trachea. The endotracheal tube is decoupled from the guidewire, and the guidewire is removed from the patient, leaving the endotracheal tube properly intubated in the patient.
