Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to methods of manufacturing plasterboards, such as gypsum wallboards. One aspect of the disclosure is a method of manufacturing a building board that includes providing a wet building board by allowing a plaster slurry to set between opposing facings, the wet building board having a set plaster core disposed between the facings; and providing a surfactant (such as a quaternary ammonium salt surfactant) on at least one of the facings (e.g., by applying an aqueous surfactant-containing composition to the facing); then conducting the wet building board to a drying oven, for example, via one or more conveyers (e.g., rollers and/or belts and/or rails); and drying the wet building board in the drying oven to provide the building board.

Abstract: A humidifier system for humidifying a microenvironment in a neonatal incubator includes a reservoir configured to hold water to be evaporated for humidifying the microenvironment. A movable heating element is positioned at a surface level of the water inside a heating chamber so as to heat the water at the surface level inside the heating chamber. The heating element is configured such that it is moved downward within the heating chamber so as to maintain the heating element at the surface level of the water as an amount of water in the reservoir decreases.

Abstract: A composition and process for manufacture thereof used in hybrid inventive building materials comprising Syngenite (K2Ca(SO4)2.H2O) and Struvite-K (KMgPO4.6H2O). Starting constituents include magnesium oxide (MgO), monopotassium phosphate (MKP) and stucco (calcium sulfate hemihydrate), mixed in predetermined ratios, cause reactions to proceed through multiple phases, which reactions variously are proceeding simultaneously and in parallel. Variables, e.g., water temperature, pH, mixing times and rates, have been found to affect resultant reaction products. Preferred ratios of chemical constituents and manufacturing parameters, including predetermined weight percent and specified ratios of Struvite-K and Syngenite are provided for building products used for specified purposes. Reactions are optimized in stoichiometry and additives to reduce the combined heat of formation to non-destructive levels. Various additives help control and guide reactions.

Abstract: A neonatal incubator system includes a platform configured to support a neonate and an enclosure supported above the platform and configured to create a chamber around the neonate. The enclosure includes a movable side panel on a side of the enclosure openable to place the neonate on the platform enclosable to secure the neonate within the chamber. The enclosure also includes a latch engageable when the movable side panel is in a closed position and configured to maintain the movable side panel in the closed position, and also includes a biasing device configured to force the movable side panel away from the closed position when the latch is not engaged.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for utilizing a push notification action engine (e.g., a push notification action engine of a client device). The techniques include receiving a push notification comprising a structured data payload, the structured data payload comprising a specification of content to be rendered on a display of the client device. The push notification action engine generates display information in accordance with the specification and sends the display information to the operating system of the client device. Sending the display information to the operating system may cause the operating system to render a user interface component on the display of the client device. The push notification action engine may receive user input associated with the user interface component and cause execution of one or more workflows in response to receipt of the user input.

Abstract: An infant care device and mattress for use with the infant care device for supporting the weight of an infant during normal use and during resuscitation. The mattress includes a non-Newtonian fluid that supports the weight of the infant. The non-Newtonian fluid allows the mattress to act as a pressure diffusing mattress when the infant patient is placed on the mattress for an extended period of time. The non-Newtonian fluid reacts to a force applied to the mattress, such as during resuscitation, such that the non-Newtonian fluid stiffens and provides the required support for the infant during such resuscitation. The non-Newtonian fluid is contained in one or more flexible pouches positioned within a mattress body. The mattress of the present disclosure thus replaces the need for a separate foam mattress and pressure diffusing mattress.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for the isolation of microvesicles comprising contacting the sample with at least one polysaccharide to isolate the microvesicles.
