Abstract: A sensor adaptor couples a face mask to a gas sampling tube connected to a device detecting end-tidal carbon dioxide. The sensor adaptor includes a shaft and connector. The shaft includes a channel providing a pathway for the carbon dioxide to travel toward the gas sampling tube. One end of the shaft includes an adaptor tip which extends through an exit port of the face mask. A connector is attached to the other end of the shaft and couples the sensor adaptor to the gas sampling line. A gripper may surround the shaft and prevent improper advancement of the shaft into the face mask. The sensor adaptor can be designed for use with any gas sampling tube and any face mask including exit ports.

Abstract: Pressure sensitive adhesives produced from naturally occurring fats and oils are described. Also described are methods of producing the pressure sensitive adhesives. Generally, one or more naturally occurring fats or oils are epoxidized, and then reacted with certain alcohols or amines to thereby obtain the noted pressure sensitive adhesives.

Abstract: A sensor adaptor (20) couples a face mask (22) to a gas sampling tube (24) connected to a device detecting end-tidal carbon dioxide. The sensor adaptor (20) includes a shaft (30) and connector (54). The shaft (30) includes a channel (40) providing a pathway for the carbon dioxide to travel toward the gas sampling tube (24). One end of the shaft (30) includes an adaptor tip (26) which extends through an exit port (28) of the face mask (22). A connector (54) is attached to the other end of the shaft (30) and couples the sensor adaptor (20) to the gas sampling line. A gripper (42) may surround the shaft (30) and prevent improper advancement of the shaft (30) into the face mask (22). The sensor adaptor (20) can be designed for use with any gas sampling tube and any face mask including exit ports.

Abstract: A method for forming a pressure sensitive adhesive including providing a substance that is an epoxidized triglyceride or an epoxidized fatty ester, and polymerizing the substance. A pressure sensitive adhesive can be formed by copolymerizing at least two substances that can be an epoxidized triglyceride, epoxidized fatty ester, or (meth)acrylic copolymer. In yet another method, the at least two substances can be an acrylated epoxidized triglyceride, acrylic copolymer, fatty acid based monomer produced by the reaction of an acid group of a fatty acid and an epoxy group of glycidylmethacrylate, or (meth)acrylic monomer.

Abstract: A decorative dry color laminate includes a dry color layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side of the dry color layer, and a carrier in releasable contact with the dry color layer on a side opposite from the pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). In use, the adhesive layer adheres the dry color laminate to the surface under application of pressure, and the carrier is peeled away to expose the dry color layer. Methods for providing a substantially permanent color effect on an architectural surface comprise delivering such an article to the architectural surface.

Abstract: A continuous process for manufacturing self-assembled multilayer coatings, and more particularly, to a continuous process for making multilayer coatings in a roll-to-roll process. A predetermined number of alternating nanoscopic layers of positively charged and negatively charges species are deposited on a moving substrate to form a multilayer composite coating on a substrate in roll form.

Abstract: A multilayer barrier coating of alternating layers of an organic material and a negatively charged inorganic material. The barrier coating may be a barrier to oxygen, moisture, flavor and/or aroma. The organic material is deposited on a substrate from an aqueous solution, followed by rinsing and then drying the adsorbed layer of organic material. The negatively charged inorganic material is then deposited over the organic material from an aqueous solution, followed by rinsing and then drying the adsorbed layer of inorganic material.

Abstract: A composition that can be coated as a hot melt or as a high solids content solution comprises, on a percent-by-weight basis, 85-99.7% of at least one acrylic copolymer, 0.1-5% of at least one photoinitiator, and 0.2-10% of at least one multifunctional (meth)acrylate. The composition is readily crosslinked by exposure to ultraviolet light to yield a high-performance acrylic PSA.
