Abstract: A patient transfer device is utilized to transport infant patients between locations within a hospital environment. The patient transfer device includes a center, support section and a pair of side sections that can be moved into contact with each other to surround the infant patient. The first and second side sections each include a handle that can be brought into close proximity to each other and can be grasped by a single hand of a clinician. The patient transfer device includes a heart rate sensor positioned to provide a heart rate measurement of the patient when the patient is received on the patient transfer device. The patient heart rate can be displayed on either an integrated display or wirelessly transmitted to an external display device. In this manner, the heart rate of the infant can be continuously monitored during transport.

Abstract: A method and system for determining the weight of an infant when the infant is initially placed upon a support platform of an infant care device. Prior to placing an infant on the support platform, a control unit of the infant care device enters into an instant weight mode. In the instant weight mode, the control unit obtains one or more initial weight readings from one or more sensors positioned beneath the support platform to zero out the weight reading. When an infant is placed upon the support platform, the control unit calculates and displays the weight of the infant. A caregiver manually accepts the displayed weight as the initial weight of the infant and the control unit exits the instant weight mode.

Abstract: Edging strips for concrete floors employ parallel strips as lost formwork secured to removable timber formwork using a nailing bracket that has a horizontal plate section 32 and a vertical plate section 35, the horizontal plate section slides underneath one of the strips as the strips separate due to concrete contraction and supports a filler by bridging under the filler, the horizontal plate section comprises an elongate section of the horizontal plate section having lobes 33 and 34 at each end. These lobes are welded to the underside of one of the strips 11 or 12 with the other strip located on top of the elongate section. The vertical plate is a fixing plate 35 with predrilled holes for nailing to the timber form, the elongate section having tapered corners opposite each lobe and the vertical plate extending in a plane located between the lobes.

Abstract: A headed loop anchor (10) comprising a “U” shaped section having parallel spaced legs (11 and 12) and a looped adjoining section (13), the free ends (14 and 15) having heads (16 and 17). The headed loop anchor is formed by bending and then forging the head from the legs so the anchor is an integral unit. In use, the headed loop anchors are positioned in parallel spaced relation so that the looped sections (13) project from a slab so that a suitable connector may be used to hook over the loop sections (13) in order to connect adjacent concrete sections together.

Abstract: A fence assembly comprising a plurality of panels with a panel about to be connected to panel. The panel is shown in part with a dappled appearance at due to the inclusion of a shrink-wrap cover applied to the panel. All other panels also have a similar coating. The panel has a based form of a rigid mesh. The shrink-wrap material is applied to the mesh as a flat panel. The panel with the shrink-wrap so applied is then folded over at the top and bottom to form rail as a lower rail and an upper rail. The panels taper so the spacing between the upper and lower rails is wider at one end than the other so the panels are effectively left and right handed. A star picket is driven ground through the overlapping rails. A cap is applied to the posts and held by a retainer and pin.

Abstract: Apparatus (method implemented with a machine, the machine, and the method for making the machine, and products produced thereby). The computer system can, for example, be structured (e.g., including programmed) to carry out the steps of: calculating an insurance reserve requirement from data; segmenting, for the reserve requirement, an insured contingency risk from a corresponding capital requirement to produce components; and carrying out the reinsurance transaction by steps including: allocating the components to different parties, one of the parties from a group including an insurance risk carrier and a source of an asset for said capital requirement; and assigning assets for the reserve requirement to a reinsurance asset trust to receive reinsurance credit for said reserve requirement.

Abstract: Composition for cleaning cooking surfaces comprises, by weight, from about 0.5% to about 10% of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactants having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is H, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, 2-hydroxyl ethyl or 2-hydroxy propyl; R.sub.2 is a C.sub.5 -C.sub.31 hydrocarbyl; and Z is a polyhydroxyhydrocarbyl having a linear hydrocarbyl chain with at least 3 hydroxyls directly connected to the chain, or an alkoxylated derivative of the polyhydroxyhydrocarbyl wherein at least one of the hydroxyls is alkoxylated; from about 0% to about 10% of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of amine oxide surfactants having the formula:R.sub.3 R.sub.4 R.sub.5 N.fwdarw.Owherein R.sub.3 is an alkyl having from about 8 to about 16 carbon atoms, and R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are each independently methyl or ethyl; and mixtures thereof; from about 0.

Abstract: A formwork comprising a metal panel 11 having an upper portion 12, a lower portion 13 and a intermediate portion 14 displaced laterally out of the line of the panel 11, the portions 12 and 13 have spaced holes 15 through which reinforcing rods 16 project so that the ends of the reinforcing rods can be tied to similar rods in an adjacent slab to be poured in order to occupy the space at 17. A slab poured upon a timber deck 18 and the metal form provided by the panel 11 is retained in place by upright bracing rods 19 located at spaced intervals along the form 11 and passing through pairs of holes 20 and 21 in the intermediate section 14.

Abstract: An end cap comprising a hollow base section 11 which can be fitted over the end of a bar. A larger cap section 12 is attachable to the base section 11 to project radially outward therefrom. The base section 11 includes a braced intermediate cap section 13 having a slot 14 into which a bar 14a (shown in phantom) can be fitted using a hand insertable snap action. The intermediate cap section 13 includes an eyelet 15 into which a tab 16 of the cap 12 is fitted as the tab 16 is manually pulled downward as shown in phantom at 17. The enlarged cap section 12 is snap fitted in place via the downwardly projecting legs 18 being forced into the slot 14 so that the shoulders 19 engage the slot.
