Abstract: A coating for paper comprising water, pigments, binder and poly(ethylene oxide). The binder comprising about 1 to 30 percent by weight of the dry weight of the pigments and the poly(ethylene oxide) comprising about 0.001 to 10 percent by weight of the dry weight of the pigments. The coating has a very low Brookfield viscosity. The poly(ethylene oxide) coating provides superior gloss and smoothness relative to conventional paper coatings and may be applied to the paper in higher coat weights. A process for using the poly(ethylene oxide) coating to make improved paper is also disclosed.

Abstract: A positioner for holding and supporting an infant in either a prone or supine position consisting of a wedge having a first plane at a given angle of at least 30 degrees that is contiguous with a second plane having an angle that is less than the angle of the first plane. A bifurcated U-shaped member is located over the first plane and the extending tapered arms of the bifurcated U-shaped member contact both portions of the first plane and the second plane thereby preventing movement of the infant in a vertical direction or in a lateral direction while at the same time allowing the infant to move in a safe and unrestrained manner.
