Abstract: A method of manufacturing a patient transfer system including obtaining an inflatable device, where the device includes a top sheet of material and a bottom sheet of material connected to the top sheet of material defining a cavity therebetween to be inflated. The device further includes a plurality of passages in the bottom sheet extending from the cavity to an exterior of the device, where the passages are configured to permit air to pass from the cavity to the exterior of the device. The device also including a plurality of inflation-limiting members connecting the top sheet and bottom sheet, and an input configured for receiving air to inflate the device. The method further includes providing an absorbent body pad with the inflatable device, the absorbent body pad configured to be positioned between the top sheet of material and a patient positioned on the inflatable device.

Abstract: The DNS-based method of transmitting data provides a telecommunication method for transmitting user-selectable data through the Domain Name System (DNS). Selected data is encoded as an alphanumeric character string on a user device. A uniform resource locator (URL) having a domain part and a host part is generated, where the host part is constructed from the alphanumeric character string. The URL is transmitted from the user device to a local DNS server. The URL is forwarded from the local DNS server to an authoritative DNS server associated with a domain name of the domain part. A set of response bytes, which are responsive to the user-selectable data encoded as the alphanumeric character string of the host part, is generated at the domain and transmitted from the authoritative DNS server to the local DNS server. The set of response bytes are transmitted from the local DNS server to the user device.

Abstract: When polyurethane paint compositions are applied to natural or synthetic rubbers, as the paint composition dries and cures, the paint may "orange-peel," i.e. it wrinkles or beads without separating from the rubber. It has been found that by adding a small amount of a rubber to such a paint, such orange-peeling is prevented.
