Appl. No.:

12/623524

Inventors:

Thomas Lynch - Chesterfield NJ, US
Wilbur Mardis - Holland PA, US

Assignee:

Elementis Specialties, Inc. - Hightstown NJ

International Classification:

C08C 1/08

US Classification:

523335, 524300, 524306, 524308

Abstract:

A film-forming composition including a coalescent aid comprising fatty acid esters of ethylene glycol and/or propylene glycol having the formula RCOO[(EO)(PO)]H wherein RCO is a linear saturated aliphatic acyl group, or a combination thereof, having from about 6 to about 22 carbon atoms, EO is —CHCHO—, PO is —CHCH(CH)O— or —CH(CH)CHO— or a combination thereof, where the acyl radical is bonded to a carbon atom of the EO or PO radical, and x=0 to about 5, y=about 0 to about 5, the sum of x and y is equal or greater than 0. 5, z=1 to about 5, and (x+y)z is less than or equal to 6. It is to be understood that x, y, and z are average values for the composition.

International Classification:

A61B 5083

US Classification:

128719

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for monitoring the respiratory gas of a patient includes an adjustable volume gas mixing chamber which allows for the differences in lung capacity of patients from neonate to adult. A constant flow of a therapeutic gas mixture is measured by a flow meter in a supply line leading to a face mask breathing device. The mask is by-pass connected to the supply line such that the patient inspires from and exhales into the flow from the supply line. Both by-pass and expired gas mix and enter the adjustable-volume chamber, which contains an internal fan and sensors for detecting percentage content of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The chamber is adjusted to a volume where the sensor readings become stable rather than pulsatile. The change in percentages of oxygen and carbon dioxide content in the chamber, as compared to the content in the supply gas, is then entirely due to total-body consumption and production. Whole body rates can be determined by multiplying the percentage change by the flow rate in the supply line.
