| 20080279253 | Method and articles for sensing relative temperature - A method for determining the relative body temperature of a warm-bodied animal is described. The method, in part, involves an article of manufacture that provides a manifestation, or visually observable indication on an exterior surface, of a relative state of the warm-bodied animal's body temperature, either being too cold or too hot, as a measure against relative levels of hypothermia or hyperthermia, or poor circulation. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090149772 | Temperature Indicator for Cooling Products - A cooling product (e.g., mask, glove, sock, etc.) configured to provide a cooling effect to the body part of a user is provided. The cooling product contains a thermochromic composition that undergoes a color change at a certain temperature. The color change may signal to a user that the cooling product is cold, thus providing an indication that the desired treatment is still functioning. Likewise, the color change may signal that the product is warm, thus providing an indication that the treatment is complete. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090149925 | Temperature Indicator for Warming Products - A warming product (e.g., mask, glove, sock, etc.) configured to provide heat to the body part of a user is provided. The warming product contains a thermochromic composition that undergoes a color change at a certain temperature. The color change may signal to a user that the warming product is hot, thus providing an indication that the desired treatment is still functioning. Likewise, the color change may signal that the product is cool, thus providing an indication that the treatment is complete. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20100051035 | LOW-PRESSURE AIRWAY MANAGEMENT DEVICE WITH ACTIVE COATING AND METHOD FOR PATIENT CARE - An improved endotracheal tube that has a modified surface coating that can elute active agents is described. The coated surface and the use of the device according to a new method or regime for a healthcare worker to care for patients can help reduce the likelihood of ventilator acquire pneumonia or other infections in a patient's respiratory passages. | 03-04-2010 |
