The COVID-19 pandemic has created a significant spike in the demand for medical ventilators, sometimes referred to as mechanical respirators. As ventilator manufacturers rush to increase production quantities, the development of oxygen-safe fluids and greases for ventilator components becomes progressively important. These specialty greases and lubricants are essential in ventilator processing and application as they
With the seemingly insurmountable challenges surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the surge in cases has created yet another obstacle–the shortage of medical oxygen. Though the essential gas itself is not experiencing scarcity, the overwhelming number of coronavirus cases, specifically in the United States, has been problematic in both the supply chain and hospital equipment capacity. As
The coronavirus introduces several new challenges in healthcare manufacturing and logistics, as many industries scramble to deliver on the unpredictable level of demands. Oxygen, for instance, is an indispensable requirement for the medical community, especially in the midst of an upper respiratory infection-based pandemic. This essential gas is unsurprisingly difficult to transport, as it must

Lithium Ion Batteries (LIBs) have become ubiquitous in our daily lives. New battery designs and technologies continue to evolve to meet the ever-increasing needs for mobile energy storage, continuing to provide higher energy densities and improve safety. Likewise, for applications where weight and size are the most critical factors, Lithium Polymer Batteries (LiPo) have emerged as higher energy density alternatives to traditional LIBs. For this reason, LiPos are used in applications such as unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) and miniaturized consumer electronics devices, where the need for prolonged power in between charging must be balanced with a
