A system is introduced for the simulation of spray painting. Head mounted display goggles are combined with a tracking system to allow users to paint a virtual surface with a spray gun. Ray tracing is used to simulate droplets landing on the surface of the object, allowing arbitrary shapes and spray gun patterns to be used. This system is combined with previous research on spray gun characteris...

This paper is about a development process of a novel sound effect device, which resembles ordinary spray can, with the purpose of adding sound elements to existing spray paint art. To this end, we first investigate the processes and the characteristics of spray paint art and find the common elements that can be expressed in an auditory form. We then design a prototype using Arduino and various ...

Increased machine efficiency is a requirement in today’s world and geared transmissions are no exception. A back-toback gear test rig was used to compare dip lubrication with spray lubrication regarding gearbox efficiency, mesh efficiency, gear temperature and surface roughness. Gears lubricated at the inlet of the mesh show a lower measured temperature when compared to spray lubrication at the...

Clobetasol propionate is a super-high potent class 1 topical corticosteroid available in several formulations, including a spray formulation that is approved for use up to 4 weeks in patients aged 18 years and older with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The efficacy and safety of clobetasol propionate spray 0.05% has been extensively evaluated in clinical trials in more than 2200 patients w...

In order to improve local therapeutic techniques for the massively burnt patients and to minimize the pain associated with dressing change, the concept of topical film was utilized to formulate a topical antimicrobial spray. The commonly used topical antimicrobial silver sulfadiazine spray was formulated as a new drug delivery system. The release of therapeutic agents in vitro from medicated sp...

OBJECTIVE Fear of pain during intrauterine device (IUD) insertion can be a barrier to widespread use of this safe and highly effective contraceptive method. Our objective was to determine the effectiveness of topical 10% lidocaine spray for pain control during IUD insertion. METHODS A total of 200 subjects with the request for IUD insertion were included in the study. The patients were random...

Heat transfer rate at the skin-air interface is of critical importance for the benefits of cryogen spray cooling in combination with laser therapy of shallow subsurface skin lesions, such as port -wine stain birthmarks. With some cryogen spray devices, a layer of liquid cryogen builds up on the skin surface during the spurt, which may impair heat transfer across the skin surface due to relative...

Spray drying is a promising method for the stabilization of vaccines, which are usually formulated as liquids. Usually, vaccine stability is improved by spray drying in the presence of a range of excipients. Unlike freeze drying, there is no freezing step involved, thus the damage related to this step is avoided. The edge of spray drying resides in its ability for particles to be engineered to ...

The effect of various humidities on process yields and degrees of crystallinity for spray-dried powders from spray drying of lactose with humid air in a straight-through system have been studied. It has been suggested by Williams–Landel–Ferry kinetics (WLF) that a higher particle temperature and lower glass-transition temperature would increase the crystallization rate of the particles during t...
