Title: Breathing apparatus
Inventor: GIORGINI EUGENE
IPC: A62B18/02
Filed: 1997-06-02
Abstract: A breathing apparatus (1, 111) includes a regulator (10, 112) which delivers air to a user wearing a mask (14, 116). The regulator is connected to the mask through an adaptor (12, 114). The adaptor includes an exhalation valve (30, 136) which enables the user's breath to pass out of the adaptor to atmosphere.  The regulator includes a sensing diaphragm (46) that is movable responsive to pressure in the mask. A main valve (58) delivers air to the mask responsive to opening of a pilot valve (65). The pilot valve includes a pilot opening (66).  A lever (50) moves in response to the sensing diaphragm to open the pilot opening which causes flow through the main valve. Air from the main valve is also delivered to a positive pressure chamber (74). Pressure in the positive pressure chamber moves a positive pressure diaphragm (76) which causes a positive pressure spring (94) to biasingly engage the sensing diaphragm. The biasing of the sensing diaphragm causes the regulator to maintain a positive pressure in the mask. Positive pressure is discontinued by relieving pressure from the positive pressure chamber by manually actuating a vent valve (108).

Title: Socket for integrated circuit chip
Inventor: GOODWIN JONATHAN WAYNE
IPC: H01R33/76
Filed: 1999-02-10
Abstract: The present invention is generally related to mounting an integrated circuit chip on a printed circuit board, and more particularly to a socket that facilitates mounting and alignment of an integrated circuit chip on a printed circuit board.   Sockets for mounting electronic devices such as integrated circuit chips on a printed circuit board are known. The socket may be mounted to the printed circuit board, while the integrated circuit chip is snap-fitted into the socket. One advantage of this arrangement is that, unlike integrated circuit chips that are soldered directly on the printed circuit board, an integrated circuit chip that is mounted in a socket can be easily disconnected from the printed circuit board for testing and replacement. However, the relatively dense layout and small size of electrical contacts on same integrated circuit chips necessitates precise alignment both between the socket, and the printed
