Title: Method of preparing primary refractory metal
Inventor: NATAN SHEKTER LEONID
IPC: C22B34/20
Filed: 2006-03-15
Granted: 2011-10-13
Abstract: A method of preparing primary refractory metais (e.g., primary tantalum metal) by contacting a particulate refractory metal oxide (e.g., tantalum pentoxide) with a heated gas (e.g., a plasma), is described. The heated gas comprises hydrogen gas. The temperature range of the heated gas and the mass ratio of hydrogen gas to refractory metal oxide are each selected such that: (i) the heated gas comprises atomic hydrogen; (ii) the refractory metal oxide feed material is substantially thermodynamically stabilized (i.e., the concurrent formation of suboxides that are not reduced by atomic hydrogen is minimized); and (iii) the refractory metal oxide is reduced by contact with the heated gas, thereby forming primary refractory metal (e.g., primary tantalum metal and/or primary niobium metal).

Title: Sub-tidal volume rebreather and second stage regulator
Inventor: BRANDT JAN-PHILIP CHENEVIER
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 2006-04-06
Granted: 2012-11-01
Abstract: Presented is a sub-tidal volume rebreather (STVR) and various embodiments that extend the useful range and/or reduce the encumbrance of any breathable gas, whether filtered, compressed, or otherwise, used by a diver, serviceman, fireman, or other user of such equipment. In an exemplary embodiment the second stage regulator (Reg2) of the rebreather (STVR) is connected via an ambient pressure breathing tube (APTR) to an overpressure relief valve (ORV), which is again connected to a sub- tidal volume counter lung (STVcI) via a C02 absorbent canister (Scrub). During each exhalation, upon maximum inflation of the sub-tidal volume counter lung (STVcI), the overpressure relief valve (ORV) releases the heavily C02 laden back portion of the user' s respiratory tidal volume (RTV) before it reaches the C02 absorbent chemical in its canister (Scrub).

The appliance 1 has a resting form in which the resilient materials of the base member 2 and the teeth engaging 10 member 5 are in their resting condition. The appliance 1 can be flexed or deformed out of the resting form to fit the underdeveloped dental arch form into the dental arch receiving channel 46, 47. When deformed the appliance 1 exerts a return force that is directed to returning it to its resting form which in use urges the underdeveloped dental arch to expand into a developed dental arch form. 15 FIG 9 FOR PUBLICATION x 44 10 \26 12
