Abstract: A second pressure reducing stage for scuba regulators, which has a breathing gas mixture supply chamber (1), having a gas mixture inlet (2), which has, on the side turned toward the chamber (1), a valve orifice (3) cooperating with a poppet seat (4) which is placed at an end of a poppet (5), sliding axially inside a tubular element (6) to move the seat (4) away and closer to said orifice (3), hence to open and close the inlet (2), the poppet (5) being held in the closed position, in the non inhalation condition, by a compression spring (7) whereas, during inhalation, said poppet (5) is driven toward opening the inlet (2) by the negative pressure of inhalation and/or by the pressure of the gas supplied into the second stage, the poppet (5) having a body of a smaller radial size than the opening size of the tubular guide element (6) and ridges or tabs (12) for centering and guiding it, which slideably cooperate with the inner surface of the tubular element (6). The invention provides means for preventing the poppet (5) from rotating relative to the tubular element (6), by providing that at least one of the tabs (12) or each of at least two tabs (12, 20), or all the tabs, which have different angular orientations, slideably engage in corresponding axial guide means formed on the inner surface of the tubular guide element (6), such as a groove (14, 21), or an axial longitudinal rail (18) formed on the inner wall of the tubular element (6).

Abstract: A radiation-recording plate is constructed and arranged to form an image upon exposure from either of two sides. The plate includes a marker detectable in the image after exposure and indicative of which of the two sides the plate is exposed from. The marker may comprise a medium opaque to the radiation coating a region that does not interfere with reading the image when the plate is exposed from either side. Such a plate may be sensitive to X-radiation, and the medium may comprise a heavy element, an alloy including a heavy element, a compound including a heavy element or a salt of a heavy element. For example, the medium may include one of Pb, Sn, Bi, I. A plate sensitive to X-radiation may incorporate a medium comprising a heavy metal suspended in a binder applied to the region. The marker may have bilateral asymmetry about at least one axis. If the marker has bilateral asymmetry, it may have horizontal asymmetry relative to a normal image orientation. Alternatively, the marker may have vertical asymmetry relative to a normal image orientation. A method of identifying a side from which a radiation-recording plate has been exposed to radiation may include: incorporating in the plate, in a position that substantially does not interfere with an image area of the plate, a marker whose appearance in the image identifies which side the plate is exposed from; exposing the plate to the radiation; and observing the image for the identification of the side of the plate exposed. The method may further comprise: arranging the marker to indicate a rotational orientation of the plate; and observing the image for the indication of the rotational orientation of the plate. A method of making a radiation sensitive plate having at least one radiation sensitive layer, may comprise: providing a film sensitive to the radiation on a first side of the radiation sensitive layer; and applying a suspension of a heavy metal in a binder to a region of a second side of the radiation sensitive layer.
