A static face seal and separate static diametric seal between the shell (161800) and frame (16100). A dynamic face seal and separate dynamic diametric seal between the air delivery connector (16600) and frame (16100). Separate claims (FIG. 6) to a frame assembly (16100) with upper headgear connector arms (16134) including at least one slot (6146) (claim 17) or flexible portions (claim 22) to form hinges structured and arranged to conform to varying facial profiles.
