  2. Aqua-Lung - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqua-Lung

    The invention was motivated by an effort to bypass Aqua-Lung's patent on the twin-hose regulator, which involved the return of exhaust gas to the regulator to reduce the differential pressure and therefore reduce the amount and variation of over- or under-pressure of the breathing gas in the lungs.

  3. Diving regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_regulator

    A diving regulator or underwater diving regulator is a pressure regulator that controls the pressure of breathing gas for underwater diving.The most commonly recognised application is to reduce pressurized breathing gas to ambient pressure and deliver it to the diver, but there are also other types of gas pressure regulator used for diving applications.

  4. Saturation diving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_diving

    Exhaust gas returns to the bell through the diver's umbilical exhaust hose, where it passes through a water separator and trap then through a back-pressure regulator which controls the pressure in the exhaust hose and which can be monitored on a pressure gauge in the bell and adjusted by the bellman to suit the excursion depth of the diver.

  5. Mechanism of diving regulators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_of_diving_regulators

    A burst low pressure hose will usually lose gas faster than a burst high pressure hose, as HP hoses usually have a flow restriction orifice in the fitting that screws into the port, [4]: 185 as the submersible pressure gauge does not need high flow, and a slower pressure increase in the gauge hose is less likely to overload the gauge, while the ...

  6. Backflow prevention device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow_prevention_device

    Back pressure can force an undesirable contaminant to enter potable water piping. Sources of back pressure may be boilers, heat exchanging equipment, power washing equipment, fire sprinklers, or pumps in the water distribution system. In some cases there may be an almost continuous risk of overcoming the static water pressure in the piping.

  7. Faucet aerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faucet_aerator

    Shape the water stream coming out of the faucet spout, to produce a straight and evenly pressured stream; Conserve water and reduce energy costs; Reduce faucet noise; Increase perceived water pressure (often used in homes with low water pressure); sometimes described as a pressure regulator or flow regulator

    Why some members don’t like Johnson Johnson, however, may not have the votes despite his bullish predictions on Thursday that he’d surge to victory in a single round of voting.

  9. Dehumanization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehumanization

    Dehumanization often ignores the target's individuality (i.e., the creative and exciting aspects of their personality) and can hinder one from feeling empathy or correctly understanding a stigmatized group. [11] Dehumanization may be carried out by a social institution (such as
