Hanne - Thank you very much! ;)
Great piece. I loved it. You know we still have shipwrecks in and around the port of Veracruz, Mexico. Seems the captains don't alway judge correctly the ingoing channel and get themselves fouled up in the corral reefs. Sometimes they get so snagged that they just leave their wrecked cargo ships just as they were and over the years they become additions to the reefs, which is good, and augmented shipping threats, which is bad. Beautiful work, Saludos, Jim Barber Hove, Mexico
Jim, that is fascinating about the shipwrecks. You often do not think about that happening with all the technology out there. Those rees must be great places to dive. Thanks for the comment.
Great capture with very strong composition.

Ginnifer Goodwin Is Snow White on 'Once Upon a Time'
Now that "Big Love" is at the end of the line, Ginnifer Goodwin begins to channel her focus on new projects. Beside starring in big screen movies, the actress has signed up for another regular TV role in ABC's drama pilot "Once Upon a Time".
Goodwin is set to take the lead role as Snow White since the project is based on the fairytale story. Coming from the executive producers of "Lost", Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, it centers on a woman with a troubled past who is drawn into a small town in Maine where the magic and mystery of Fairy Tales just may be real.
In fact, Goodwin would pull a double duty as the alter ego, Sister Mary Margaret who is described as a beautiful woman with dark hair and very pale skin who has been placed under a wicked spell by the Evil Queen and is brought back from a living death by Prince Charming. Playing the Evil Queen is Lana Parrilla while playing Prince Charming is still unknown.
The decision of why 32-year-old actress is recruited for a princess role is perhaps because this Snow White is a mother. Mary's daughter may be the key to unlocking a spell cast by the Evil Queen, TV Guide reports.
British Mark Mylod, who directed the pilots for the UK series "Shameless" and its US version on Showtime, has signed up to direct the pilot.

This fall, Matthew McConaughey will return to his alma mater, the University of Texas, to teach a filmmaking class.

Academy Sets Dates for Oscar Nominations, Voting
37 minutes ago
Nominations for the 89th Academy Awards will be revealed on Tuesday, Jan. 24, the Academy announced on Thursday. The date is later than the nominations have been for four years, and pushes the announcement of nominations until after the Golden Globe Awards. It also moves the nominations announcement back to its traditional Tuesday in late January, rather than the mid-month Thursday that had been in effect since the Academy's Board of Governors opted for an earlier announcement in 2012. When that change was made, it was widely interpreted as an attempt to hurt the Golden Globes by announcing Oscar nominations before. »

Earlier this month, J.K. Simmons made headlines when photos surfaced of him looking ripped in the gym. However, contrary to popular belief, he wasn't training for "Justice League."

The way critics of the freshwater management policies tell it, this Government has just capitulated to dirty dairying by allowing rivers to degrade to the point where you can't swim in them.
OPINION: At its simplest, this claim is backed by the fact the new National Policy Statement on Freshwater Management and its accompanying National Objectives Framework require only that lakes and rivers be clean enough for wading and boating.
That's a minimum level, which Opposition parties are portraying as an inadequate cop-out, which makes a powerful political narrative ahead of a general election in which the centre-Left desperately needs some wins.
The Green Party has taken leadership on the issue, reducing the eye-watering complexity of a new freshwater regime down to "swimmable" versus "wade-able" waterways
In the court of public opinion, the idea that freshwater bodies - and the sea, for that matter - should be "swimmable" is obvious and attractive. Note, however, that no-one is saying all freshwater bodies should have water so clean that it's drinkable.
That really would be expensive. However, by setting its bar for water quality at swimmable, the Greens have left a frustrated Environment Minister Amy Adams floundering, for want of a better word.
Her instincts are rational and methodical - often unhelpful traits in the incandescent world of pre-election political rhetoric.
She is right that the plan her government has spent five years devising, through the collaborative process known as the Land and Water Forum, has produced the first coherent set of national rules for freshwater management, ending a policy review process that started under Labour and failed to land.
It's also true that this outcome is not a moment too soon.
Since 2000, agricultural intensification, especially dairying, has rapidly taken the country from having plenty of freshwater to share among competing users to over-allocation in many of our most economically and environmentally significant catchments.
Without this new regime, the deterioration in availability and quality of freshwater would get only worse.
Adams also knows, as does everyone involved in the LAWF process, that it may take up to 80 years for some of the pollutants that have leached into waterways from farming, industry, towns and cities to sluice their way through the water table.
In other words, making a river swimmable will take far longer than writing the press statement promising it.
To her, swimmability is a fine goal but not appropriate as a minimum standard.
"It is not the Government's intention to require every stormwater drainage channel across New Zealand to be suitable for swimming, because of the significant costs this would impose unnecessarily," she said.
Where Adams is truly vulnerable is in two other details of the new policy.
Firstly, there is no requirement at the national level that water bodies be improved from their current state unless they're below the minimum threshold, Category C, aka good for wading and boating. If a waterway is so dirty it's in Category D, regional councils must enact a plan to get it up to at least Category C.
Only at Category A or B status does it become safe for swimming, but the policy doesn't require regional councils to do any more than maintain water quality at current levels.
Secondly, water quality measures will be "within a region", meaning water quality could worsen in one place if it improves in another.
In theory, these escape clauses could freeze current water quality at current levels, except for the very dirtiest.
Yet in practice, that's unlikely. The new regime requires regional councils to consult their communities and collaborate to set its water quality standards. If the LAWF process is a guide, there will be plenty of voices in every community seeking cleaner water, many of them farmers who understand New Zealand needs clean water to be a clean food producer.
What they need, however, is time to adapt.
It's here that Green and Labour policy would apply far more stick than National's.
As Rabobank pointed out this week, the cost of complying with environmental regulation will challenge farmers' competitiveness, with water regulation at the top of the list.
"More fundamental research and innovation about how to retain and use nutrients within farming systems in cost-effective ways, rather than leave them in the system where they become problematic for water quality, is essential for New Zealand to maintain its competitiveness among dairy exporting countries," said the bank's New Zealand chief executive, Ben Russell.
Mind you, if dairying is the biggest threat to freshwater quality, then this week's further slump in global dairy prices might yet be good news.
With the rest of the world's dairy producers responding to high prices, global over-supply is looming in the next few years.
If that slows down dairy conversions in New Zealand, that might help take some of the pressure off the demands on one of our most precious resources.

This invention relates to gas separation systems utilising molecular sieves and is especially but not exclusively concerned with the employment of such systems in the aviation field for obtaining oxygen-enriched air as a breathable gas for aircrew.
In a gas separation system utilising zeolithic molecular sieves, a feed gas mixture is caused to flow through a bed of zeolite molecular sieve material having the capability of retaining unwanted constituent(s) of the gas mixture while passing the wanted constituent(s); for instance, in the separation of oxygen from air a molecular sieve material Type 5A as available, for example, from Bayer AG and Union Carbide Corporation may be used to hold back nitrogen and to pass oxygen to provide a delivery of a product gas that is approximately 95% oxygen. In the operation of such a system, the sieve material becomes progressively saturated with the retained gas constituent(s), e.g. nitrogen, and eventually becomes incapable of retaining further amounts of such constituent(s). The sieve material of the bed therefore has to be regenerated from time to time to purge it of the retained constituent(s). Typically regeneration is effected by flushing the bed, usually in the reverse direction, with the product gas while the outflow from the bed is discharged, e.g. to atmosphere.
To provide for continuous delivery of the desired product gas, the system may include a reservoir from which product gas is drawn for flushing the bed for regeneration purposes. Additionally or alternatively, the system may include a plurality of beds arranged to be utilised and regenerated in an overlapping sequence to provide for continuous delivery of a required product gas.
A common manner of operating a gas separation system employing one or more molecular sieve beds involves charging the or each bed with feed gas mixture--e.g. air--under pressure and continuing the feed to the bed to maintain the charge pressure during delivery of the required product gas constituent(s) to use or storage. When the bed approaches saturation, the feed is discontinued and the bed vented to release the charge pressure, whereafter the bed is purged. The pressurising of the sieve bed promotes adsorption of the constituents to be retained by the bed, while the subsequent depressurising promotes desorption of the retained constituents to facilitate flushing of these from the bed.
In aircraft applications it is normally required that the oxygen concentration (partial pressure) in the breathable gas supplied to aircrew shall be related to cabin altitude, i.e. to the ambient pressure obtaining within their enclosure.
Hitherto in early proposed aircraft applications of molecular sieve type gas separation systems, such systems have been treated as a source of substantially pure oxygen to be utilised in the manner traditional in aircrew breathable gas supply systems: that is to say, the substantially pure oxygen product gas delivered by the separation system is proposed to be diluted with air to provide a breathable gas mixture of the required oxygen partial pressure, in a manner analogous to the utilisation of the oxygen obtained from sources such as high pressure storage bottles and liquid oxygen converters.
The utilisation of a product gas that is substantially pure oxygen for producing oxygen-enriched air as breathable gas involves the use of appropriate mixing valves and related control devices to derive the desired breathable gas mixture. Such valves and control devices tend to be heavy and to be potentially unreliable through their inclusion of capsules and the like for sensing ambient pressure changes.
It has been proposed, therefore, to operate such a sieve system to produce a breathable gas of the required oxygen partial pressure directly from the molecular sieve system rather than by downstream dilution.
One embodiment of this concept disclosed in GB-A-2,029,257 (Linde) is a method of producing breathable gas having an oxygen concentration dependent on altitude, comprising obtaining the total volume of breathable gas required in normal continuous service solely by the controlled adsorptive removal of nitrogen from compressed air by means of reversible adsorbers operated in a cycle comprising adsorption and reverse desorption phases. The adsorbers are so operated that, during each adsorption phase, a continuously increasing proportion of nitrogen passes through to the outlet end of the adsorber on stream and the oxygen concentration of the respiration gas formed is adjusted within permissible range in accordance with the cabin pressure by controlling the amount of gas flowing through the adsorbers and/or the ratio of adsorption to desorption pressure.
In another embodiment of this concept, disclosed in EP-A-0,046,369 (Normalair-Garrett), control means responsive to the composition of the product breathable gas are adapted to control regeneration of the adsorber beds to maintain delivery of a product gas having the desired oxygen partial pressure. The control means utilises a microprocessor for control of the regeneration phase and also to provide a variety of other useful system functions.
The system disclosed in EP-A-0,046,369 was originally envisaged primarily for use on advanced high performance combat aircraft, possibly with development potential still to be realised, so that the scope accorded by microprocessor-based control was not out of place and, indeed lends itself to the introduction of more advanced life support systems. However, with the potential use of molecular sieve type gas separation systems in more cost-conscious aircraft such as trainers, the emphasis is now on the attraction of minimal ground servicing.
According to the present invention a molecular sieve type gas separation system adapted to deliver oxygen-enriched air to an outlet by decreasing the non-oxygen content of air fed to the system, comprising at least one sieve bed and control means for cyclically subjecting said bed to a charge/adsorption on-stream phase followed by a purge/desorption regeneration phase is characterised in that said control means provide that during said regeneration phase the gas pressure in said bed at least substantially equals the ambient atmospheric pressure or a pressure related thereto and that for a predetermined range of ambient atmospheric pressure the overall cycle time and the relative durations of said phases are fixed at values such that the oxygen content of the oxygen-enriched air delivered to said outlet remains within physiologically acceptable limits for breathing.
In application of a system in accordance with the present invention to an aircraft for supplying oxygen-enriched air to aircrew, the outlet will generally comprise one or more oral-nasal breathing masks.
In the regeneration phase it is preferable for obtaining best efficiency that the bed be opened to the lowest available pressure which in the aircraft application will be ambient atmospheric pressure; however, the bed may be opened to cabin pressure which is directly related to ambient atmospheric pressure.
Preferably, the control means set the cycle time and/or the phase relative durations at different values for respectively different ranges of outlet ambient pressure.
The control means may comprise a fixed logic sequencer controlling the sequential operation of charge and vent valves associated with the bed, and may further include transducer means responsive to outlet ambient pressure for selectively associating said fixed logic elements with said charge and vent valves in accordance with the ambient pressure of the outlet.
Within at least one predetermined range of outlet ambient pressure, the control means may provide phase relative durations in the ratio of 2:1 in favour of the charge/adsorption phase. The control means may reduce the cycle time in steps as the outlet ambient pressure reduces.
The invention will now be further described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which,
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a molecular sieve gas separation system, including three beds, suitable for aircraft applications;
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the operating sequence of the principal valves of the system shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a graph showing the band of oxygen concentration available from two particular grades of molecular sieve material and the band for the physiological requirement for oxygen, from ground level to 10,000 meters altitude;
FIG. 4 is a graph showing an acceptable band of oxygen concentration against the physiological requirement for oxygen from ground level to 8,500 meters altitude;
FIG. 4A is a histogram showing the ratio of charge period to vent period in the total cycle time for obtaining the acceptable band of oxygen concentration shown in FIG. 4;
FIG. 5 is a graph similar to FIG. 4, showing closer to optimum bands of oxygen concentration which are obtainable within bands of altitude between ground level and 10,000 meters; and
FIG. 5A is a histogram similar to FIG. 4A, showing the ratio of the charge to vent periods for the modified cycle times required to obtain the bands of oxygen concentration shown in FIG. 5.
Referring to FIG. 1, a molecular sieve gas separation system 10, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, comprises three molecular sieve beds 11, 12, 13, suitably contained and arranged to deliver product gas to a delivery line 14. The sieve beds 11, 12, 13 are arranged for receiving compressed air from a supply line 15 under the control of three similar valve arrangements 16. In this embodiment the sieve beds are suited to the adsorption of nitrogen by use of Type 5A molecular sieve material while passing oxygen so that the product gas delivered to line 14 is oxygen-enriched air having an oxygen partial pressure determined by the operation of the system as explained hereinafter.
The sieve beds 11, 12, 13 are connected to the delivery line 14 by way of pressure opening valves 17, 18, 19, respectively, and are also connected in series, one to another, by a purge loop 20. Between beds 11 and 13, in section 20a of the loop 20, is included a pressure opening valve 21 upstream of a flow regulating orifice 22; in section 20b between beds 13 and 12 a pressure opening valve 23 is positioned upstream of a flow regulating orifice 24 and, likewise, in section 20c between beds 12 and 11 a pressure opening valve 25 is positioned upstream of a flow regulating orifice 26.
Each valve arrangement 16 controls a charge inlet port and a vent port of a single sieve bed and comprises a charge valve and a vent valve of similar construction controlled by a servo valve. Thus each sieve bed 11, 12, 13 is connected to the supply line 15 via a charge valve 27, 28, 29, respectively, and to ambient atmospheric pressure or to an ambient pressure directly related thereto via a vent valve 30, 31, 32, respectively.
The servo chambers of each pair of charge and vent valves 27/30, 28/31 and 29/32, are connected to the supply line 15 and also to a servo valve comprising for each respective pair of charge and vent valves, a solenoid operated bleed switching valve, 33, 34, 35, respectively. Each switching valve 33, 34, 35, is actuated by a fixed logic sequencer 50 having an operating ratio of 2:1. The switching valves 33, 34, 35 serve the pairs of charge and vent valves 27/30, 28/31, and 29/32, respectively, in a manner in which while a charge valve is open its companion vent valve is closed and vice versa, and the sequencer is so connected as to cause the open period of the charge valves to be twice that of the vent valves.
The cross-sectional area of the vent flow paths from the sieve beds to ambient is greater than the corresponding area of the supply air flow path into the beds.
In this embodiment it is preferred that all the pressure opening valves 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25; the charge valves 27, 28, 29; and the vent valves 30, 31, 32 are of resilient diaphragm type (not illustrated structurally).
The charge and the vent valves are arranged for their diaphragms to be pressure closed upon their valve seats by supply pressure fed to their servo chambers via restricted ducts 36, 37, respectively, and for relief of these chambers via unrestricted ducts 38, 39, respectively. The pressure opening valves 17, 18, 19 and 21, 23, 25 utilise perforated diaphragms urged to close upon their seats against upstream pressure with a predetermined force applied by a compression spring, which in this embodiment is equivalent to, say, 69 kPa (10 psi) in respect of the purge loop valves 21, 23, 25, and 14 kPa (2 psi) in respect of the product delivery line valves 17, 18, 19.
Whilst the sieve beds 11, 12, 13 may be of any profile and form which is suitable to the system and an available space envelope, in this embodiment the sieve bed container comprises a tube 43 having one end closed by a semi-spherical wall 44 and the opposite end secured to a base plate 46. The container is divided internally by a diametrical wall 45 extending from the base plate 46 to terminate short of the semi-spherical wall 44. The base plate 46 is provided with a charge inlet port and a vent port positioned at one side of the dividing wall 45, and a purge loop connection and a delivery line connection positioned at the other side of the dividing wall.
In the aircraft application, the system delivers oxygen-enriched air as breathable gas to aircrew usually by way of oral-nasal breathing masks. Supply air is obtained from an engine source 40 of the aircraft and fed into the supply line 15 to the sieve beds by way of a filter 41 disposed upstream of a suitable pressure control valve 42 which, for example, may be set to open to a source pressure of 276 kPa (40 psi) and control at 310 kPa (45 psig). The delivery line 14 feeds to an oral-nasal breathing mask (not shown) by way of a demand type breathable gas regulator of suitable form (not shown), upstream of which is a standby pressurised breathable gas source (not shown), such as an oxygen cylinder for providing 100% oxygen deliverable to the regulator in conditions of low supply-air pressure, low cabin pressure or low concentration (partial pressure) of oxygen in the product gas delivered from the molecular sieve beds. The standby gas source may be activated by any suitable monitor/activator system.
In operation, a desired concentration (partial pressure) of oxygen in the delivered product gas, such as to provide, say, the equivalent of air at an altitude of 1,500 meters (5,000 feet) is maintained by control of the regeneration of the molecular sieve beds. In this connection it should be noted that in operation of a sieve bed, such as one of the beds 11, 12, 13, optimum gas separation efficiency is obtained when the bed is in a fully purged nitrogen-free condition. As the bed becomes progressively saturated with retained nitrogen, its separating efficiency declines.
In prior art gas separation systems a molecular sieve bed is placed on-stream cyclically and into regeneration in accordance with a schedule that provides for full purging of the bed material at each regeneration, and subsequent retention of the bed on-stream only for so long as it is delivering oxygen of the maximum practical purity. Thus, in such a system full regeneration is routinely effected before the separating efficiency of the bed material has significantly declined as a result of nitrogen saturation.
However, in gas separation systems embodying the present invention, and as in the systems disclosed in our aforementioned EP-A-0,046,369, the bed is continually operated in a partially saturated condition so as to deliver air enriched with oxygen to a desired partial pressure. This is accomplished by restricting purging of the bed so as not to fully cleanse it at each regeneration. In the system disclosed in our aforementioned EP-A-0,046,369, restriction of bed purging is controlled according to various parameters pertaining to the physiological well-being of the aircrew, which parameters are continuously monitored and acted upon in appropriate manner such as through a microprocessor.
In contradistinction, whilst the sieve beds in the system in accordance with the present invention are continually operated in a partially saturated condition so as to deliver air enriched with oxygen to a desired partial pressure, this is achieved by control means without use of a feed-back control loop. The control means cyclically subjects each bed to a charge/adsorption on-stream phase followed by a purge/desorption regeneration phase and provides that during the regeneration phase the gas pressure in the bed at least substantially equals the ambient atmospheric pressure of the aircraft or, alternatively, the cabin ambient pressure, and that for a predetermined range of cabin ambient pressures the overall cycle time and the relative durations of the phases are fixed at values such that the oxygen content of air delivered to the cabin remains within physiologically acceptable limits for breathing by an occupant of the cabin.
To obtain most efficient working of the beds their pressure should be reduced during the regeneration phase to the lowest available pressure. Thus it will be preferable to vent the beds overboard to the ambient atmosphere of the aircraft. However, they may be vented to the aircraft cabin, the cabin ambient pressure being directly related to ambient atmospheric pressure.
In the illustrated embodiment, the beds 11, 12, 13 are placed on-stream and regenerated in alternating and overlapping sequence by operation of the valve arrangements 16 in which the solenoid operated switching valves 33, 34, 35 are controlled by the fixed logic sequencer 50 alternately to open and close the charge and vent ports of their respective beds by alternate connection of the servo chamber of the charge valves 27, 28, 29 and vent valves 31, 32, 33 to ambient. As previously stated, the sequencer is arranged to control the charge and vent valves such that the former are open for twice the period of time of the latter. Regulation of the purging phase of each bed and the delivery of product gas therefrom is automatically achieved by means of the pressure opening valves 21, 23, 25 and 17, 18, 19, respectively.
The time of opening of all the valves and the overlapping relationship of the three beds is best understood with reference to FIG. 2. With the opening of the charge valve 27 of, nominally, the first bed 11 in sequence, when the switching valve 33 is holding servo pressure in the vent valve 30 and releasing it from the charge valve 27, supply air is fed into the bed wherein nitrogen is adsorbed by the molecular sieve material and oxygen-enriched air is passed into the delivery line 14 on opening of the valve 17. At the end of the period of charging and delivering product gas, that is two thirds of the way through the sequence, the switching valve 33 is reversed to close the charge valve 27 and open the vent valve 30, whereupon the bed 11 becomes open to ambient and discharges thereinto so commencing desorption of nitrogen from the sieve material while reducing the pressure in the bed 11 and in that part of section 20c of the purge loop 20 which is downstream of the valve 25. Upon the pressure difference across the valve 25 rising above the closing load, initial stage product gas from the overlapping, sequentially second, bed 12 flows into bed 11 to purge it clean.
Thus compressed supply air is admitted cyclically to the beds 11, 12, 13 by way of the respective sequencer controlled valve arrangements 16 and when a bed is on-stream, oxygen-enriched air flows from the bed into the delivery line, but shortly after switching of the charge and vent valves to opposite mode the bed is purged by new product gas from one of the other beds coming on-stream. Thus bed 11 purges bed 13, bed 12 purges bed 11 and bed 13 purges bed 12. Evenness of flow is not lost during the withdrawal of some product gas from one bed for the purpose of purging another bed because the third bed still continues to deliver product gas during this period.
Variation in the partial pressure of oxygen in the oxygen-enriched air occurs with change in pressure of the ambient condition to which the bed is vented so that the concentration of oxygen increases with reducing ambient pressure owing to the rate of desorption of nitrogen from the sieve material increasing. Thus variation in the concentration of oxygen in the product gas automatically remains satisfactory for most presently known operational requirements up to a cabin altitude (pressure) of 6,000 meters (20,000 feet).
In investigating various types of molecular sieve material we have also found that use can be made of the fact that the ability of a sieve bed to adsorb nitrogen varies according to the molecular sieve material. For example, a medical grade Type 5A sieve material is appreciably more efficient than a commercial grade Type 5A sieve material so that at lower altitudes greater degradation of a bed containing medical grade material is required in order to obtain an oxygen concentration in the product gas appropriate to the pertaining altitude than is required of a bed containing commercial grade material. FIG. 3 is a graph which plots percentage concentration of oxygen against altitude and shows a band, reference MG, of concentration of oxygen available from a medical grade material, a band, reference CG, of concentration of oxygen available from a commercial grade material, and a band, reference PR, of the physiological requirement for oxygen from ground level to 10,000 meters (33,000 feet) cabin altitude.
Thus, we have found that by selection of a suitable molecular sieve material and a suitable fixed cycle time it is possible to provide a simple system which will produce an acceptable, although less than optimum, oxygen concentration over a range of altitude. This can be seen in the graph of FIG. 4 which shows a representative acceptable band of concentration of oxygen, reference AC, and the band for the physiological requirement for oxygen, reference PR, from ground level to approximately 8,500 meters (28,000 feet) cabin altitude. FIG. 4A is a histogram showing that for a fixed cycle time T the charge period is twice that of the vent period.
We have found that an improvement over this acceptable, although less than optimum, band of concentration of oxygen can be made if the selected sieve material is of medical grade and if the cycle time of the bed is sequentially reduced with increasing altitude. Two sequential reductions in bed cycle time are shown in the histogram of FIG. 5A and reference to the graph shown in FIG. 5 illustrates that these reductions introduced at cabin altitude thresholds of 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) and 6,700 meters (22,000 feet) give three different bands of oxygen concentration in the product gas for three bands of altitude. In the two lower altitude bands the oxygen concentration bands, references A and B, are closer to the corresponding mean of the band for physiological requirement, reference PR, whilst at altitudes above 6,700 meters (22,000 feet) the band of oxygen concentration, reference C, is maintained substantially at the highest enrichment level obtainable from a molecular sieve oxygen generator system, i.e. in the order of 94 to 95 percent. In the lower region of the altitude band 3,000 to 6,700 meters, the oxygen concentration is greater than is physiologically necessary, but this is not medically detrimental. However, if desired one or more additional thresholds may be introduced and so provide bands that obtain more closely to the physiological requirement. The different thresholds can be effected by pressure transducer means, for example an altitude switch, arranged to modify the output signal of the sequencer to reduce the cycle time in each ascending altitude band.

What You Have to Know About the Foreclosure Process There are so many of us who fail to pay for our mortgage payments and there are different reasons behind this. One of these is when there is a foreclosure on the property. There are a lot of us who really don't have any idea to what it actually is and how it can affect us. If you are among these people, there is nothing that you have to worry about anymore because you are in the right place. Here in this article, you will learn everything you need to know about the foreclosure process. A foreclosure occurs when a bank or a lender seizes ownership of a property because the owner was not able to pay up the borrowed amount. The process begins when the lender files a notice of default on public record following the failure of the owner to make the necessary payments. The whole foreclosure process can end in four ways. First, the owner can reinstate the loan by paying it off within the grace period given. The grace period was determined according to the set of laws that govern the loan. The grace period is also termed as the pre-foreclosure period. As the borrower, you can also sell the said property during the pre-foreclosure or grace period. This will then prevent the foreclosure process from going any further because the borrower was able to pay off the loan using the money acquired from selling the property. This can be very beneficial because it will eliminate the possibility of tainting one's credit history. The end of the pre-foreclosure will signal that your property will be put on a public auction and that will open the possibility of it being bought by a third party. However, this is one of the things that you want to avoid because it can affect your credit history quite badly. And the last possibility is something that nobody wants to happen but there are just some cases where it is the only option left to resolve the issue. It will commence when the lender takes the property and sells it in a private bid. There are also those times when it can be sold to the public. The property can be acquired by the lender if they have agreed it with the borrower or they were able to buy it back from the auction. If there are more things that you want to learn about the foreclosure process and how to avoid it, you should read on the several online articles that are made available for you.
