Abstract: A snorkel device for breathing under the surface of water which will allow both inhaling and exhaling of air underwater. A multiplicity of water impermeable tubes, permeable to dissolved or gaseous oxygen, allow underwater passage of oxygen into the snorkel. Preferred tube material is porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.

Abstract: An improved, highly flexible flat multi-conductor electrical cable is provided, useful for example in robots wherein such cables may be flexed many times, comprising a plurality of conductor assemblies held in parallel relationship between layers of insulating coverings, the improvement comprising conductor assemblies having an elongate, non-conductive center core filament helically overwrapped along its longitudinal dimension by a first conductor in foil or tape form, such as copper foil, this first tape conductor having an outer covering of a conductive, low-friction material, the conductive covering being helically overwrapped along its longitudinal dimension by a second conductor in foil or tape form, such as copper foil, the second foil conductor being wrapped in a lay opposite to that of the first conductor, i.e. if one foil conductor is "S" wrapped, the other foil conductor is "Z" wrapped.
