Publication number: 20210252246Abstract: The present invention includes a device for hypoxia training including a breathable gas source; a mask in fluid communication with the breathable gas source; a mask-state detector that uses one or more criteria to determine if the mask is being worn by a subject, wherein the mask-state detector is capable of communicating an indication of a mask-off state or a mask-on state; a flowmeter in fluid communication with the mask and coupled to the mask-state detector; and a pressure regulator in fluid communication with the mask and with the breathable gas source, and coupled to the mask-state detector, wherein the pressure regulator sets a first pressure at the mask when the mask-state detector communicates an indication of a mask-off state or a second pressure at the mask when the mask-state detector communicates an indication of a mask-on state.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2021Publication date: August 19, 2021Inventors: Jonathan Reeh, Mahesh Waje, Mehmet Kesmez, Carlos Salinas, Jibi Varughese, John Zbranek, Seth Cocking, Ashwin Balasubramanian, Cory Teurman, James Netherland, Geoffrey Duncan Hitchens

Publication number: 20130164652Abstract: Novel proton exchange membrane fuel cells and direct methanol fuel cells with nanostructured components are configured with higher precious metal utilization rate at the electrodes, higher power density, and lower cost. To form a catalyst, platinum or platinum-ruthenium nanoparticles are deposited onto carbon-based materials, for example, single-walled, dual-walled, multi-walled and cup-stacked carbon nanotubes. The deposition process includes an ethylene glycol reduction method. Aligned arrays of these carbon nanomaterials are prepared by filtering the nanomaterials with ethanol. A membrane electrode assembly is formed by sandwiching the catalyst between a proton exchange membrane and a diffusion layer that form a first electrode. The second electrode may be formed using a conventional catalyst. The several layers of the MEA are hot pressed to form an integrated unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2012Publication date: June 27, 2013Applicant: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Yushan Yan, Xin Wang, Wenzhen Li, Mahesh Waje, Zhongwei Chen, William Goddard, Wei-Qiao Deng
