Abstract: A face mask assembly (FMA) for supplying breathable gas to a wearer. The face mask assembly (FMA) includes a mask frame including a support, a facial cushion attached to the mask frame, and a forehead support. The forehead support includes a forehead cushion assembly and an adjustment knob operatively coupled to the forehead cushion assembly. The adjustment knob is threadably engaged with the forehead cushion assembly such that turning movement of the adjustment knob causes the mask frame to be moved between retracted and extended positions with respect to the forehead cushion assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aquaculture basket (10) including a top basket part (20), a bottom basket part (30) and at least one door (40). The top and bottom basket pans (20, 30) include connection means (22, 24) for connecting the top and bottom basket parts (20, 30) together. The top and bottom basket parts (20, 30) are interchangeable so as to reduce manufacture costs and to make assembly of the basket (10) easier. The top basket part (10), bottom basket part (20) and the at least one door (40) form an enclosure for housing an aquaculture product. The basket (10) typically includes a door (40) at either end of the basket (10). The top and bottom basket parts (20, 30) are typically identical in construction. The invention also relates to an aquaculture basket attachment system. The attachment system including a connection area (32) integrally formed with or connectable to the basket (10) and a connection member (50) arranged for attachment to the connection area (32).

Abstract: The present invention relates to protective barrier (100, 102, 120, 140, 160, 180, 300) for protecting structural columns, wall or other projecting elements that may be subject to inadvertent impact. The protective barrier (100, 102, 120, 140, 160, 180, 300) in one form of the invention includes a plurality of protection blocks (10) and a plurality of locating pins (50). Each protection block (10) includes a bumper surface (14) for receiving impact forces, an elongate structure positioning surface (17) arranged in use to be positioned substantially against or adjacent to a border defined by a structure to be protected and at least two locating apertures (20).

Abstract: The invention relates to a protecting apparatus (10) for protecting a structure (100) from an impact. The protecting apparatus (10) is arranged to be mounted on the structure (100) and includes a bumper member (12), a structure positioning member (14) and at least one resiliently flexible joining portion (16). The structure positioning member (14) is arranged in use to be positioned in contact with or adjacent to a portion of the structure (100) being protected. The at least one resiliently flexible joining portion (16) extends between the bumper member (12) and the structure positioning member (14) so that when an outer surface (12a) of the bumper member (12) is impacted, the impact force is dissipated at least in part by flexure of the at least one joining portion (16).

Abstract: A respiratory mask, a mould for a respiratory mask, as well as to a method for producing a respiratory mask are disclosed, in which manufacturability and usability of respiratory masks are improved. A respiratory mask is disclosed for administering a breathable gas to a patient, the respiratory mask comprising a first component formed from a flexible material and a second component formed from a material that is more rigid than the flexible material, wherein the first component is formed onto the second component by an overmoulding process.
