Absorbent product to absorb fluids

A multi-layer absorbent product for use in contact with the skin to absorb fluids is discussed. The product utilizes a water pervious facing layer for contacting the skin, overlayed by a first fibrous wicking layer, the wicking layer preferably being of the one-way variety in which fluid or liquid is moved away from the facing layer. The product further includes a first container section defined by inner and outer layer of a water pervious wicking material between which is disposed a first absorbent mass. A second container section defined by inner and outer layers between which is disposed a second absorbent mass and a liquid impermeable/gas permeable layer. Spacesuit applications are discussed.

Absorbent product and articles made therefrom

A multilayer absorbent product for use in contact with the skin to absorb fluids is described. The product has a water pervious facing layer for contacting the skin, and a first fibrous wicking layer overlaying the water pervious layer. A first container section is defined by inner and outer layers of a water pervious wicking material in between a first absorbent mass and a second container section defined by inner and outer layers of a water pervious wicking material between what is disposed a second absorbent mass, and a liquid impermeable/gas permeable layer overlaying the second fibrous wicking layer.

Evolution of the Shuttle extravehicular mobility unit

This paper deals briefly with the emergence of space suits as an important factor in supporting space missions but focuses mainly on the conceptual design of the Shuttle EMU (extravehicular mobility unit). Factors covering the criteria for the design approach are discussed. Several of the more specific subjects concerning the configuration selected are stressed; the EMU operating pressure, simplicity in don/doff, male/female sizing, components' useful life and the complexity surrounding the support of multi-year missions throughout the Shuttle program duration. In addition, comparisons with past EMU programs are made including a detailed discussion of how the Shuttle application and requirements drove and made this configuration a significant departure from previous EMU systems.

Skylab Medical Experiments Altitude Test /SMEAT/ facility design and operation.

This paper presents the design approaches and test facility operation methods used to successfully accomplish a 56-day test for Skylab to permit evaluation of selected Skylab medical experiments in a ground test simulation of the Skylab environment with an astronaut crew. The systems designed for this test include the two-gas environmental control system, the fire suppression and detection system, equipment transfer lock, ground support equipment, safety systems, potable water system, waste management system, lighting and power system, television monitoring, communications and recreation systems, and food freezer.
