This allows aviators to learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of hypoxia without being subjected to an actual change in altitude in a pressure chamber. In order to further test the effect of local curvature on the transition of the pressure chamber to the cuff-model interface, we deformed a cylindrical 100-mm-diameter tube so as to obtain an ellipsoidal model with a 112-mm long axis and an 86-mm short axis. The pressure chamber is sealed by the intermeshing gearing and the screw flight. |
