Helium is extensively used for filling balloons as it is a much safer gas than hydrogen. One of the recent largest uses for helium has been for pressuring liquid fuel rockets. A Saturn booster, like the type used on the Apollo lunar missions, required about 13 million fts of helium for a firing, plus more for checkouts.

Do everything else the same except let the solution stir in the O atmosphere for 72 hours. You ll need to check the balloon every 12 hours or so. Replace as needed (when it starts to sag). The... 

Now here is a post from a very influential chemist named Spice-boy who has contributed quite a bit to this science (hypothetically of course). She decided to go ahead and apply the idea of using benzoquinone as the oxygen source. If this works it would mean that one would not have to use a balloon of O2 at all. thus making the entire apparatus much more simpler and causing an increase in the efficiency of oxygen uptake and transfer by the system. So let s see what Spiceboy dreamt might happen if this were actually applied ... 

That looks great, Spiceboy. Thanks. Bra And to show you that Spiceboy isn t making this up, the following experimental will prove it. This was taken from the review [13] written by the same doctor that authored the progenitor PdCb article that Strike drew from to formulate this recipe, And just as Spiceboy says above, there is no need for any copper compound or balloon. Also, the reaction time is seriously shorter and the amount of PdCI2 catalyst needed is drastically reduced ... 

As the demand for rubber increased so did the chemical industry s efforts to prepare a synthetic sub stitute One of the first elastomers (a synthetic poly mer that possesses elasticity) to find a commercial niche was neoprene discovered by chemists at Du Pont in 1931 Neoprene is produced by free radical polymerization of 2 chloro 1 3 butadiene and has the greatest variety of applications of any elastomer Some uses include electrical insulation conveyer belts hoses and weather balloons...

Economic Aspects. The cardiovascular devices market is estimated to be approximately 2.9 biUion annually on a worldwide basis. This market can be further segmented as follows angiography and angioplasty, 644 x 10 arrhythmia control, 1500 x 10 cardiovascular surgery, 700 x 10 cardiac assist (intra-aortic balloon pump), 80 x 10 and artificial hearts, which are experimental. 

Other efforts have led to the development of ventricular assist devices to support the heart for several months and intra-aortic balloon pumps (lABPs) which are widely used to unload and stabilize the heart. 

Laser ablation systems hold considerable promise if restenosis (reblocking of the arteries) rates are reduced. The rate as of 1995 is 30%, typically within six months. Mechanical or atherectomy devices to cut, shave, or pulverize plaque have been tested extensively in coronary arteries. Some of these have also been approved for peripheral use. The future of angioplasty, beyond the tremendous success of conventional balloon catheters, depends on approaches that can reduce restenosis rates. For example, if appHcation of a dmg to the lesion site turns out to be the solution to restenosis, balloon catheters would be used for both dilating the vessel and deUvering the dmg. An understanding of what happens to the arterial walls, at the cellular level, when these walls are subjected to the various types of angioplasty may need to come first. 

Ca.rdia.c-AssistDevices. The principal cardiac-assist device, the intra-aortic balloon pump (lABP), is used primarily to support patients before or after open-heart surgery, or patients who go into cardiogenic shock. As of the mid-1990s, the lABP was being used more often to stabilize heart attack victims, especially in community hospitals which do not provide open-heart surgery. The procedure consists of a balloon catheter inserted into the aorta which expands and contracts to assist blood flow into the circulatory system and to reduce the heart s workload by about 20%. The disposable balloon is powered by an external pump console. 

In addition to the soHd form of natural mbber it is available as a soHd suspended in water, known as latex. Synthetic mbbers are also available in latex form. Latex has become an important commodity used in the manufacture of dipped goods for health and disease protection. The principal uses of natural mbber are as follows tires and retreading, 70% latex (gloves, balloons), 12% mechanical goods, 9% load-bearing components, 4% and other, 5%.
