Summary of the technology
The present invention relates to an inflatable rescue device for people, and method of use thereof, which can be used to evacuate the staff of high buildings in emergency situations, as it could be a fire , danger of imminent collapse, or other situations that prevent or advise the non- evacuation through the interior of the building.
New and innovative aspects
Currently existing devices for emergency evacuation in buildings mainly include controlled descent devices, escape chutes and different parachute systems, the latter based on the resistance that its components offer to air.
The innovative aspect of this life-saving device is in its design that uses an inflatable system based primarily on aerodynamic drag forces. The inflation gas is nitrogen which density is somewhat lower than air, so that the flotation effect is very small.Main advantages of its use
Main advantages of its use
- Can be used by adults. If there are children or elderly disabled, the device can be used in tandem accompanied by another person with normal faculties.
- It allows a controlled descent.
- It does not require that the user have prior knowledge as in the case of parachute, or make any control on the device.
- Its use does not require excessive high buildings.
Specifications
The device takes the form of hollow bell and the shape is achieved by the swelling inside with nitrogen from the ignition of pyrotechnic cartridges sodium azide, located in the backpack.
Due to the fact that the space is not empty, but is filled with air, it will present a resistance to be crossed, which causes the falling speed reaches a value of dynamic equilibrium between forces of Earth's gravity, aerodynamics resistence forces and buoyancy forces by density difference with air.
Applications
Device that can be part of the security system and evacuation of buildings in case of emergency. It could also be used for recreational and sporting purposes.

Solid sensory film for in situ detection and quantification of Iron, Aluminium and MercuryThe development of simple, fast and inexpensive colorimetric sensors for timeless and in-situ detection of trace amounts of iron, aluminium and mercury in aqueous media by non-specialized personnel has become a major challenge, mainly because the presence or absence of these compounds can lead to a number of problems, e.g., contamination issues. As a result of the above described requirements, a new low cost polymer material has been developed and patented for the rapid visual colorimetric detection and quantification of iron, aluminium and mercury. A precise quantification of the species can be done in minutes using a picture taken with the camera of a mobile phone, and a broad quantification can be visually achieved.
