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.

New enviromental friendly method for the catalytic reduction of sulfoxides using poliols (pinacol or glycerol) as reducing agentsThe present technology relates to a new general procedure for the reduction of sulfoxides to sulfides using [MoO2Cl2(dmf)2] as catalyst and poliols (pinacol or glycerol) as reducing agent. The products are obtained in excellent yields. It is worth to note that this new procedure uses an easily available and non-toxic reducing agent, that generates non-toxic byproducts which are easily separated from the sufide synthesized.

New procedure for the aerobic oxidation of a sulfoxide group to a sulfone with significant improvements in its use and storageA new procedure for the oxidation of a sulfoxide group to a sulfone group has been patented. This new process consists in the oxidation of the sulfoxide with air in the presence of a molibdenum compound as catalyst, preferentially dioxomolibdenum (VI) bis(acetilacetonate) or dinuclear derivatives coming from its partial hydrolisis.

Fluorometric sensor based on a polymeric material, for the “in situ” detection and quantification of anions, principally chloride, in industrial water, potable water and/or sweat.The method developed in this patent is based on the preparation of new polymeric materials, which act as fluorometric sensors, for anions and, especially, for chlorides, in aqueous solution, for example in industrial water, potable water and/or sweat. The detection of chlorides is very important both for the pre-diagnosis of diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, and for the water quality control.
