There was, however, some suggestion that post dive fatigue is due to sub-clinical decompression sickness ( DCS ) ( i. e. micro bubbles in the blood insufficient to cause symptoms of DCS ); the fact that the study mentioned was conducted in a dry chamber with an ideal decompression profile may have been sufficient to reduce sub-clinical DCS and prevent fatigue in both nitrox and air divers.

Safety conditions were also a major factor with the installation of a decompression chamber on site, along with a diving bell and a safety diver for each actor.

The decompression chamber was one of the only sets constructed for the film and as of 2009, it is still intact in the basement of building number 225 of the Fort Worden State Park.

So many visitors are divers that there is even a hyperbaric decompression chamber on the island, despite its small population.

The chamber pressure was measured by a bourdon tube, calibrated to indicate decompression status.

The chamber cures decompression sickness and gas embolism by increasing pressure, reducing the size of the gas bubbles and improving the transport of blood to downstream tissues.

By making the single decompression slower and longer, in the relative comfort of the saturation habitat or decompression chamber, the risk of decompression sickness during the single exposure is further reduced.

The " Saturation System " typically comprises either an underwater habitat or a surface complex made up of a living chamber, transfer chamber and submersible decompression chamber, which is commonly referred to in commercial diving and military diving as the diving bell, PTC ( Personnel Transfer Capsule ) or SDC ( Submersible Decompression Chamber ).

Where is the closest decompression chamber?

Recompression in a hyperbaric chamber with the patient breathing 100 % oxygen is the standard hospital and military medical response to decompression illness.

If the dive is relatively short ( a bounce dive ), decompression can be done in the bell in exactly the same way it would be done in the chamber.

Locking onto a decompression chamber at the surface is possible either from the bottom or the side.

Commercial diving operators now generally use a closed bell in conjunction with a surface hyperbaric chamber, These have safety and ergonomic advantages and allow decompression to be carried out after the bell has been raised to the surface and back on board the diving support vessel.

The diving bell would be connected via the mating flange of an airlock to the deck decompression chamber or saturation system for transfer under pressure of the occupants.

On August 28, 1962, at Villefranche-sur-Mer on the Mediterranean Sea, Link inaugurated his " Man in Sea " project by spending eight hours at a depth of sixty feet in his submersible decompression chamber ( SDC ), becoming the first diver to be completely saturated with a mixture of oxygen and helium ( Heliox ) while breathing underwater.

Afterward, while in a surface decompression chamber, the three survivors ponder what to tell the Navy about what happened.

Duke was also used so that Thompson could talk about himself-after a diving accident Thompson had to spend some time in a decompression chamber, and wrote a letter signed ' Raoul Duke ' in which the pseudonym described the insanity of Thompson's condition in the chamber-holding up scrawled notes to the single glass window and ordering a television set to watch coverage of the Watergate hearings.

** Decompression chamber, a pressurizable chamber used to prevent decompression sickness

* 1908: # Arthur Boycott, Guybon Damant, and John Haldane publish " The Prevention of Compressed-Air Illness ", detailed studies on the cause and symptoms of decompression sickness, and propose a table of decompression stops to avoid the effects.

* 1912: # US Navy adopts the decompression tables published by Haldane, Boycott and Damant.

Driven by Chief Gunner George Stillson, the navy sets up a program to test tables and staged decompression based on the work of Haldane.

Dr. Jaminet himself suffered a case of decompression sickness when he ascended to the surface in four minutes after spending almost three hours at a depth of 95 feet in a caisson, and his description of his own experience was the first such recorded.

The aircraft suffered an explosive decompression from an incorrectly repaired aft pressure bulkhead, which failed in mid flight and destroyed most of its vertical stabilizer, and severed all of the hydraulic lines, making the 747 virtually uncontrollable.

* Aloha Airlines Flight 243 suffered a decompression which tore an section of fuselage away from the plane.

* 24 February 1989-United Airlines Flight 811, a United Airlines 747 flight from Honolulu, Hawaii, suffered explosive decompression, killing nine.

The aircraft suffered extensive damage after an explosive decompression in flight, but was able to land safely at Kahului Airport on Maui.

However, he never suffered a classic case of decompression sickness in his career.

* The 1988 Aloha Airlines Flight 243 suffered an explosive decompression due to fatigue failure.

As the aircraft reached its cruising altitude of 24, 000 feet, the roof of the cabin forward of the wings suffered an explosive decompression incident, which tore most of the roof off and swept Clarabelle Lansing, the chief flight attendant, out of the aircraft to her death.

The shorter runway 25 is also later inadequate to land the returning airplane, which has suffered major structural and mechanical damage due to explosive decompression caused by the detonation of the bomb brought on board.

On 4 April a C-5A aircraft carrying 250 Vietnamese orphans and their escorts suffered explosive decompression over the sea near Vung Tau and made a crash-landing while attempting to return to Tan Son Nhut ; 153 died in the crash.

* Far Eastern Air Transport Flight 103 suffered an explosive decompression at an altitude of 22, 000 feet over the Taiwanese village of Sanyi, Miaoli, killing all 110 persons on board.

Only in Israel decompression is used on all luggage to check for pressure sensor detonators.

This would have left a steep cliff, the bottom of which would be protected, because the limestone of the Cathedral Formation is difficult to compress, from tectonic decompression.

On decompression, the Y ' CbCr space is rotated back to RGB.

Because compressed data must be decompressed to be used, this extra processing imposes computational or other costs through decompression, this situation is far from being a free lunch.

DEFLATE is a variation on LZ which is optimized for decompression speed and compression ratio, but compression can be slow.

The process is reversed upon decompression.

As in all lossy compression, there is a tradeoff between video quality, cost of processing the compression and decompression, and system requirements.

The most common use of nitrox mixtures containing higher than normal levels of oxygen is in scuba, where the reduced percentage of nitrogen is advantageous in reducing nitrogen uptake in the body's tissues and so extending the possible dive time, and / or reducing the risk of decompression sickness ( also known as the bends ).

Nitrox is not a safer gas than compressed air in all respects ; although its use can reduce the risk of decompression sickness, it increases the risk of oxygen toxicity and fire, which are further discussed below.

gzip is a software application used for file compression and decompression.

This lets them stay underwater longer for the same decompression requirement as for air, because less nitrogen is absorbed into the body's tissues.

A consequence of the higher loading in some tissues is that many decompression algorithms require deeper decompression stops than a similar decompression dive using air, and helium is more likely to come out of solution and cause decompression sickness following a fast ascent.

A maximum oxygen partial pressure of 1. 4 bar for the active sectors of the dive, and 1. 6 bar for decompression stops is recommended by several recreational and technical diving certification agencies for open circuit, and 1. 2 bar or 1. 3 bar as maximum for the active sectors of a dive on closed circuit rebreather.

Further, if " full-flush " points are written to the compressed stream, then corrupt data can be skipped, and the decompression will resynchronise at the next flush point-although no error recovery of the corrupt data is provided.
