koch personally tested 150 varieties of beer glass before turning to cambridge - based tiax laboratories to quantify the optimal lager - delivery system. founded in 2002, tiax absorbed the remnants of arthur d. little inc. , a firm famous for its consumer - product research, after the latter folded. its sensory team has been around since the 1940s, says tiax technology marketer jonaki egenolf, and has worked with beer - making clients in the past, although mostly from a packaging standpoint .
edit: yes, i believe there was real science behind the development of the glass, but as drtth noted above, you would need the report from tiax .
excuse... the mighty tiax... while he catches his... his breath... he will rule... later .
tiax is a leading resource for hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, with members of its staff having completed much of the pioneering work in fuel processing technologies in the 1990s. tiax continues to be heavily involved in design, modeling, and cost assessment of hydrogen and fuel cell systems for numerous applications and has extensive capabilities in enabling and competitive technologies .
when the protagonist arrived in spellhold, tiax and the other inmates were released (he professed to only vaguely remember the protagonist) in order to help attack the more powerful irenicus. tiax was killed in the ensuing spell battle, his dying words claiming that death was but a minor inconvenience to his plans for ruling all. [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
the current embodiment of the ensemble is tiax’s integrated air crew ensemble (iae) for the u. s. air force for use in jets as well as helicopters. as the prime contractor for the iae program, tiax coordinates the development, field testing and initial production of this very large multi - year program. diverse additional embodiments are under development .
“i wanted this to be rooted in science, ” he said. he turned to tiax, a boston - area company that’s been combining technology and sensory testing since the 1920s .

eh... it would appear that... the great and... mighty tiax... has shrunk his undergarments... three sizes this day .
when asked about his past, tiax ignores you entirely, preferring instead to loudly proclaim what is in store for his future. he obviously worships cyric, but also seems to share a touch of his madness. tiax unquestioningly believes that he is destined to rule the world, and his fervor makes him blind to the ridiculous nature of the goal. he seems harmless enough for now .

another embodiment is torque sensing in automotive applications, which has traditional proven difficult and costly. tiax’s solution is non - intrusive, low - cost and useful in improving the fuel efficiency of cars. our torque sensor has entered field trials .
advanced tactical stirling power sources for co - generation applications – as part of this contract, tiax will adapt its existing micropower free - piston stirling generator technology to meet the electric power and heating / cooling needs of communication shelters for the army .
koch filled his office with more than 100 glasses as part of the process, but tiax used those only for reference .
that way we were able to better understand what they wanted and to correlate the sensory experience ,
egenolf said .
tiax is quite insane and lives under the delusion of grandeur. he believes he was chosen by cyric himself to rule over all and his ego far surpasses his stature or abilities. most of the time he is oblivious to anyone other than himself .
the third embodiment is our high temperature borehole sensor for use in drill - heads that might go as deep as a mile or more, where knowing the position of the drill head is critical. tiax’s borehole sensor technology is at the advanced prototype stage .
“tiax has long history of helping the u. s. armed forces create innovative solutions, from designing a better tourniquet and improving wound dressing technology to developing alternative sources of energy, ” said tiax president kenan sahin. “these new projects will provide a broad array of benefits including enhanced safety for paratroopers and improved accuracy of navigation sensors and guidance systems. we are honored to have been selected for these assignments that will have a direct and positive impact on the men and women who serve in our armed forces. ”
combining its long - standing expertise with a portfolio of functional wearable technologies for comfort, performance and safety, tiax has developed an ensemble that meets the very stringent requirements of high altitude flight pilots as well as professionals exposed to various hazardous or extreme field conditions .
in shadows of amn, tiax is in a cell in the asylum spellhold, a place where the cowled wizards keep their prisoners. he is put there because of his want for world domination as it would cause destruction if he tried. he cannot be recruited .
“we are excited about the opportunity to work with the doe on improving the path toward a hydrogen economy and we applaud the agency’s commitment to investing in this important research, ” said kenan sahin, president of tiax llc. “tiax has a long history of working with clients to speed the introduction of cleaner fuel alternatives for consumers. this doe project to determine the most efficient and cost effective method of storing hydrogen is essential to finally realizing all the benefits this clean energy has to offer, including more environmentally sound vehicles and a reduced dependence on foreign oil. ”
tiax today announced it has been selected by the department of energy (doe) to evaluate various hydrogen storage technologies being pursued by doe’s hydrogen storage centers of excellence and other developers. this project will be instrumental in helping guide doe and developers toward promising research, development, and commercialization pathways .
tiax is available from baldur' s gate chapter 5. he' s found near the flaming fist headquarters in baldur' s gate southwest at 1440, 1610. talk to him, agree to join him, he' ll then be off to conquer the world, follow him and serve him well .
wrong again, twice this time. i know the type of work done by the tiax llc laboratories and they don' t do customer survey work. as a product engineering firm they would have been engaged to develop a science based proprietary report on how the glass should be designed to achieve certain effects .
during his daily taste test - koch samples every batch of sam adams beer - he would put the beer in different glasses, and he noticed often dramatic differences. the need to
validate this scientifically
led him to tiax in cambridge, mass. , which works with food, beverage and pharmaceutical companies to create and enhance products .
tiax’s $ 1. 5 million contract is part of the doe hydrogen storage grand challenge issued in support of president bush’s hydrogen fuel initiative, which he unveiled in his 2003 state of the union address. the goal of the grand challenge is to develop effective and cost - efficient hydrogen storage options for both vehicular and off - board applications .
now samuel adams has. it sounds simpler than it turned out to be. boston beer' s brewers described what they wanted their beer to look like, smell like and taste like to a team from tiax, a boston - area company that for decades has worked with food, beverage and pharmaceutical companies to create and enhance products .
tiax spent almost three months on the project before handing over a 300 - page report .
we provided them more of a frankenstein glass ,
egenolf said .
here' s what could happen at the top, here' s what could happen in the middle, at the bottom, and what the tradeoffs would be .
headquartered in lexington, ma, tiax (www. tiaxllc. com) develops early stage technologies to be scalable, de - risked, prototyped, ip - protected for sale or license to companies. it focuses on energy efficiency, functional wearables and functional coatings. it is privately held and was founded in 2002 by dr. kenan sahin .
tiax scientists began by establishing a flavor profile for sam adams lager in both bottles and kegs. they then compared 20 to 30 glass designs on features like rim angle and top diameter. later they conducted a more in - depth study testing more than a dozen new designs before the final prototype was configured and turned over to a german glassmaker .
automatic real - time magnetometer error compensation and calibration – under this award, tiax will begin development of an automatic compensation system for magnetometers. this project will explore ways of automatically compensating for the effects of geomagnetic field fluctuations on determining heading. the resulting system could facilitate the deployment of a series of sensors without the need for periodic recalibration in a laboratory .
one important and already - commercialized embodiment of our flux sensor based platform is a heading sensor for underwater applications where gps is not available. tiax’s heading sensors are the most accurate in the world for their size and are available for sales to the general public subject to u. s. export control regulations. for more information, please refer to our pricelist .
“the quality of the advanced battery materials & design division of tiax and its great potential for impact has long been recognized by the key entities in industry and government. i am greatly excited that this division now as an independent company, camx power, is well poised to make a transformational impact. i am fully committed to enable this goal, ” concluded dr. sahin .
tiax finally gets himself locked in jail. travel to the flaming fist headquarters in baldur' s gate chapter 7 and you' ll find him in a cell northwest, he won' t be available as a companion, and most of the dialogue options you have are to mock him, he' ll fell unconscious after trying to attack you barehanded from behind the bars .
this new accelerating rate calorimeter (model arc ® 254), formerly known as tiax new arc 5000, is a specialized instrument to help industry operate safely and profitably. highly versatile, miniature chemical reactor, it measures the thermal and pressure properties of exothermic chemical reactions. the resulting information helps engineers and scientists identify potential hazards and tackle key elements of process optimization and thermal stability .
tiax has a summon ghast special ability, which is very useful against basilisks and sirines because ghasts (as undead) are immune to petrification and charm. despite its slow movement, the ghast is one of the best offensive summons, having 3 attacks per round (apr) that will paralyze opponents with successful hits unless target saves vs. death and / or cause disease unless target saves vs breath .
tiax today announced that it has been awarded five contracts to study and further develop new systems and technologies that will significantly enhance energy efficiency and improve safety for members of the u. s. armed forces. the various technologies developed under these projects will eventually be utilized in the field by the u. s. military in several areas including force provider, the u. s. army’s deployable base camp .
tiax’s analysis of on - board hydrogen storage technologies is an important first step in the research and development process of both hydrogen fueled vehicles and the infrastructure to support these vehicles. by evaluating the cost effectiveness, energy efficiency, and environmental soundness of the storage technologies and determining which areas need improvement, the doe and hydrogen storage developers will be able to focus their efforts on the most promising technologies and approaches .
i use my 16oz sa perfect pint all the time. great for stuff packaged in tall boy cans (or sprecher with their 16oz bottles). anyone know for sure what sizes are available? is it 12oz, 16oz, and 22oz? edit: yes, i believe there was real science behind the development of the glass, but as drtth noted above, you would need the report from tiax .
tiax will work with a team of industry experts to evaluate the four categories of on - board hydrogen storage – compressed hydrogen, metal hydride, carbon - based materials, and chemical hydrogen storage – on a regular basis. the team will compare the different approaches in terms of lifecycle costs, energy efficiency, and environmental impact, with the goal of helping the doe and developers identify the most promising technology options and approaches to pursue .
the netzsch analyzing & testing business unit recently announced its acquisition of the tiax accelerating rate calorimeters (arc®) and automatic pressure tracking adiabatic calorimeters (aptac™). these products will be merged with netzsch’s worldwide thermal analysis business. the new product line will be manufactured as part of the current instrument series at netzsch instruments, inc. , which is headquartered in boston, mass. , and is a subsidiary of netzsch - gerätebau gmbh in germany .
improve system efficiency for the army’s force provider – under this contract awarded by the natick soldier systems center, tiax will recommend upgrades to the power generation and electrical distribution systems of force provider, the u. s. army’s deployable base camp. this “city in a box” supports all of the necessities of life for soldiers in the field, including climate - controlled sleeping quarters, food service and dining facilities, bathrooms and showers, laundry services, medical units, and recreational facilities .
tiax put all its findings (the angle of the rim is critical; the optimal temperature for drinking sam adams lager is 46 degrees) into a 300 - page report for koch, who took it to half - a - dozen glassmakers around the world to create prototypes. the winner came from germany' s rastal, whose shapely glass features an angled lip to deliver the beer to the front of the tongue and a narrow base to reduce the heat transfer from the drinker' s hand .
enhanced automatic body protection for paratrooper landings – given the unpredictable and often hazardous nature of ground conditions, paratroopers commonly suffer injuries to the lower extremities during landings. the ankle brace currently used by paratroopers is bulky, heavy and minimally effective. as part of this contract, tiax and its uk - based partner, rfd beaufort, will develop an air - activated ankle protection device to better protect paratroopers. the device will automatically activate to absorb any ground impact and provide a safer landing for the paratrooper .
solid waste preprocessor to convert field waste into energy – typically, army base camps generate large amounts of trash – averaging three to four pounds per soldier per day – mostly related to food waste from mess hall operations. as part of this assignment, which is sponsored by the u. s. army research office, tiax will develop a solid waste preprocessor system to reduce the burden of trash waste at army base camps. this solid waste preprocessor will also supply the dried, mixed and compacted trash to a waste - to - energy conversion system that generates electricity .
while lithium - ion batteries are safe with literally billions in use, the safety bar is especially high for automotive use. “the key to achieving even higher safety is not to reduce their energy density, ” said dr. sahin. “it is better to tackle the safety assurance at the system level much like how gasoline (with a much higher energy density) is handled allowing end - users to experience the advantages of higher energy density, namely, longer runtime, higher mileage, and smaller and lighter batteries. ” he stated that tiax has been a pioneering company in the development of battery safety technologies, recognized by both the department of energy and the national transportation safety board. such technologies will enable cam - 7 based cells to meet next generation requirements cost - effectively .
“electrification of light duty vehicles has been a passion and a cause for me, ” said dr. sahin, the founder of camx power who will serve as its interim president. “since the founding of tiax in 2002, i have dedicated my time, energies and financial resources to the realization of this objective, the key to which is a low - cost lithium - ion battery that has a range of 200 miles, and the key to which is the cathode material. ” dr. sahin further stated, “if we are to effectively deal with co 2 emissions to protect our environment, we need to move co 2 from the tailpipes of vehicles to the smokestacks of power plants where it is possible to capture and contain co 2 emissions. that can only be done with the electrification of the drivetrain. ”

boston beer chairman jim koch thinks he can better the taste of beer, without touching the recipe. fortune' s matt boyle gets to the bottom of the glass .
( fortune magazine) - - most americans drink beer in v - shaped
shaker
glasses (so named because they' re shaped like a cocktail shaker), whose main attribute is durability and ease of stacking behind a bar .
but does beer really taste its best in them? that' s what boston beer (charts) founder and chairman jim koch began to wonder last year during a talk with jean - michel valette, who previously ran an arm of robert mondavi winery and now sits on koch' s board. when valette mentioned that different glasses enhance or detract from the flavor of wines, lightning struck: the same had to be true for beer .
so koch set out to build the perfect pint glass for the company' s flagship sam adams boston lager. he began by gathering nearly 100 glasses of all shapes and sizes to study (he even brought in a few vases) .
my office looked like a pottery barn ,
he recalls .
perhaps the most interesting aspect of rastal' s design - dubbed the boston beauty - is a dime - shaped
nucleation site ,
etched by a laser at the bottom of the glass, which sends a constant stream of bubbles to the top of the glass .
his quest complete, koch ordered 500, 000 of the glasses, which his salespeople are just now taking to bars (you can buy four for $ 30 at samueladams. com). not every bar will embrace them, so coasters are included that explain why the glass is so special - and why you shouldn' t drink anything but sam adams lager from it .
so what about boston beer' s 20 other brews ?
the idea of doing 21 glasses, that' s a life' s work ,
koch says. for now, the boston beauty will have to do .
the potential applications for such precise directional information are numerous and significant: providing input to navigation systems when gps is unavailable; tracking human body motions interfacing with virtual environments; locating targets from a standoff distance; facilitating control of articulated payload systems in autonomous robotics and next - generation prosthetics; and enabling accurate mapping of the boreholes created by tracking oil and gas drillheads .
complete three - axis orientation (heading, pitch, roll), plus temperature and acceleration .
camx power will focus on licensing, customer support, and further enhancing its high energy and high power cathode material, cam - 7™ for lithium - ion batteries. it will continue the development of other cell components and expand its work on battery safety technologies. camx power will also engage in targeted services, co - development and sales and marketing partnerships .
camx power will be one of the largest independent lithium - ion battery materials and design entities in the us. its extensive and modern end - to - end development facilities include powder production ranging in scale from kilograms to tons, materials properties characterization, electrochemical characterization in coin cells and in full - sized multi - ah cells fabricated in its state - of - the - art cell prototyping facility, and safety technology development. its multi - disciplinary staff brings together deep experience and expertise in the development, scale - up, and technical marketing of advanced battery technologies .
“cam - 7 offers the highest energy and power density at the cell - level for lithium - ion batteries compared to all materials available today, ” said dr. suresh sriramulu, the company’s cto. “lithium - ion batteries with cam - 7 can be smaller, lighter and cheaper than today’s batteries. backed by a strong intellectual property portfolio, cam - 7 represents a platform technology with significant head - room for continued enhancement and customization for different applications. ”
cam - 7 has been in development for over a decade with over 250 person years with commensurate investment. the primary challenges with nickel - class materials have been resolved. it is market - ready, having already entered the sampling and qualification process. cam - 7 is well suited for the automotive market and the high end of the portable power market. cam - 7 - based lithium - ion batteries can provide the extended run time that end - users are seeking. for automotive applications, cam - 7 based batteries have the potential to meet the 200 mile range target, while being cost competitive .
cam - 7 has been scaled up to two metric tons per year in an in - house facility and then up to 50 metric tons per year in a modular plant located in rowley, ma, further expandable to 300 metric tons. “because the synthesis at the lab - scale is identical to the synthesis at the rowley plant, we can meet customer requirements rapidly and provide license holders the detailed support needed for their much larger scale production volumes, ” said boyd bucher, coo. he continued, “existing cathode plants in the us and elsewhere can produce cam - 7 with minimal adaptation, as we have demonstrated in our own plant. thus, existing producers can license cam - 7 and use camx power’s facilities to produce powder for material qualification and initial production even as the markets mature. ”
headquartered in lexington, ma, camx power (www. camxpower. com) develops and sells lithium - ion battery related technologies. camx power’s leading battery material cam - 7™ lithium - ion cathode material has been introduced to the market for transportation and portable applications. camx power is developing other advanced battery technologies including high performance electrolytes, anode materials, and battery safety technologies such as non - dissipative, active cell balancing and internal short monitoring technologies .
ajantis will eventually attack any of the evil party members, but you can call him off by controlling him to do something else .
when you return to the headquarters later in chapter 13, you' ll find clara in the same cell instead .
can' t find a community you love? create your own and start something epic .
using natural gas instead of gasoline or diesel to power vehicles is a low - cost, low - emissions solution for reducing our nation' s dependence on foreign energy sources while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions and urban smog. natural gas - powered vehicles (ngvs) in use today are helping to improve air quality by displacing petroleum - powered cars, vans, trucks and buses which contribute about three fourths of the carbon dioxide pollution found in urban areas. in 2008, use of ngvs displaced almost 300 million gallons of petroleum use in the u. s. increasing the use of natural gas, an abundant domestic resource, as a transportation fuel, is a national security imperative 70% of the oil consumed by the u. s. is imported .
aga viewpoint on natural gas as a transportation fuel - natural gas vehicles are a proven way to improve air quality, while reducing the united states dependence on foreign oil .
aga - anga comments on epa greenhouse gas proposal for trucks (january 2011): these comments urge epa to allow for the hd rule' s compliance methodology to include the upstream ghg emission benefits of natural gas .
aga - anga comments on nhtsa fuel economy standards for trucks (january 2011): these comments note that the nhtsa' s hd rule should include the ngv multiplier congress mandated for light - duty vehicles .
aga - anga comments on epa clean alternative fuel vehicle and engine conversions (july 2010): these comments support epa' s then - proposed rule to streamline the process for obtaining certifications allowing the conversion of vehicles and engines to run on natural gas .
increased national interest in the development, operation and use of compressed natural gas (cng) as an alternative vehicle fuel creates the need for an expanded cng vehicle refueling infrastructure. the drive natural gas initiative s infrastructure committee developed this primer to help those interested in pursuing cng development. drawing on the collective knowledge and experience of the members of this committee, the guide will be a helpful resource to prospective station owner / operators, fleet managers, and those involved in the conversion and maintenance of natural gas vehicles .
anyone with an interest in learning more about cng infrastructure should consider taking a look at this guide .
the natural gas fleet savings calculator is a spreadsheet based, total cost of ownership evaluation tool designed to help fleet owners conduct a preliminary analysis of the total costs associated with converting a fleet, or part of a fleet, to natural gas. it comes pre - loaded with the current numbers for natural gas vehicle availability and cost, but it is also fully customizable for fleet managers to input the parameters that best describe the kind of vehicles they use, and how they use them .
clean cities is a government - industry partnership, sponsored by the u. s. department of energy' s (doe) vehicle technologies program (vet), designed to curb the consumption of petroleum in the transportation industry. clean cities advances the use of alternative fuels and vehicles in a number of applications such as school buses, transit buses, airport vehicles, taxis and delivery fleets. the program expands key infrastructure partnerships and promotes advanced technologies to the general public .
$ 300 million in recovery act funds have been announced for the clean cities program. funding requests must be submitted by state, local government or a metropolitan transportation authority and a designated clean cities organization .

an aircrew ensemble comprising a garment (20, 21) for covering at least a part of a body of a wearer and an inflatable counter - pressure bladder (33, 41), carried by the garment (20, 21). the inflatable counter - pressure bladder (33, 41) is formed from a moisture permeable material allowing the passage therethrough of perspiration from the wearer' s body .
aircrew such as pilots wear an ensemble including a protective suit when flying in aircraft. traditionally the suit is either a single piece suit combining both jacket and trousers in a single garment or it is a two piece suit with a separate jacket and trousers .
the ensemble may include also special equipment (aircrew life support equipment - alse) that protects the wearer against the effects of g - acceleration or altitude and other potentially damaging factors. in this case, the ensemble provides an outer layer that holds and positions and restrains inflatable counter pressure bladders. these bladders can provide counter pressure to the legs when the wearer is being accelerated to reduce the effect of blood pooling in the lower limbs and / or can provide counter pressure to the chest to counteract the effect of breathing pressurised gas when at altitude. examples of this are shown in wo - a - 2007 / 111981 and in us - a - 6325754. an inflatable chest counter pressure bladder is either incorporated into a vest or a jacket type garment which is worn by the pilot over the flight suit, or the bladder is incorporated into the jacket part of the flight suit. inflatable lower g bladders are either incorporated into a lower g garment, which is typically worn over the flight suit, or the bladders are incorporated into the trouser section of the flight suit .
in some cases the bladders are made of a textile (nylon or polyester) which is coated with an air - holding layer of an air impermeable material such as synthetic rubber (e. g. neoprene) or thermo - plastic materials such as polyurethane (pu). most bladders are now made of a pu coated fabric type because pu is a thermoplastic material which can be easily welded using high frequency or radio frequency or ultrasonic welding. (materials such as neoprene need to be glued using a solvent based adhesive which is labour intensive and has health and safety problems) .
there are broadly two types of lower g bladder assemblies. first, there is a full cover bladder assembly where the inflatable area of the bladder coverage is almost all of the lower limbs and abdomen. such an inflatable bladder assembly can also be connected at ankle level to an inflatable lining of a flight boot or an inflatable sock lining the boot, or the boot can incorporate an inflatable lining. the counter pressure can be applied directly to the limbs by providing the assembly with a restraining cover with the bladder inflating underneath the restraining cover and the restraining cover allowing the expansion of the bladder only in a direction towards the limbs. secondly, there is a partial cover bladder assembly (also called a
skeletal
or
five bladder
assembly). in this case two or more bladders (up to 5) cover respective parts of the lower body and are positioned for example, over the leg bone (hence skeletal) and also have a bladder area over the abdomen. in this case, each bladder applies tension to a restraining cover of the assembly as it inflates, which in turn then applies the counter pressure to the limbs through the tensioned cover material .
such bladder assemblies can be integrated into the trousers of a suit rather than being incorporated into a separate garment, as shown in wo - a - 2007 / 111981 .
all counter pressure assembles whether jackets or vests or lower g bladder assemblies of the above types have a problem of placing an excessive thermal burden on the wearer. the full cover lower g assembly is the worst in terms of the thermal burden and also has a problem of being excessively bulky. excessive thermal burden and the consequent hyperthermia on the aircrew increases their fatigue as well as sweat loss and dehydration and reduces aircrew concentration and mission endurance. increased core temperature also reduces tolerance to the effects of g acceleration. according to the invention, there is provided an aircrew ensemble comprising a garment for covering at least a part of a body of a wearer and an inflatable counter - pressure bladder, carried by the garment, the inflatable counter - pressure bladder being formed from a moisture permeable material allowing the passage therethrough of perspiration from the wearer' s body .
figure 31 is a cross - section on the line y - y of figure 28 showing a
pass through
.
referring first to figure 1, the aircrew ensemble includes a flight suit that comprises an upper suit portion 20 and lower suit portion 21. the upper suit portion 20 and the lower suit portion 21 are preferably made from an inherently fireproof fabric such as nomex ®. the upper suit portion 20 has a torso portion 22, a waist 23, a neck opening 24 and left and right arm portions 25a, 25b, respectively. the upper suit portion also has a front opening 26 closed by, for example, a zipper 27. the lower suit portion 21 has a waist 28 and left and right leg portions 29 a, 29b. the suit is completed by gloves 30 and boots 31. the upper portion 20 and the lower portion 21 may be formed in one - piece with a front central longitudinal zip or may be formed as separate parts and connected at the waist as described in our co - pending uk patent application no: 1016375. 6. the upper portion 20 carries a chest counter pressure assembly in the form of a jacket 32 containing a chest counter pressure bladder 33. referring next to figure 2, the jacket 32 is formed of inner and outer layers 34, 35 of non - elastic but moisture - vapour permeable material that hold the bladder 33 between them located on the chest 36 of a wearer. as seen in figure 2, the outer layer 35 is formed by front and rear portions 35a, 35b that are interconnected by two rows of side lacing 38a, 38b located at respective opposite sides of the outer layer 34 to allow the circumferential length of the jacket 32 to be adjusted to the correct fit for a wearer. this is important for reasons that will become apparent below. the bladder 33 is formed of a moisture vapour permeable material that allows sweat to evaporate through the material. the bladder 33 has an met 39 for connection to an inflation hose that, in turn, is connected to an inflation system for supplying air under pressure to the bladder 33, in a manner to be described below. the inflation system may be part of a breathing system for the wearer .
referring once again to figure 1, and also to figure 3, the lower portion 21 carries a lower g asssembly 40 assembly a lower g bladder 41. the lower g assembly 40 is formed by inner and outer layers 42, 43 of non - elastic but moisture vapour permeable material that hold the lower bladder 41 between them and located around the legs of a wearer (one of which is shown in figure 3) and over the abdomen of the wearer. as seen in figure 3, the outer layer 43 is formed with a side opening whose edges are interconnected by a row of side lacing 44 located to allow the circumferential length of the jacket outer layer 43 to be adjusted to the correct fit for a wearer. this is important for reasons that will become apparent below. the bladder 41 is formed of a moisture vapour permeable material that allows sweat to evaporate through the material. the bladder 41 has an inlet 45 for connection to an inflation hose 90 that, in turn, is connected to an inflation system 91 for supplying air under pressure to the bladder 41, in a manner to be described below. the lower g bladder 41 has also an outlet 46 at each ankle connected to respective bladders (not shown) in respective boots 31.
