  Gas bladder - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The gas bladder (also fish maw, less accurately swim bladder or air bladder) is an internal organ that contributes to the ability of a fish to control its buoyancy, and thus to stay at the current water depth, ascend, or descend without having to waste energy in swimming.
The combination of gases in the bladder varies; in shallow water fish, the ratios closely approximate that of the atmosphere, while deep sea fish tend to have higher percentages of oxygen.
In embryonal development, both lung and gas bladder originate as an outpocketing from the gut; in the case of gas bladders, this connection to the gut continues to exist as the pneumatic duct in more "primitive" teleosts, and is lost in the higher orders.

Whereas air flow from the prior art impeller pumps automatically decreases as pressure within the air mattress is increased, such is not the case with the Walker diaphragm pumps; and, absent some sort of safety release valve, there was a danger of overinflation and destruction of the air mattress.
Conversely, as air is allowed to exhaust from wedge 318 (by means of controller 22), the air wedge 318, and the head portion 314 of mattress 312, is caused to move downwardly until the head portion 314 is substantially parallel to the foot portion 316.
Thus, depending upon the amount of air which is caused to enter air wedge 318, a substantially infinite number of positions between the horizontal position of head portion 314 (when it rests on foundation 12) and the vertical position of head portion 314 (when it is substantially perpendicular to foot portion 316) are attainable.

 bladder design   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Latex bladders are produced on mandrels that are dipped in a dispersion of natural rubber in water.
Bladders are manually removed from the mandrels by stretching the open end, blowing off with compressed air, or with some mechanical device.
As air fills the bladder, the rubber sticks to the laminate and only the small area at the tip is left to expand.

 Athletic shoe having air bladder pressure indicating means - Patent 5588227
Another benefit derived from the use of air bladders is the potential for reduction of forces transmitted through the shoe to the foot and ankle of the wearer during performance of the athletic endeavor.
The present invention provides an athletic shoe which incorporates an inflatable air bladder in the design and construction of the shoe, and means for inflating the air bladder, as well as means for sensing the pressure in the bladder and means for indicating the pressure sensed, all incorporated into the design of the shoe.
In addition, the air bladder is integrally connected to a means for sensing the pressure within the air bladder, and to a means for allowing a visual indication of the pressure sensed therein.

 Gas bladder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is believed that the first lungs, simple sacs that allowed the organism to gulp air under oxygen-poor conditions, evolved into the lungs of today's terrestrial vertebrates and into the gas bladders of today's fish.
In embryonal development, both lung and gas bladder originate as an outpocketing from the gut; in the case of gas bladders, this connection to the gut continues to exist as the pneumatic duct in more "primitive" teleosts, and is lost in the more derived orders.

 Fish Dissection - Swim bladder
The swim bladder (also called the gas bladder or air bladder) is a flexible-walled, gas-filled sac located in the dorsal portion of body cavity.
Most of the swim bladder is not permeable to gases, because it is poorly vascularised (has few blood vessels) and is lined with sheets of guanine crystals.
Sharks for example do not have a swim bladder, and many species such as the Grey Nurse Shark, use a different strategy which includes having a large oily liver and specialised body shape to maintain buoyancy.

The aforementioned "Air Sleep System," and the aforementioned comparable air sleep systems, also utilize a motordriven impeller which is disposed outside of said airbed and is connected to the air mattress by tubing.
In the use of such air sleep systems, it is common to locate the impeller beneath the airbed on the floor below it together with the appropriate control mechanisms.
In the first place, if air pumps currently used with airbeds were to be reduced in size so that they could fit within the bed, they would not have enough power to generate the desired air flow within a reasonable period of time.

 Genie Pump remediation pump
The Genie Pump is a self-controlled air-powered bladder pump for remediation applications that does not require an external timer based control panel, which are typically needed with other bladder pump designs.
When the bladder is squeezed from the outside by the compressed air, fluid within the bladder is forced out through a check valve at the top of the pump.
Then, when the air pressure around the bladder is exhausted, the bladder expands resuming its original shape.
