AGHG Affiliate Supercritical Thermal System, Inc. Now Testing Advanced 2 Hour Version of its Air Mobility Pack Designed for NASA Kennedy Space Center; Air Mobility Pack for Use in Tunnels, Subways, Mine Fires or Rescue Operations.ESCONDIDO, Calif. -- Asgard Holdings Inc. (Pink Sheets:AGHG) is pleased to announce, their affiliate Supercritical Thermal Systems, Inc. is now testing an advanced two hour version of their Supercritical Air Mobility Pack (SCAMP(R)). The unit provides over 120 minutes of breathing air and full body cooling for the user. This advanced technology was developed for NASA Kennedy Space Center Kennedy Space Center (Cape Canaveral) U.S. launch site for manned space missions. [U.S. Hist.: WB, So:562] See : Astronautics for use by their propellant handling personnel. These workers must spend up to two hours in fully enclosed protective suits when loading toxic fuels or oxidizers such as hydrazine hydrazine (hī`drəzēn'), chemical compound, formula NH2NH2, m.p. 1.4°C;, b.p. 113.5°C;, specific gravity 1.011 at 15°C;. It is very soluble in water and soluble in alcohol. and nitrogen tetroxide te·trox·ide n. A chemical compound containing four oxygen atoms per molecule. Noun 1. tetroxide - an oxide containing four atoms of oxygen in the molecule oxide - any compound of oxygen with another element or a radical . This is a further development of the one-hour system now undergoing the final pre-test before submission to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is the federal agency responsible for conducting research and making recommendations for the prevention of work-related injury and illness. (NIOSH NIOSH National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health, see there NIOSH Recommendations for Safety & Health Standards Agent NIOSH REL*/OSHA PEL† Health effects ) for approval. The new advanced Air Mobility Pack will allow the worker to double their safe breathing time while operating in an impermeable suit in Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH or NIOSH IDLH) is a limit for personal exposure to a substance defined by the United States National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), normally expressed in parts per million (ppm). (IDLH) conditions. This technology will also eliminate the worker from suffering heat related disabilities such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Other uses for the two-hour systems include tunnel, subway or mine fires or rescue operations. The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S. agency established (1970) in the Dept. of Labor (see Labor, United States Department of) to develop and enforce regulations for the safety and health of workers in businesses that are engaged in interstate (OSHA OSHA n. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a branch of the US Department of Labor responsible for establishing and enforcing safety and health standards in the workplace. ) require a minimum of a two hour breathing apparatus for entry into a tunnel fire/rescue situation. Right now that requirement is met by rebreather A rebreather is a type of breathing set that provides a breathing gas containing oxygen and recycles exhaled gas. This recycling reduces the volume of breathing gas used, making a rebreather lighter and more compact than an open-circuit breathing set for the same duration in units that provide breathing air but no body or respiratory cooling. Heat stress related medical problems are common. The SCAMP(R) two-hour unit would meet the federal requirements and eliminate the heat stress problems. "This is one more indication of our ability build and test cutting-edge technology for our government, states and towns," said Virgil Williams, CEO of Asgard Holdings, Inc.
