The present invention provides a therapeutic limb covering and an associated method of treating chronic swelling of a limb. The limb covering is uses hydrostatic pressure provided by liquid contained within the covering to apply pressure to the limb. The limb covering comprises a substantially non-distensible flexible outer layer, a distensible flexible inner layer joined together and a liquid tight bladder therebetween. The covering may be adapted for releasable securement about a limb such as an arm or a lower leg and foot of a patient. After placement on the limb, when the bladder is filled with a liquid, such as water, it expands to contact and apply pressure to the limb.

The present invention provides a nozzle capable of multiple atomizing steps of a liquid. In one configuration the nozzle provides atomization of a liquid fluid in a first direction and subsequent post atomization of the same liquid in a second direction to form a counter-flow nozzle. Accordingly, the liquid fluid to be dispensed is atomized in at least two separate stages causing improved atomization and the creation of particulate matter size of the liquid within a specified droplet spectrum. Furthermore, the present invention provides these features through an improved and simplified design providing potential cost savings to the end user due to the more effective operation of the nozzle and more efficient dispensing of fluid agents.

The invention relates to a liquid-liquid phase change absorbent for separating acid gas. The absorbent comprises the following components in percentages by mass: 10-60% of ethanolamine, 20-60% of other water-soluble organic compounds and 10-70% of water. Before the liquid-liquid phase change absorbent absorbs acid gas, the liquid-liquid phase change absorbent is a homogeneous-phase body, and after the liquid-liquid phase change absorbent absorbs acid gas, the liquid-liquid phase change absorbent forms into liquid-liquid phase spontaneously; the upper liquid phase is a barren liquor phase which loads acid gas, the lower liquid phase is a rich liquor phase which loads acid gas, and only the rich liquor phase enters a desorption unit, so that desorption energy consumption is reduced. After the liquid-liquid phase change absorbent absorbs acid gas, the liquid-liquid phase change absorbent forms into liquid-liquid phase for facilitating separation; according to characteristics of the absorbed acid gas, ratio of the absorbent can be adjusted for adapting to optimal volume ratio of the upper liquid phase and the lower liquid phase and load capacity of the absorbent in the process, so that amount of the rich liquor phase which enters the desorption unit in industrial environment is reduced, and energy consumption in the desorption process is reduced as possible.
