The present invention is concerned with a process for the separation of a compressed feed gas, particularly compressed air, for delivery to a user of a variable output of a gas product, nitrogen being a preferred gas, by means of a variable-capacity separator fed by a compression apparatus. The invention is useful for the production of nitrogen from air by either distillation or permeation.

Material is deposited onto a surface, such as a tooth or a bone, to repair or restore the surface. The Material is delivered in powdered form and melted by application of a laser. The molten material is entrained in a high velocity fluid stream, typically a gas such as air, and directed to the surface to be treated. The molten material solidifies. The materials include hydroxyapatite, alumina and ...
