A week or so ago I made a post on the problems that astronauts can get into 
with decompression when getting into their EVA suits. The following was on 
the UTC (parent of Hamilton Sundstrand) internal web site.


<<<HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND says NASA plans to develop a "validation tool"
that 
can instantly test the amount of nitrogen in astronauts' blood, helping to 
protect
them better when moving from the International Space Station to outside 
construction tasks. (Bloomberg, 7/19) >>>

Perhaps we are seeing the next type of dive computer in the forming stage - a 
real time nitrogen measurement with constantly updated deco schedule?  What 
will the technology look like in 10 years? Ten years ago the Aladdin and USD 
Monitor were state of the art.
