And guess he's fucking her and she's
Taking pills or wearing a diaphragm,
I know this is paradise

Take before shaking, and you 'll find it shakes your diaphragm.

In news:
The LTC liquid diaphragm pump achieves optimal performance by incorporating several innovative features to eliminate leaking and enhance dry self-priming.
Suitable for continuous duty use, the SMF 2 pump provides long life, quiet operation, and low power consumption EPDM valve and diaphragm materials are standard, with others available to meet special application needs.
With an impressive noise level as low as 35dB(A), this quiet, UL approved dual diaphragm pump was built to exceed the strictest noise requirements including those of the medical industry.
GX-100 gauge has a diaphragm sensor to claim zero bypass of particulates, and comes standard with bottom …-in NPT connections, and a follower pointer for display of differential pressure at peak flow rates.
That sharp shooting pain above the diaphragm has subsided.
The esophagus runs through the diaphragm to the stomach.
The esophagus passes through the diaphragm just before it meets the stomach, through an opening called the esophageal hiatus.
Isolation Valves Have Inert Body and Diaphragm Materials.
The Sound Advance SA2C in-wall loudspeaker incorporates the company's Planar Diaphragm Technology.
Last week, two patients underwent surgery to receive pacers designed to send electrical impulses to the diaphragm, conditioning the muscle and improving their breathing.

In the inset we identify the metastable stalk, S1 , the transition state, S0 , between the system with no stalk at all and with this metastable stalk, and the transition state, S2 , between the metastable stalk and a hemifusion diaphragm.

Table 3 shows the Strehl ratios, averaged over all thicknesses, for different diaphragms.
Optical Tests of a 2.5-m diameter Liquid Mirror: Behavior under External Perturbations and Scattered Light Measurements
We can see a significant increase of the Strehl ratio with decreasing diaphragm size.

Table 4 gives the Strehl ratios for the average wavefronts of mirrors having different thicknesses and with different diaphragms.
Optical Tests of a 2.5-m diameter Liquid Mirror: Behavior under External Perturbations and Scattered Light Measurements
We can also see a considerable improvement of the Strehl ratio for the mirror with a diaphragm, as expected from the visual appearances of the wavefronts.
Optical Tests of a 2.5-m diameter Liquid Mirror: Behavior under External Perturbations and Scattered Light Measurements
Putting a diaphragm on the mirror improves the Strehl ratio, at the expense of collecting area. 2.4 Spiral-shaped defects The surface of the mirror shows spiral-shaped defects, hereafter referred to as “spirals”.

We show three PSFs (Fig. 9) as well as three encircled energy curves (Fig. 10) obtained with a 0.5-mm layer: for the complete mirror, the mirror with a diaphragm that excludes the outer 12% of the radius, as well as the whole mirror with a 0.41 arcsecond leveling error.
Optical Tests of a 2.5-m diameter Liquid Mirror: Behavior under External Perturbations and Scattered Light Measurements
One can see that the mirror with a diaphragm has substantially less scattered light than the whole mirror.
Optical Tests of a 2.5-m diameter Liquid Mirror: Behavior under External Perturbations and Scattered Light Measurements
This last issue is further discussed in section 3.3. A similar figure for 0.8 mm 9 shows a similar, but smaller, difference between the mirrors with and without a diaphragm, a result which was expected.
Optical Tests of a 2.5-m diameter Liquid Mirror: Behavior under External Perturbations and Scattered Light Measurements
The amplitudes of the rings decrease considerably for the thinner layers, and essentially vanish when we put a diaphragm on the mirror eliminating the outer 12 % of the radius.
