Abstract: The cutter has a supporting body (10) with pockets parallel to the axis of rotation at intervals round the periphery. These accommodate cassettes with seats for cutter plates fixed in them. The cassettes are adjustable by screws for a limited amount in the axial direction. The screws (50) engage in tapped holes (48) in the body (10). These emanate from the latter's end face (16), and are nearly parallel to the axis of rotation of the body. Each screw can have a head (54) working in a groove (56) in the bottom (30) of the cassette (28), and in which it is a close fit. Each cassette can be a close fit in its pocket, being secured by a single screw (36). The latter passes through a radial drilling (38) in the cassette and works with a radial tapped hole in the pocket bottom.

Abstract: The exhalation valve includes a valve housing with a valve seat having an annular shoulder, and a valve poppet having a face with a corresponding annular groove. A soft flexible diaphragm seal disposed between the face of the valve poppet and the valve seat provides a suspended soft seal, ensuring perpendicularity in the valve seal for improved accuracy of valve operation. An annular permanent magnet and an annular magnetic ring are disposed around and spaced apart from a magnetic body to define an air gap in which an electromagnetic coil is disposed. The electromagnetic coil is connected to a control mechanism by a flexible circuit connector that is sufficiently slack that provides minimal force transverse to the longitudinal axis of the valve. An assembly is provided for adjusting uniformity of the air gap and of concentricity of magnetic body and shaft of the poppet, and the control mechanism adjusts the current supplied to the electromagnetic coil, compensating for changes in the magnetic field strength of the valve due to changes in temperature, velocity of the valve poppet, and patient airway pressure. A flexible diaphragm is also connected between the valve poppet and magnetic body to prevent cross-contamination between the exhalation valve and breathing gas.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel chemical compounds in which a lipophilic moiety such as a lipid, fatty acid, polyethylene glycol or terpene is covalently attached to a non-acylated or desacylated triterpene saponin via a carboxyl group present on the 3-O-glucuronic acid of the triterpene saponin. The attachment of a lipophile moiety to the 3-O-glucuronic acid of a saponin such as Quillaja desacylsaponin, lucyoside P, or saponin from Gypsophila, Saponaria and Acanthophyllum enhances their adjuvant effects on humoral and cell mediated immunity. Additionally, the attachment of a lipophile moiety to the 3-O-glucuronic acid residue of non- or des-acylsaponin yields a saponin analog that is easier to purify, less toxic, chemically more stable, and possesses equal or better adjuvant properties than the original saponin.
