Abstract: A system for supporting pulmonary gas exchange in patients and for coupling to a ventilating system or for use in the case of non-ventilated patients, which has a flexible hose introducible into the trachea of a patient, a pump unit, a reservoir unit and a controller such that via the flexible hose and by means of the pump unit it is possible to regulate aspiration, especially end-expiratory aspiration, and recirculation, especially end-inspiratory recirculation, of the aspirated gas. In order that the system can be operated independently of a ventilating system, the system has a sensor.

Abstract: A device and a process for the heating and humidification of gas, especially respiratory gas. Fluid from a fluid reservoir is supplied to a sprinkling type chamber where, for the purpose of humidification, it is moved through the gas. The point is that the fluid is heated by a temperature controlled heater to a preset temperature. In addition to the description of the device, a description of the process underlying the operation of the device is described.

Abstract: In a method and an apparatus for producing continuous slivers of improved uniformity, open-loop or closed-loop control of the production process is corrected in dependence upon the absolute air humidity measured near the installation. Long-term variations in sliver weight, which have been found to correlate with the absolute air humidity, are obviated.

Abstract: In order to effect a controllable change in the production of a fiber-processing machine there is changed the working width of the fiber-processing machine.
