Abstract: A flexible cryosurgical catheter having a deflectable segment adjacent its distal end, a pull wire through said catheter connected to the deflectable segment, and a deflection mechanism in its handle for pulling on the pull wire to establish a desired curvature in the deflectable segment.

Abstract: A magnetic sleeve assembly for use in a linear compressor motor, including a support sleeve and a plurality of magnets attached to the support sleeve by mounting rings. The mounting rings have angled lips extending over and contacting the ends of the magnets, which have beveled bearing surfaces on their ends. As the assembly expands and contracts, the mounting rings maintain the magnets in place.

Abstract: A sealing assembly for attaching pliable tubes to rigid connecting members, for high pressure, low temperature service, which seals by compressing a sealing wafer around the pliable tubes. The pliable tubes pass through holes in the sealing wafer. As the wafer seal is axially compressed, the wafer seal is restrained against radial expansion, thereby exerting an inward radial pressure on the holes through the wafer seal to cause an hermetic seal between the wafer seal and the pliable tubes. A swage bushing can be used, with swage tubes that are swaged onto the pliable tubes by a swage clamp, for the purpose of axially restraining the pliable tubes.
