Abstract: A mouthpiece for oral delivery for oral delivery of CPAP treatment has a
vestibular shield for location between the teeth and lips/cheeks of a wearer. The
vestibular shield is dimensioned to extend laterally into the buccal vestibule and
vertically to overlap the gums. The vestibular shield is formed from a very supple
material. A gases pathway is provided through the vestibular shield and may include a
hard plastic insert through the shield, including a standard breathing conduit connection
at its outer end. A short stub conduit on the outlet side of the shield passes between the
wearers upper and lower teeth. 
     A connection for connecting the mouthpiece to a breathing circuit is also
provided which reduces the transfer of forces caused by movement therebetween. The
connection may include a short length of highly flexible gases conduit, an elbow and
a swivel connection.

Abstract: An antenna assembly has a first helical antenna and a second rod antenna extending through inside said first antenna in the axis direction. When the antenna is retracted, the upper end of a conductive portion of the second antenna passes through the first antenna to be evacuated below the lower end, and when the antenna is extended, the lower end portion of the conductive portion of the second antenna is electrically connected to the upper end portion of the first antenna. Therefore, the length of the second antenna can be reduced as compared with a length defined based on wavelengths of used electromagnetic waves. Consequently, an antenna assembly which requires a smaller housing space can be obtained.

Abstract: A receiver for digital signals equalises the counted number of errors for each of the levels the signals may assume, by adjusting decision thresholds. The numbers of errors for each level are preferably derived from estimates which are used for error correction decoding. While it is envisaged that such an arrangement will be used mainly for the reception of binary signals, it is also applicable to the reception of signals with more than two levels. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A plurality of steps respectively constituted by inner
housings (19) are incorporated into an outer housing (18) of
a female connector (12). Moreover, a pushing operation force
transmitting member (20) is incorporated thereinto. The
engaging relation of this pushing operation force transmitting
member (20) to each of the inner housings is changed every time
this member is externally operated. Thus, a pushing operation
force applied to the outer housing (18) is transmitted to the
inner housings (19) sequentially. Consequently, the outer
housing (18) and the pushing operation force transmitting member
(20) are alternately pushed. Thus, the plurality of steps
respectively constituted by the inner housings (19) are
sequentially connected to a male connector (12).

Abstract: The invention is a ventilator whose servo-controller adjusts the degree of
support by adjusting the profile of the pressure waveform as well as the pressure
modulation amplitude. As the servo-controller increases the degree of support by
increasing the pressure modulation amplitude, it also generates a progressively more
square, and therefore efficient, pressure waveform; when the servo-controller decreases
the degree of support by decreasing the pressure modulation amplitude, it also
generates a progressively more smooth and therefore comfortable pressure waveform.
