Abstract: An asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) based very-high-bit-rate digital subscriber line (VDSL) system for connecting a subscriber between different data service providers includes an ATM network connected to data service providers. A host digital terminal (HDT) is connected to the ATM network by an ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC). Each of the ATM PVCs is associated with a corresponding one of the data service providers. The ATM PVCs connect the HDT to the data service providers. The HDT and the data service providers communicate data signals on the ATM PVCs through the ATM network. A customer provided equipment (CPE) data device is connected to the HDT by a VDSL PVC. The CPE device and the HDT communicate data signals on the VDSL PVC. A subscriber personal computer is connected to the CPE device for communicating data signals with the CPE device. The personal computer is operable to generate a channel signal corresponding to a selected one of the data service providers. The HDT, in response to the channel signal, connects the ATM PVC associated with the selected data service provider with the VDSL PVC to establish a system PVC connecting the selected data service provider with the personal computer. The selected data service provider and the personal computer communicate the data signals on the system PVC.

Abstract: A syringe (10) has a retractable needle (54) and a barrel (14) having an open proximal end (16) and an open distal end (18) defining a receiver (20) with an inward shoulder (22). The barrel (14) has a hollow bore (24), an elongate plunger (26) with a proximal end (28) and a distal open end (30) with a cavity (32) therewithin. A stopper (36) occludes the open end (30) of the cavity (32). The syringe (10) has an elongate hub (38) with a proximal flange (40). The hub (38) is within and sized for slidable movement within the receiver (20) at the distal end (18) of the barrel (14) with the flange (40) defining a distal end (42) of a chamber (34). There is a sleeve (46) sized to fit with a clearance about the hub (38) disposed between the shoulder (22) and the flange (40) when the hub (38) is in the receiver (20), the sleeve (46) having a sharpened proximal end (60) to function as a cutting surface (48) disposed against the flange(40). The needle (54) has a pointed distal end (58) and a proximal end connected to the passageway (44) of the hub with the pointed end of the needle extending outwardly. There is a spring (62) disposed about the hub (38) compressed to provide a bias between the receiver inward shoulder (22) and the flange (40) so that when a force greater than required to expel fluid from the chamber (34) is applied, the plunger (26) causes the cutting surface (48) to cut through the flange (40) and stopper (36) and expose the cavity (32) to allow the spring (62) to urge the hub (38) into the cavity (32) in the plunger (26) and retract the needle (54) to a position within the syringe (10). <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>
