Patent CA-2179950-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRIMHALL GREG L
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 1996-06-26
Abstract: A needle point guard assembly includes inner and outer housings disposed in nested relationship to one another to permit relative rotation therebetween.  The proximal end walls of the inner and outer housings have apertures each of which is dimensioned to slidably receive a needle. The apertures are disposed in the housings such that they are registered in one rotational orientation of the housings relative to one another to define a first opening that allows a needle to pass therethrough. The needle point guard assembly further includes a spring for rotatably driving the housings relative to one another and a trigger for selectively holding the inner housing with respect to the outer housing in a rotational orientation where the apertures define the first opening. The trigger moves out of interfering relationship between the inner housing and the outer housing when the sharp distal tip of the needle is withdrawn into the needle point guard assembly.  In this condition, the spring will rotatably drive the housings into orientations  where the apertures will not be substantially aligned so that the overlapping area is smaller than the first opening.  The edges of the apertures will thus bind against the needle and prevent further movement of the needle point guard assembly either proximally or distally along the needle,

Patent CA-2180970-A1 (CA)
Title: Improved pintlepin
Inventor: CORRIVEAU ANDRE
IPC: F16G3/02
Filed: 1996-07-10
Abstract: A pintlepin is disclosed, for use to connect together adjacent ends of segments of an endless belt. The pintlepin has a pintle consisting of at least one filament having an outer diameter substantially identical to the diameter of the tubular opening formed by the intermeshed loops used as a seam at the adjacent ends of the segments to be connected. It also has a leader made of a rigid or semi-rigid material. This leader has an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the tubular opening. It acts as a guide to facilitate insertion for the pintle through the tubular opening formed by the loops. A swedger connects together the pintle and the leader. This swedger consists of a tubing having a front portion and a rear portion in which the rear end of the lader and the front end of the pintle are respectively swaged. The front end of the pintle has a peripheral recess sized and shaped to receive the rear portion of the swedger and thus prevent this swedger from having an outer diameter exceeding the outer diameter of the pintle. This feature renders the insertion of the pintlepin much easier to carry out. The front portion of the swedger also has a front edge which is forwardly downwardly bevelled. This feature reduces the risk of damaging the loops.

Patent CA-2189089-A1 (CA)
Title: Message Retrieval Via Alternative Access
Inventor: BRUNSON GORDON RICHARDS
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1996-10-29
Abstract: A multi-media messaging system (106) provides multi-media message access capability to non-subscriber message recipients (126) who lack multi-media message-reception capability. When a message originator (100) who is a subscriber requests a message to be sent to a recipient's address, the messaging system determines whether the recipient is able to receive at this address all of the media in which the message is expressed. If not, the messaging system saves the message for the recipient, assigns an identifier/password to the message, and creates a substitute message containing any components of the original message that are expressed in media which the recipient is able to receive at the address, along with the password and instructions on how to log into the sending messaging system. The messaging system then sends this substitute message to the recipient's address. When the recipient follows the instructions and logs into the sending messaging system with the password, the messaging system allows the recipient to access only the original message. Following this access, or if the access is not made within a predetermined time period, the messaging system deletes the original message.

Title: Signal-processing method and device for substituting non-correctable blocks in a receiver for block-coded audio signals
Inventor: LECKSCHAT DIETER
IPC: G10L19/005
Filed: 1995-08-01
Abstract: In order to improve the transmission quality of block-coded audio signals in audio communications sys-tems, for example in DECT cordless telephones, when transmission errors occur, in such a manner that the requirement for computation power and thus the costs are minimal and no additional delay occurs to the audio signal to be transmitted, pauses in the audio signal which are caused by transmission errors are replaced by a pause-specific substitution signal which is generated in advance. In the simplest case, the substitution signal is generated by the signal section which immediately pre-cedes a given signal section of the audio signal being buffer-stored and, if the given signal section is disturbed, being inserted into the gap which is produced by the disturbance.
