Title: Jitter buffer
Inventor: VAFIN RENAT
IPC: H04L49/9023
Filed: 2011-10-25
Abstract: At least one processing parameter describing how data of a real-time communication event is to be processed for transmission to a receiver jitter buffer 114 is determined. The data is then processed in accordance with the parameter(s) and transmitted to the jitter buffer. Control information based on the processing parameter(s) is also transmitted to the receiver, the receiver using the information to control a state of the jitter buffer, e.g. the size or delay of the jitter buffer. The processing parameter(s) may include the encoding bit rate, forward error correction (FEC) depth, packetization and interleaving. In an alternative embodiment, the data processing parameters used by the transmitter are controlled on the basis of the state of the jitter buffer (figure 2). Alternatively, the processing parameters used by the transmitter and state of the jitter buffer are optimized jointly and adaptively (figure 9).

Title: Fluid transfer devices
Inventor: CHRISTIAN MIDE
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2015-04-09
Abstract: A fluid transfer device 2 comprises a body member or adaptor 10, a fluid transfer tip 6 comprising a tapered friction fitting for a corresponding hub 14, and a disconnecting member or lever 12. There are engagement features 34 operating between the disconnecting lever 12 and the adaptor body 10 which engage to inhibit the front portion of the disconnecting member 12 from moving relative to the fluid transfer tip 6. In use, upon application of a force, the disconnecting member 12 (specifically the side wall 22) deforms so that the engagement features 34 are no longer in engagement with one another, thereby allowing the front portion of the disconnecting member 12 to move relative to the fluid transfer tip 6 (specifically pivoting about axle 32 to release threaded collar 24 from the hub 14, and pushing the hub 14 away from the connector tip 6) thus releasing the hub 14 from the friction fitting. There may also be a catch 26 to prevent dangerous ejection.
