Abstract: The present invention is directed to a needle safety device including a medical
device, such as a needle holder or a syringe. The device includes a needle cannula (30)
having a puncture tip (38) extending from an end of the medical device. A shield (50) pivotably
connected to the medical device is pivotal with respect to the needle cannula (30) between
a shielded position encompassing the needle cannula (30) and a retracted or non-shielded
position pivotally spaced from the needle cannula (30). The shield (50) includes a laterally
extending lever (66), and the medical device includes a laterally extending arm (24). A biasing
element (70) having stored energy for biasing the shield (50) toward the shielded
position is positioned between the lever (66) and the arm (24). Movement of the lever (66) and the
arm (24) toward each other pivots the shield (50) to the retracted position, and releasing the
lever (66) and arm (24) allows the stored energy of the spring (70) to pivot the shield (50) into the
shielded position.

IPC: H04H20/14

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for determining the relative time difference or delay between first and second audio signals that represent substantially the same audio content. The invention also provides a method and an apparatus for determining whether two audio signals contain the same audio content. 
     A comparison of the two audio signals is carried out using a low-bit representation of each signal that is generated using the dominant frequency within successive portions or frames of the signal. This audio representation can also be used as a means of comparing two video programmes of which the audio signal is a part. 
     As the analysis is based on the frequencies present within the audio signal, it can for example, be performed more quickly than an analysis based on the energy of the audio signal. As a resul-t, the determination can be made in real time, allowing it to be advantageously used in the field of broadcasting to confirm that a signal being transmitted by a regional broadcasting centre is in accordance with the master signal being sent to it by a programme originator. 
     The invention may also be used to synchronise two like signals with each other.

Abstract: A central entity and/or a remote device in a communication system are designed to address the problem of maintaining upstream synchronization in the remote device after loss of the downstream signal. One issue of particular importance is maintaining upstream transmissions from the remote device in an S-CDMA (or perhaps S-TDMA) mode that do not degrade performance of the communication system via poor upstream timing or a need for re-ranging. By providing novel functionality at the central entity for synchronizing first and second downstream signals and/or by providing novel functionality at the remote device for determining a symbol clock offset between a first terminated downstream signal and a second re-acquired downstream signal, embodiments of the present invention facilitate maintenance of synchronization through the loss of the downstream signal, thereby minimizing the need for re-ranging and avoiding poorly timed upstream bursts.
