Patent NO-931880-D0 (NO)
Inventor: SCHNEIDER BARRY L
IPC: F16L3/137
Filed: 1993-05-24
Abstract: A retention device (10), particularly useful for drainage tubes and the like, having a pad (11) for adhesive attachment to a patient's skin at the exit/entry site for a post-surgical drainage tube. The device includes a retainer body (13) secured to the pad and provided with a strap (14) to be looped and tightened about the drainage tube for immobilizing that tube. A passage in the body receives the free end of the strap and a latching mechanism (28) prevents retraction of the strap unless a pair of side flanges (26) of the body are squeezed towards each other to alter the configuration of the body's top wall (27) and cause upward disengagement of a restraining pawl from the ratchet teeth of the strap. In one form of the invention, the strap is oriented horizontally and the passage is spaced well above the pad so that the horizontal plane of the passage substantially bisects the loop along its axis, thereby allowing portions of the loop to be located above and below the entrance to the passage. In another embodiment, the strap is oriented in a vertical plane and the pawl is cammed laterally and upwardly to disengage the strap when the side flanges are squeezed towards each other. <IMAGE>

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FI95/00673 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 9, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 9, 1997 PCT Filed Dec. 8, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/18248 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 13, 1996In a mobile communication system, two or more parallel traffic channels are allocated for high-speed data transmission over the radio path. Different channel numbers are assigned to these parallel traffic channels for the duration of the connection. The data of a high-speed data signal is inserted at the distribution point of the transmission end into frames each of which is provided with a channel number indicating the parallel traffic channel used for the transmission. The frames transmitted in a traffic channel always contain the same channel number during the whole call. The frames are divided into parallel traffic channel in the sequential order according to the channel numbering. At the reception end the data contained in the frames is reassembled into a high-speed data signal in the sequential order according to the channel numbers in the frames. Frame numbering may be used within each of the traffic channels so that at least two successive frames always have a different frame number. Consequently, the allowed delay offset between the traffic channels will increase with the number of the frame numbers, and the order of the frames will be maintained under any circumstances.
