Abstract: A sharps cup for receiving and storing a plurality of needles against accidental dislodgement, includes a plastic cup defining a bottom, a top, a sidewall connecting the bottom and the top, and a vertically extending central post disposed within and horizontally spaced from the sidewall. A resilient disc is disposed within the cup and defines a plurality of slots and segments, the segments being intermediate the slots, and each segment having a free end spaced from the post. A plastic cover for the cup defines a plurality of needle-receiving passageways therethrough adjacent the post and communicating with spaces between the post and the segment free ends. Each segment free end is individually deflectable toward the bottom adjacent the post by insertion of a needle downwardly through one of the passageways and then into the space intermediate the post and the segment free end. The disc is of a harder material than the needle so that the segment resists withdrawal of the needle by biting into the needle as the segment free end attempts to return from its deflected orientation during withdrawal of the needle.

Abstract: This invention relates to a scale inhibiting composition for aqueous systems comprising (a) polyaspartic acid, and (b) a water soluble phosphonated oligomer. The compositions are effective scale and/or corrosion inhibitors, but are also advantageous from an environmental standpoint because they are non-toxic, contain no heavy metals, and have little or no phosphorus. They also have sufficient calcium/hardness tolerance, are chlorine/bromine stable, and are effective corrosion inhibitors.

Abstract: A method which improves the security of the authentication between two entities in a telecommunication network, and particularly between a mobile terminal and the fixed network, notably visitor location and nominal recorders and an authentication center, in a cellular radiotelephony network. Prior to a first authentication of the terminal, and more precisely of the SIM card therein, by the fixed network, a second authentication is based on an algorithm in which there are entered a random number produced and transmitted by the fixed network and a key different from the key for the first authentication. A transmitted signature and a signature result are produced by the fixed network and the terminal, and compared in the terminal in order to enable the first authentication in the event of equality.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating and purifying an aqueous mixture that mainly consists of acetic acid, formic acid and high-boiling substances by extraction with a solvent in a cyclic process. The inventive method is characterized in that the flow of raffinate is fed to a solvent stripping column (11) with the major part of the water in order to remove the water from the cycle. The flow of extract is fed to a solvent recovery distillation column (8). In a first step, a mixture (A) that consists of water and solvent, is separated by overhead distillation. A mixture (B) that consists of acetic acid, formic acid and high-boiling substances is separated via a sump. Once the formic acid is removed in a column (29), mixture (B) is separated in an acetic acid distillation column to give pure acetic acid and high-boiling substances. Mixture (A) is fed to a phase separator and the aqueous phase is returned to the solvent stripping column (11) together with any residual portions of the solvent while the organic phase is returned to the extractor (8).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing voice latency in a voice-over-data wireless communication system. In a transmitter, data frames are created from audio information by a vocoder and stored in a queue. Prior to storage, some of the data frames are eliminated, or dropped, and are not stored in the queue. In a receiver, data frames are generated from received signals and stored in a queue. Prior to storage in the receiver queue, some of the data frames are dropped. Data frames are dropped either at a single fixed rate, a dual fixed rate, or a variable rate, generally depending on a communication channel latency. By dropping data frames at the transmitter, the receiver, or both, voice latency due to data frame retransmissions is reduced.
