Abstract: A syringe pump in which it can be detected whether the flange of the thumb rest of a syringe is set on the slider assembly of the syringe pump regardless of whether the pump is in operation or not. The flange of the thumb rest can be reliably fixed to the slider assembly by hooks (53,54). The syringe pump is not affected by electric noise. The syringe pump includes a power transmission mechanism (7,9,43,10) for transmitting movement of a contact pin (1) before a sensor (46) detects that a half nut member (45) meshes with a lead screw (37) from movement of a dog (39). Disengagement of the flange of the thumb rest from the hooks (53,54) can be detected.

Abstract: A microwave device and corresponding method for cutting, and especially drilling into, a solid body of non-conductive material employ a microwave source which provides microwave radiation, typically through a waveguide, to a concentrator. The concentrator is configured to concentrate the microwave radiation onto a small region of solid body, thereby generating sufficient heat in that region to liquefy a volume of the material to form a hole. The device and method may be used to perform various drilling, cutting, nailing, joining and welding operations on a wide range of dielectric materials including ceramics, concrete and stone.

Abstract: A method which comprises forming a first noise reduction frame (18) containing speech samples; which is windowed by a first window function. For the windowed frame, noise reduction is performed for producing a second noise reduction frame (19; 45). A speech coding frame (44) to be formed comprises noise-reduced samples of at least two successive second noise reduction frames (45, 46), partly summed with one another. On the basis of said speech coding frame (44), a set of speech coding parameters pj are determined. A lookahead part (42) of the speech coding frame is at least partly formed of a first slope (41), the first slope (10, 41) comprising a set of most recent noise-reduced samples of the second noise reduction frame, not summed with the samples of any other second noise reduction frame. The method reduces the delay caused by speech coding and noise reduction.

Abstract: Users in a telecommunication system will probably change every now and then the mobile terminals they are using. A new mobile terminal does not necessarily comprise the service components that are required by the services the user has subscribed. In the arrangements according to the invention, service components provided in a mobile terminal are compared (303) with the components required in the services the subscriber has subscribed to, and if a service component is missing from the mobile terminal, a procedure for loading the component is activated. In this manner the mobile terminal can be provided with the services the user has subscribed to without the user having to be aware of the service components that are provided and required in the mobile terminal.

Abstract: A safety valve (4) incorporated in a tubing string (2) has a diameter considerably larger than that of the rest of the tubing string (2). A cable protector (10) is fastened onto the tubing string (2) at the lead in to the safety valve (4) to ensure that cables (8) extending along the outside of the tubing string are able to cope with the changes in diameter without strain or damage. The cable protector (10) is formed from two cast bodies (12) and (14) hingedly connected together to define a substantially circular inner cross-section. The upper body member (12) is provided with an elongate cable slot (26) in which the cable (8) is received. In addition, the upper body member (12) is shaped to give the cable protector an increasing internal cross-sectional size, or transverse dimension, along its length from one end (B) to the other end (B'), whereby the distance of the cable (8) from the longitudinal axis (X-X) of the tubing string (2) increases as it extends therealong. Thus the cable (8), received within the cable slot (26), is guided along a path which has a varying spacing from the longitudinal axis (X-X).
