An emulation circuit includes a digital signal processor with a digital filter controlled by frequency response conversion parameters for converting a standard microphone signal into a signal emulating the frequency response of one of a plurality of microphones selected by a selector connected to the digital signal processor. Optionally the conversion parameters can also include phase response conversion parameters. The emulation circuit can be included in a receiver for a wireless microphone or in a microphone itself.

A modular hip prosthesis, comprising: (a) a proximal segment including a neck lockingly engageable with a femoral head component and a male tapered portion; (b) a distal segment having a proximal end and a distal tip, the distal segment further formed with a male tapered portion adjacent the proximal end thereof; and (c) a metaphyseal segment having a proximal end and a distal end, the metaphyseal segment preferably including a bone engaging outer surface portion, and further including an axial bore therethrough, the axial bore including first and second female tapered portions formed adjacent the proximal and distal ends thereof, respectively. The first female tapered portion of the metaphyseal segment is dimensionally configured to lockingly engage the male tapered portion of the proximal segment. The second female tapered portion of the metaphyseal segment is dimensionally configured to lockingly engage the male tapered portion of the distal segment. Optionally, a screw dimensionally configured to pass through aligned bores in the proximal, metaphyseal and distal segments is threadably engaged with a threaded bore formed in the proximal end of the distal segment.

A sharp instrument encasement system is disclosed for encasing the sharp points or edges of medical instruments. The system comprises a container having two fluid-tight compartments separated by a frangible membrane, one compartment containing a hardenable resin and the other containing a filler comprising a particulate material that is substantially incompressible. Upon insertion of a medical instrument through a penetrable top and through the frangible membrane, the contents of the compartments mix, creating a reaction that hardens the resin and particulate material mixture and encases the sharp portions of the medical instrument.

The magnitude of analog audio input signal to an analog to digital converter in a digital audio processing system is increased or decreased in response to the magnitude of a sample of the digitized audio signal being found below or above, respectively, an acceptable range of magnitudes of the analog audio input signal. The magnitude of an audio output signal is correspondingly decreased or increased, after a delay equal to the processing delay. Additionally the increase of the magnitude of the audio input signal is delayed by a predetermined period, e. g. , five to thirty seconds, during which the magnitude of the audio input signal remains below the acceptable input magnitude range.

A fluid transfer system, including a channel member, adapted for connection between an arterial or venus catheter and an IV fluid administration system. The channel member includes a duct and an access port. An adapter including a recessed needle assembly is provided for mounting to the access port of the channel member. A syringe, IV tubing or an evacuated container may be mounted directly to the channel member via the adapter. Safety is substantially enhanced by recessing the needle assembly of the adapter.

A needle-shielding fluid transfer device for safely transferring fluid from a needle-bearing medical device to a separate container. The device includes a housing having a passage therethrough. At one end section of the housing, the passage has a relatively large diameter and the housing is adapted to easily accept and hold the needle-bearing medical device from which fluid is to be transferred. At a second end section, the housing is adapted to accept the container into which fluid is to be transferred. When a needle-bearing medical device is inserted into the passage at the first end section of the passage and a container is inserted into the second end section of the housing the needle of the needle-bearing medical device enters the container and fluid may be transferred. In one embodiment, the housing is split into two housing components to form a clamshell-like structure.

An intraosseous needle having a threaded shaft with a passageway extending substantially therethrough, a solid and pointed tip at one end thereof, the tip having a plurality of cutting edges which facilitate boring through a bone. The shaft also includes two side ports in communication with the passageway to allow fluids to pass through the needle into the interior of the Done after successful insertion thereof. There is a hub at the opposite end of the shaft, whereby the needle is adapted to couple with an appropriate gripping device. A handle is provided in the shape of a ball knob and is adapted to telescopically and grippingly receive the hub of the needle. The hub and handle are both equipped with mutually engaging torque-transmitting surfaces. Additionally, the threads of the intraosseous needle may optionally be tapered so that at least one thread at the proximal end of the threaded shaft has a greater major (and/or minor) diameter than at least one thread located at the distal end of the threaded shaft. As the needle is inserted, the tapering of the threads provides a tighter fit between the bone and the needle to prevent needle wobble and fluid leakage.
