20120329022 | CHEST COMPRESSION TRAINING ASSEMBLY - A chest compression training assembly comprising an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the upper portion is adapted to be moved towards the lower portion when a compression force is exerted on the upper portion, and to move back to a noncompressed position when the compression force is removed. An upper element is connected to the upper portion and a lower element is connected to the lower portion, wherein the upper and lower elements both contain a magnetic material and are facing each other. At least one of the upper and lower element comprises a magnet. At least one of the upper and lower element is arranged on an element retainer permitting the upper or lower element to move within a predetermined path towards the facing upper or lower element. The upper and lower element are arranged in such way that one may be moved into a certain proximity of the other during a compression movement of the top of the assembly. Magnetic attraction between the upper and lower elements results in acceleration, within said path, of one of the upper and lower elements towards the other when in said proximity, wherein said acceleration results in a collision which produces an audible sound. | 12-27-2012 |

20150146830 | CLOCK RECOVERY FOR A DATA RECEIVING UNIT - Clock recovery for a data receiving unit is disclosed. Clock recovery can include obtaining an early/late signal from an incoming data stream, wherein the early/late signal indicates if a set of one or more data samples of the incoming data stream tends to be earlier or later than an edge of a phase-rotated clock signal provided depending on a phase offset value. Clock recovery can include updating a phase rotation counter value in response to the early/late signal. Clock recovery can include determining the phase offset value depending on a rounded phase rotation counter value. The phase offset value can be further determined by selecting one of a set of options including maintaining, increasing, or decreasing the rounded phase rotation counter value, wherein the selecting is performed depending on the early/late signal and depending on the phase rotation counter value. | 05-28-2015 |
