A cannula insertion device comprises an elongate frame () and a hub () mounted to the frame and arranged to be slidably moveable from a first position forwards along a longitudinal axis to a second position relative to the frame and a needle () projecting forwards from the hub and carrying a detachable cannula () assembly including a cannula. The frame and hub are arranged to allow the hub to be moved forwards from the first position to the second position so as to insert the cannula into a patient and to be drawn backwards to a withdrawn position. The needle is shielded by the frame when the hub is in the first position and also when in the withdrawn position.

A communication system includes a voice-directed portable terminal with a voice user interface that is configured for being able to communicate with a computer system. The communication system includes a peripheral device having a cord coupled with the portable terminal and a connector adapted to disconnect from the portable terminal when a sufficient force is applied to the cord. This disengages the peripheral device from the portable terminal. The ability of the cord to break-away from the portable terminal prevents damage not only to the connector, but also to the cord, peripheral, and terminal.

Voice-directed portable terminals for wireless communication systems

An electrical connector has a plug portion and a terminal portion. The plug portion is couplable to the terminal portion to provide an electrical connection between a device and a peripheral item which is securely coupled to the device during normal operation of the device. Advantageously, the plug portion will break-away from the terminal portion when a force applied to the plug portion reaches a specified magnitude to thereby prevent damage to the connector and to prevent hindering operation of the device.
