A connector includes a housing forming at least one receptacle and a terminal received in each receptacle. The housing has upper and lower faces in which opposite slots are defined. Through holes are defined in the slots and extending to the receptacle. The terminal has an engagement section, a retention section extending from the engagement section, an extension section extending from the retention section and opposite to the engagement section and a wire engaging section projecting from the extension section. The engagement section includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced resilient leaves forming a cylinder axially aligned with the holes defined in the upper and lower faces of the housing. Thus, when a pin of a mating connector is fit into the cylinder of the engagement section through either one of the holes of the housing, the pin is completely surrounded by the leaves and a large contact area is formed between the pin and the engagement section. Due to the resiliency of the leaves, only a low insertion force is needed in completing insertion of the pin into the engagement section. Firm engagement, low impedance and low noise, as well as reduced heat generation, can be realized between the pin and the engagement section.

To reduce power consumption and associated heating in a line card of line termination equipment (LTE, 12) employing multiple cub-channel carriers to communicate broadband information to customer premise equipment (CPE, 30) down a wireline communication resource (26, sub-channel carrier transmissions are restricted (58) during periods of CPE inactivity. Power supplies to a power amplifier (30) associated with the line card and wireline resource (26) are reduced, with digital signal processing capabilities of the LTE (12) further restricted (64). When the CPE wishes to re-start communication, the CPE (30) locks (68) to a correct alignment in a transmission scheme using a pilot tone that is transmitted within a simple pattern sent during reduced sub-channel carrier transmissions. Alternatively, should all transmission from the LTE cease during CPE inactivity, then the CPE monitors (80) the transmission environment and sends (82) a wake-up call to the LTE between boundaries of an uplink slot. The LTE (12) re-establishes pilot tone transmissions (86), with synchronization and lock (88) subsequently achievable by the CPE (30): this is illustrated in FIG. 2.

Devices and methods to heat and cool human beings, including inducing and maintaining hypothermia in human patients. Methods include inducing hypothermia to treat ischemic events, including heart attack and stroke, to limit damage caused by the ischemic event. Methods can include: using the lungs for heat exchange; using cooled gases for ventilation; using helium in the ventilation gas mixture, using medications to control reflex heat production; and injecting a perfluorocarbon mist into the gas stream to increase the cooling rate. The high thermal conductivity and diffusivity of helium results in greater inspired gas temperature equalization toward body temperature. Due to the latent heat of vaporization, addition of even small quantity of phase-change perfluorocarbon dramatically increases the heat carrying capacity of the respiratory gases. Hypothermia may be terminated by discontinuing the medications and warming the patient using a warmed helium-oxygen mixture.
