Abstract: A fluid coupling is disclosed having a first pipe member and a second pipe member. The first pipe member has an externally threaded end with synchronized thread portions. The second pipe member is configured to be received within the first pipe member. The coupling further includes a nut slidably and rotatably fitted around the circumference of the second pipe. The nut is internally threaded with a pair of synchronized threaded portions for mating engagement with the threaded portions of the first pipe member.

Abstract: A radio receiver is for receiving a transmitted signal having a message signal as a received signal to reproduce the message signal into a speech signal. The radio receiver comprises a message memory section (3) for memorizing the message signal as a memorized message signal. A reading section (5, 14, 16) reads the memorized message signal as a read-out message signal out of the message memory section in response to a reproduction command to reproduce the read-out message signal into the speech signal in accordance with a reproduction speed. A counter circuit (9) counts the reproduction command to produce a count signal representative of a count. A speed controller (10) varies the reproduction speed into a varied reproduction speed in accordance with the count signal. The speed controller controls the reading section to make the reading section reproduce the read-out message signal into the speech signal on the basis of the varied reproduction speed.
