4. A clip according to claim 3, wherein said connecting portions have a width less than a half length of one side of the head with the square shape so that the connecting portions can be bent without interfering with each other and the leg shaft.
5. A clip according to claim 1, wherein said connecting piece further includes a thin-wall section at a substantially mid portion thereof in a longitudinal direction, said connecting piece having a length a half of which is fit within a width of the head of the male member.
6. A clip according to claim 1, wherein said flexible engaging piece formed in the side section is defined by slits, said flexible engaging piece deforming inwardly when the female member is inserted into the first installation hole and restoring an original shape thereof to engage an edge of the first installation hole when the female member is fully inserted into the first installation hole.
7. A clip according to claim 1, wherein said leg shaft further includes a catch section at a lower end thereof, said catch section engaging the female member when the male member is fully inserted into the female member.
8. An airbag body installation structure comprising said member with the first installation hole, said clip according to claim 1, and an installation plate adapted to be attached to an airbag body and having a second installation hole so that after the first installation hole is aligned with the second installation hole, the female member is inserted into the first and second installation holes, and the leg shaft of the male member is pushed into the female member to install the airbag body to the member with the first installation hole.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. An apparatus, comprising:
an audio quality component that, upon a determination that an audio message by a sender fails to meet one or more audio thresholds, provides an indication of the determination to the sender before finalization of the audio message for an intended recipient.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the audio quality component makes the determination that the audio message by the sender fails to meet the one or more audio thresholds.
3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the one or more audio thresholds comprise one or more pre-determined audio thresholds, wherein the determination that the audio message by the sender fails to meet the one or more audio thresholds comprises a comparison of one or more audio characteristics of the audio message with the one or more pre-determined audio thresholds.
4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the audio message comprises a first audio message;
wherein the audio quality component requests a potential replacement audio message from the sender.
5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the audio quality component makes a comparison of one or more audio characteristics of the potential replacement audio message with the one or more pre-determined audio thresholds.
6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the audio quality component, upon a determination that the potential replacement audio message meets the one or more audio thresholds, finalizes the potential replacement audio message for the intended recipient.
7. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the audio quality component makes a comparison of one or more audio characteristics of the potential replacement audio message with the one or more audio characteristics of the first audio message.
8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the audio quality component finalizes the first audio message based on the comparison of the one or more audio characteristics of the potential replacement audio message with the one or more audio characteristics of the first audio message.
9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the audio quality component finalizes the potential replacement audio message based on the comparison of the one or more audio characteristics of the potential replacement audio message with the one or more audio characteristics of the first audio message.
10. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the audio quality component comprises one or more digital signal processors (DSPs);
wherein the one or more digital signal processors obtain the one or more audio characteristics of the audio message.
11. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the one or more audio characteristics comprise one or more speech patterns of the sender.
12. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the one or more audio characteristics comprise signal strength, variability, signal spikes, periodic noise, andor feedback.
13. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the audio quality component comprises one or more filters;
wherein the audio quality component employs the one or more filters to obtain a filtered message from the audio message;
wherein the audio quality component substitutes the filtered message for the audio message.
14. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the audio quality component comprises a portion of a voice message system for a cellular communication network.
15. A method, comprising the step of:
providing an indication to a sender of an audio message upon a determination that the audio message fails to meet one or more audio thresholds.
16. The method of claim 15, further comprising the steps of:
receiving the audio message from the sender;
performing a comparison of one or more audio characteristics of the audio message with the one or more audio thresholds; and
finalizing the audio message if the audio message meets the one or more audio thresholds.
17. The method of claim 16, wherein the audio message comprises a first audio message, the method further comprising the steps of:
requesting a potential replacement audio message from the sender if the audio message fails to meet one or more of the one or more audio thresholds; and
finalizing the first audio message if the sender does not input the potential replacement audio message.
18. The method of claim 17, further comprising the steps of:
receiving the potential replacement audio message from the sender; and
performing a comparison of one or more audio characteristics of the potential replacement audio message with the one or more audio thresholds.
19. An article, comprising:
one or more computer-readable signal-bearing media; and
means in the one or more media for receiving an audio message from a sender;
means in the one or more media for performing a comparison of one or more audio characteristics of the audio message with one or more audio thresholds;
means in the one or more media for providing an indication to the sender of the audio message upon a determination that the audio message fails to meet one or more of the one or more audio thresholds; and
means in the one or more media for finalizing the audio message if the audio message meets the one or more audio thresholds.
20. The article of claim 19, further comprising:
means in the one or more media for requesting a potential replacement audio message from the sender if the audio message fails to meet one or more of the one or more audio thresholds;
means in the one or more media for finalizing the first audio message if the sender does not input the potential replacement audio message;
means in the one or more media for receiving the potential replacement audio message from the sender;
