Title: Frequency-divider circuitry
Inventor: DARIO SAN MARTIN MOLINA
IPC: H03L7/18
Filed: 2017-09-29
Abstract: A configurable frequency-divider circuit for generating a target signal of a frequency Fr/Di based on a reference signal of a frequency Fr, where Di is an integer divider ratio. The frequency-divider circuitry comprises N divider stages (Fig. 1) organised into a ring where at least one of the ring of stages, and output thereof, is controlled by a reference signal CLKin that controls the value of Di. N may be an odd number greater than or equal to 3. All the stages may be configurable by a pull-up PMOS transistor sub-circuits 54, 64 and a pull-down NMOS transistor sub-circuit 56, 66 which are governed by the reference signal. Each stage may operate in one of four modes (A, B, C, I) to determining the value of Di (Figs. 6-9). The reference and target signals may be clock signals; digital or switched logic-level signal; and/or voltage signals. A control unit may: vary a configuration signal M to change the value of Di; vary the configuration signal over time to fractionally change the value of Di; and/or vary the selection signal to change which one or more of the output signals is output, thereby providing duty cycle control. A selector may receive the output signals from the stages, via an enablable buffer, and output one or more of the signals dependent on a selection signal. The frequency-divider circuitry may be implemented in a digital-to-analogue converter.

Title: Method for detecting voluntary movements of structures in the ear to trigger user interfaces
Inventor: NICHOLAS ROY GOMPERTZ
IPC: H04R1/10
Filed: 2018-06-19
Abstract: A method of providing user input involves detecting voluntary movement 12 of ear structures by a sensor 1 located in or near to the ear canal 2. Detected motion is communicated to a processor to generate an output which affects the function of a connected device such as triggering an electronic switch or controlling a user interface. Preferably, a voluntary contraction of a middle ear muscle 5b is determined by detecting movement of the tympanic membrane 3 (eardrum) or malleus bone 4. The sensor 1 may be an infra-red camera detecting motion by analysing a two-dimensional image of the surface of the tympanic membrane 3. The sensor 1 may detect change in the three-dimensional structure of the ear drum complex 5a by optical coherence tomography, laser holography or ultrasound. Preferably, the processor determines that movement is voluntary based on the degree and duration of movement. The processor output may adjust hearing aid volume or control the selection of menu items to handle incoming calls from a connected mobile telephone.
