Title: Method for the binaural left-right localization for hearing instruments
Inventor: FISCHER EGHART
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 2010-07-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for improving the signal-to-noise distance of output signals of a microphone system of two or more microphones due to acoustic useful signals occurring at the sides of the microphone system. Such a method and system can be used in hearing instruments, especially in hearing aids worn on the head of a hearing aid user. According to the invention, high and low frequency portions (cut-off frequency in the range between 700 Hz and 1.5 kHz, e.g. approx. 1 kHz) are processed differently. In low frequency ranges, a differential microphone signal which is directed towards left and one towards right is produced to determine the level of the lateral useful and noise sound using these two directional signals. These levels are used for a Wiener filtering and every microphone signal is subjected to an individual Wiener filtering. Additionally, the natural shadowing effect of the head can be used in high frequency ranges as a pre-filter for noise and useful sound estimation for a subsequent Wiener filtering. Every microphone signal is then subjected to Wiener filtering individually. The methods can e.g. be used in hearing instruments to be worn on the head individually for high or for low frequencies, but they can be also used in combination and complement each other in advantageous manner.

Title: Print document processing system, cache apparatus, data processing apparatus, program, and print document processing method
Inventor: HAYAKAWA MICHIO
IPC: G06F3/12
Filed: 2011-06-02
Abstract: Abstract A print document processing system (100) includes a cache apparatus (130, 140) and plural data processing 5 apparatuses (120). The cache apparatus includes a cache memory (140), a state memory, and a first response providing unit. The cache memory (140) stores bitmap image data or intermediate language image data created by each of the data processing apparatuses (120). The state memory stores, for 10 each document element of print document data, a state among plural predefined states in association with a cached state of image data of the document element in the cache memory. The plural states include a CREATING state, and the CREATING state is a state where the image data of the document 15 element is not in the cache memory (140) and where the image data of the document element is currently being created by any of the data processing apparatuses (120). Upon receipt of a query on image data of a document element of the print document data from a data processing apparatus among the 20 data processing apparatuses (120), the first response providing unit provides a CREATING response to the data processing apparatus if the CREATING state is stored in the state memory in association with the cached state of the image data of the document element. The CREATING response 25 is a response indicating that the image data of the document element is currently being created by any of the data processing apparatuses (120). Each of the plural data processing apparatuses (120) includes an image data creating unit, a query unit, and a controller. The image data 5 creating unit creates bitmap image data or intermediate language image data by processing page description language data of each document element of the print document data. The query unit queries, for each document element of the print document data, whether image data of the document 10 element is in the cache apparatus (130, 140) or not before the image data creating unit creates the image data of the document element. If a response from the cache apparatus (130, 140) in response to a query issued by the query unit is the CREATING response, in accordance with a predetermined 15 condition, the controller performs control to use the image data after the image data that is currently being created has been created or cause the image data creating unit to create the image data of the document element without waiting for creation of the image data that is currently 20 being created to be completed. =0 00 uJU uJ u U) C 0 z CNJ CNI (NC Ho HL H -L CD of =.L f J 0 > J C-) (Nz

Title: Power assisted lipoplasty
Inventor: MERCHANT ADNAN I
IPC: A61B17/20
Filed: 2011-09-29
Abstract: Described are embodiments that include a device with a motor that when connected to a cannula rotates the cannula while removing adipose tissue from a surgical site. The device provides a direct pathway, for aspirated adipose tissue, from a tip of the cannula to a location where tubing is attached to the device. The pathway does not pass through the motor that provides the angular rotation of the cannula. Instead, the path for the adipose tissue passes through a removable coupler that is connected to the cannula. The embodiments provide a cannula that rotates but also has a direct flow path for adipose tissue that does not pass through the motor.

Title: Materials for controlling the epitaxial growth of photoactive layers in photovoltaic devices
Inventor: FORREST STEPHEN R
IPC: H01L51/00
Filed: 2011-10-14
Abstract: There is disclosed ultrathin film material templating layers that force the morphology of subsequently grown electrically active thin films have been found to increase the performance of small molecule organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. There is disclosed electron-transporting material, such as hexaazatriphenylene- hexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN) can be used as a templating material that forces donor materials, such as copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) to assume a vertical-standing morphology when deposited onto its surface on an electrode, such as an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode. It has been shown that for a device with HAT-CN as the templating buffer layer, the fill factor and short circuit current of CuPc:C60 OPVs were both improved compared with cells lacking the HAT-CN template. This is explained by the reduction of the series resistance due to the improved crystallinity of CuPc grown onto the ITO surface.
Patent AU-2011345221-A1 (AU)
Title: Catheter system for a needle injector with an automatic needle/barrier extension
Inventor: SCHATZ RICHARD A
IPC: A61M5/46
Filed: 2011-11-29
Abstract: A catheter system includes a positioning catheter for receiving an injection needle into its lumen. The injection needle incorporates a web member mounted directly onto its shaft. As the injection needle is moved in a distal direction to exit from the lumen of the catheter, the web member is biased to transition from a folded configuration, and into a flared configuration. Specifically, this transition occurs when the injection needle is deployed more than a predetermined distance "d" beyond the distal end of the catheter. In its flared configuration, the web member is disk-shaped and is oriented perpendicular to the needle. Thus, it acts as a barrier to limit the depth of insertion of the needle into target tissue of a patient, to a depth less than "d", and to prevent perforation of the target tissue by the catheter tip.
