Abstract: A hearing aid comprises two microphones, directional processing means for combining the respective audio signals to form a spatial signal, a beamformer for controlling the directional processing means to provide adaptation of the spatial signal, and means for boosting low frequencies of the spatial signal. A feedback estimator generates a feedback compensation signal, which is combined with the boosted spatial signal. By applying feedback compensation only after directional processing and low frequency boosting, the device avoids interference by the feedback estimator with the function of the beamformer. The invention also provides a method of processing signals in a hearing aid.

Abstract: The data points are determined from the measured values and prepared to emphasis the illness-caused characteristics of the glucose metabolism of the examined humans. The glucose concentration is measured for six hours with time intervals of less than 5 minutes. The data points are prepared by applying the points in a graphic phase space representation as a diagnostics. The phase space coordinates are used as function of the glucose concentration and/or its temporal derivatives, and the rate of change of the glucose concentration and the coordinates with delay time of 15 to 30 minutes. The increased density of the data points in the representation are colored. The investigation further comprises determining an interference parameter by a statistic evaluation of the data points and correlated with the weight of an interference of the glucose metabolism and lies in a given environment of a control point. The interference parameter correlates with the probability of a diabetes disease. An independent claim is included for a system to carry out the above glucose metabolism investigation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for the non-surgical clipping of aneurysms. The invention also includes methods of use to treat aneurysms, including intracranial aneurysms. The aneurysm is clipped by positioning a wire comprising a shape memory alloy, pre-set to a mutually twisted conformation, on opposite sides of the neck of the aneurysm and causing the wires to twist around each other. Thus, the aneurysm neck is substantially closed. The resulting thrombosis in the aneurysm further excludes the aneurysm from blood flow and pressure.
