Inventor: WESTERMANN SOREN ERIK
IPC: H04R25/00

Granted: 2007-05-02
Abstract: The application relates to an in-situ method to measure and correct or adjust sound signal presented to the eardrum by means of a hearing aid and a hearing aid employing such a method. The hearing aid comprises at least one microphone ( 1 ), at least one digital signal processor ( 2 ) for transforming the microphone signal into a transformed signal according to a desired transformation function, a receiver ( 3 ), a sensing means ( 4 ) for sensing the sound signal appearing in front of the eardrum and at least one comparison mans ( 5 ). A model of the electroacoustic system of the ear and the hearing aid is established and stored in the hearing aid, which model simulates the sound signal in the ear canal in front of the eardrum. The model is adapted in response of an error signal generated in case the difference between the representation of the sensed signal and the simulated sound signal and the simulated sound signal is above a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A component (1) consists of an electrically conductive ceramic, in particular, a filter element, which is penetrable by a flow through its pores, and is provided with contact regions for attachment of electrodes. An electrically conductive metal is infiltrated into the contact regions (10, 11, 12, 13). An Independent claim is also included for a method for producing contact regions by infiltrating an electrically conductive metal into these contact regions. Preferred Features: The ceramic consists of a metal and ceramic compound, whose metal constituent is the same as the infiltrated metal. The ceramic of the contact layers is the same as the material of the main body of the component. The contact layers have finer bores than the main body of the component. The contact layers can be at least partially pressed into the main body of the component. Component consists of a main body (2) and a connector body (3) joined to one another. Both have the same ceramic as a basic material. The two bodies are joined by active soldering, high temperature soldering or diffusion welding. Alternatively they are joined by means of an electrically conductive connector layer. The metal infiltrated into the connector layer is partially also infiltrated into the main body of the component. For infiltration the metal is heated at least up to its melting point. Infiltration takes place in vacuum or under a protective gas. For infiltration a mixture is used in which the metal content is above the stoichiometric ratio, so that at the reaction temperature only a part of it is converted into an electrically conductive ceramic component. The connector bodies are attached to the ends of the main body (2) of the component.

Abstract: An environmentally friendly stable aqueous optionally structured water-resistant architectural coating composition (especially a paint) containing a film-forming binder polymer composed of a starch modified by the presence of carboxylic acid or inorganic carboxylate groups and bonded (probably grafted) to chains of copolymerised mono-ethylenically unsaturated monomers (e.g. "acrylic", "vinyl" or "styrenic" copolymers) permitting a stable aqueous dispersion of the binder polymer to be made which retains good water-resistance in the dried paint. The modified starch allows paints to be made with less dependence on materials obtained from non-renewable resources whilst retaining a low water-sensitivity.

Abstract: A method is provided for joining a microchip device to a capillary tube. The microchip device has a capillary channel opening onto an edge surface of the device. A short hole is drilled into the edge surface, aligned with the capillary channel. The drilling is done with a flat bottom, preferably by a two-step drilling process. Then, the end of the capillary can be inserted into the hole so that its end is substantially flush with the flat bottom of the hole, thereby eliminating dead volume. Testing has shown that this connection provides very little band broadening of samples transported through the capillary channel into the capillary tube. The tip of the capillary tube can be tapered, so that it is suitable for use as an electrospray source for a mass spectrometer.

Abstract: Techniques for protecting the security of digital representations, and of analog forms made from them. The techniques include authentication techniques that can authenticate both a digital representation and an analog form produced from the digital representation, an active watermark that contains program code that may be executed when the watermark is read, and a watermark agent that reads watermarks and sends messages with information concerning the digital representations that contain the watermarks. The authentication techniques use semantic information to produce authentication information. Both the semantic information and the authentication information survive when an analog form is produced from the digital representation. In one embodiment, the semantic information is alphanumeric characters and the authentication information is either contained in a watermark embedded in the digital representation or expressed as a bar code. With the active watermark, the watermark includes program code. When a watermark reader reads the watermark, it may cause the program code to be executed. One application of active watermarks is making documents that send messages when they are operated on. A watermark agent may be either a permanent resident of a node in a network or of a device such as a copier or it may move from one network node to another. In the device or node, the watermark agent executes code which examines digital representations residing in the node or device for watermarked digital representations that are of interest to the watermark agent. The watermark agent then sends messages which report the results of its examination of the digital representations. If the watermarks are active, the agent and the active watermark may cooperate an the agent may cause some or all of the code than an active watermark contains to be executed.
