Title: A multi-function hearing aid having in-situ testing, fitting and verification functions
Inventor: HOU ZEZHANG
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 2010-05-11
Abstract: When the hearing aid is configured for in-situ testing normalized test stimuli are generated to obtain the intended hearing profile such as THL, MCL, or UCL via level control 44, sent to the D/A converter 22 and delivered to user's ear through the hearing aid receiver 24. Since the test is conducted with hearing aid in the place exactly how it will be worn by the user, the effect of the size of pinna and ear canal, as well as hearing aid size and shape, are already considered in the results. Since the test stimuli are normalized, the results are effectively in reference to the free field sounds, which are the common reference for all people. The hearing aid is said to solve problems long standing in the art of hearing aid fitting dealing with individual size differences in the size of the pinna and ear canal of the user, individual preference to sound level and frequency variation, and verification procedures.

Title: Mosfet with recessed channel film and abrupt junctions
Inventor: CHENG KANGGUO
IPC: H01L21/84
Filed: 2012-03-07
Abstract: MOSFETs and methods for making MOSFETs with a recessed channel and abrupt junctions are disclosed. The method includes creating source and drain extensions while a dummy gate is in place. The source/drain extensions create a diffuse junction with the silicon substrate. The method continues by removing the dummy gate and etching a recess in the silicon substrate. The recess intersects at least a portion of the source and drain junction. Then a channel is formed by growing a silicon film to at least partially fill the recess. The channel has sharp junctions with the source and drains, while the unetched silicon remaining below the channel has diffuse junctions with the source and drain. Thus, a MOSFET with two junction regions, sharp and diffuse, in the same transistor can be created.

Title: Vacuum producer
Inventor: JACKSON JOHN
IPC: B01F15/02
Filed: 2014-02-18
Abstract: A device when in use is submerged in flowing body of liquid. The device is shaped like a cone and the body of liquid flows externally around the cone from the small end longitudinally to the bigger end. At the bigger end the surface ceases and sheer forces take effect to produce cavitation. Preferably a pipe is connected to the small end of the cone. Additionally the external surface of the cone may have spiral fins (fig.2) or grooves (fig.3) causing the flowing body of liquid to rotate, vortex effect, thus effectively elongating the cone and producing a larger cavitation and vacuum effect. Arrays of cones (fig.4) can be made for varying continuous depth of flows to increase the overall vacuum produced.

IPC: H02K53/00
Filed: 2014-06-12
Abstract: A gravity oscillating system comprises a looped track 4 around which a moving mass travels freely and which is supported from above or below to gyrate as the mass travels around. A power transfer mechanism 7 is linked to the track 4 and an electrical generator/dynamo 8 so that track oscillations 4 are used to generate electrical power. An electromagnetic drive comprising a plurality of electromagnets 9b in an array around the track 4 are momentarily energized to move the track 4 down ahead of the rolling mass. The electromagnets 9b when energized may attract a corresponding counter-part magnet or magnetisable element 9a on the track 4 to pull that part of the track downwards. A controller may automatically control operation of the electromagnets 9b so that each is on for a brief period or pulse to assist movement of the track 4 around the region of influence of the next electromagnet 9b in the array before it is energized. The power transfer mechanism 7 may comprise at least one crank pin 7b and linkage 7a that touches a surface of the track to follow its downward motion as it oscillates.
