Le revêtement peut inclure de petites particules principalement non densifiées qui peuvent avoir une taille inférieure à environ 1 μm. Ces matériaux peuvent avoir une émissivité supérieure à 0,8 ou 0,9. De tels matériaux peuvent être utilisés pour former des émetteurs infrarouges qui peuvent fournir un rendement énergétique supérieur et une durée de vie de fonctionnement prolongée en comparaison aux émetteurs non revêtus. Des surfaces revêtues avec de petites particules peuvent être utilisées dans d'ultérieures applications telles que des surfaces catalytiques ou réactives, des composants de moteur ou des surfaces d'atténuation acoustique.

Title: Method for elimination of feedback and for spectral expansion in hearing aids
Inventor: KORNAGEL ULRICH
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 2007-04-17
Abstract: The method involves determining a feedback-endangered frequency range. An input signal is received with a spectral portion in the frequency range. The known spectral portion of the input signal is reduced. The reduced spectral portion is mixed with a synthetic signal, in such a manner that in the spectral region, the efficiency of the entire signal corresponds to the efficiency before the reduction. The synthetic signal is produced by frequency shift from the input signal. A spectral envelope of the mixed signal is corrected with the help of linear predictive coding analysis. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a hearing device with feedback suppression device (2) a method for providing the spectral expansion in a hearing device.

Abstract: A method for forming a compound film includes the steps of preparing a source material, depositing the source material on a base and forming a preparatory film from the source material, heating the preparatory film in a suitable atmosphere to form a precursor film, and providing suitable material to said precursor film to form the compound film. The source material includes oxide-containing particles including Group IB and IIIA elements. The precursor film includes non-oxide Group IB and IIIA elements. The compound film includes a Group IB-IIIA-VIA compound. The oxides may constitute greater than about 95 molar percent of the Group IB elements and greater than about 95 molar percent of the Group IIIA elements in the source material. Similarly, non-oxides may constitute greater than about 95 molar percent of the Group IB elements and greater than about 95 molar percent of the Group IIIA elements in the precursor film. The molar ratio of Group IB to Group IIIA elements in the source material may be greater than about 0.6 and less than about 1.0, or substantially greater that 1.0, in which case this ratio in the compound film may be reduced to greater than about 0.6 and less than about 1.0. The source material may be prepared as an ink from particles in powder form. The oxide-containing particles may include a dopant, as may the compound film. Compound films including a Group IIB-IVA-VA compound may be substituted using appropriate substitutions in the method. The method, also, is applicable to fabrication of solar cells and other electronic devices.
