Title: Preprogrammed hearing assistance device with program selection using a multipurpose control device
Inventor: SCHUMAIER DANIEL R
IPC: H04R3/04
Filed: 2010-10-12
Abstract: A user programmable hearing aid allows a user to select acoustical configuration programs that provide optimum performance for the user. The user may cycle through and evaluate various available programs by operating a single digital rocker switch on the hearing aid housing to switch from one program to the next. When a preferred program is active, the user can press and hold an up control or down control of the digital rocker switch for an extended time to select the currently active program. The user can then use the digital rocker switch to adjust the audio gain for the selected program. The hearing aid may also operate in a Configuration Mode wherein configuration settings may be changed by operating the up and down controls of the digital rocker switch. In the Configuration Mode, a clinician or patient may easily change configuration settings manually, with no need to connect the apparatus to a computer or other programming interface.

Abstract: The floating system is a mechanism which consists of flexible and semi-rigid systems. It is allocated between a vehicle (including its frame) and a vehicle seat situated within that vehicle. The vehicle seat and the vehicle (including its frame) are physically detached from each other and interconnected by the floating system.   The constituent components, their configuration and connections of the floating system are designed to damp, detour and absorb impact energy that is reaching and travelling through the floating system and thus the floating system acts as a buffer zone between the vehicle and its seat at a time of and during the impact.   The floating system is inactive under normal vehicle use and its function is to support the vehicle seat while being supported by the vehicle (its frame). Once the impact energy is generated and reaches the floating system, the floating system is or its components are then being activated and thus reduce the impact energy as it travels through the floating system before it reaches the vehicle seat.

Abstract: A technique for simultaneously transmitting wide and narrow optical beacon signals includes generating a laser beam and splitting the laser beam into a first signal on a first path and a second signal on a second path via a wavelength-dependent beamsplitter.  A wide beacon signal having a first beam divergence is generated from the first signal, and a narrow beacon signal having a second, lesser beam divergence is generated from the second signal.  The wavelength of the laser beam determines an allocation of the laser energy between the wide and narrow beacon signals based on transmittance/reflectance characteristic of the beamsplitter at that wavelength. The wide and narrow beacon signals are simultaneously transmitted in a overlaid manner into free space to support acquisition and tracking in a free--space optical communication system. The beamsplitter can simultaneously transmit or reflect substantially all of a data signal at a different wavelength.

Title: Improved electric valve lift mechanism
Inventor: BRIA MICHAEL P
IPC: F23G7/06
Filed: 2009-08-13
Abstract: A valve lift mechanism for actuating a valve in the vertical direction, and a regenerative thermal oxidizer including the valve and lift mechanism is disclosed. The valve is allowed to move vertically and oscillating rotary motion is possible.  Vertical movement is achieved using the valve lift mechanism without the use of compressed air. In certain embodiments, the valve lift mechanism includes a torque motor. Preferably, a screw jack is used to adjust the vertical height of the valve.    Vertical movement can reduce the torque needed to rotate the valve, and also facilitates servicing of the valve. For example, if the valve experiences high temperature, and consequently expands, rotating the valve against the mating seal plate can be difficult, if not impossible. By lowering the valve slightly, the frictional forces between the valve and the mating seal plate are reduced, allowing freer rotational movement of the valve.

Title: Mobility management based on radio link failure reporting
Inventor: AGASHE PARAG A
IPC: H04W24/00
Filed: 2009-11-16
Abstract: A communication node determines that radio link failure occurred during connected state mobility of an access terminal and reports the radio link failure to another communication node. For example, a target access point may determine that radio link failure occurred during handover of an access terminal and send a radio link failure report message to the access point that was previously serving the access terminal or to some other node (e.g., a network node). In the first case, the serving access point may adjust mobility parameters based on this radio link failure information and, optionally, other reported radio link failure information. In the second case, the other node may send a radio link failure report message to the serving access point, or the other node may adjust mobility parameters based on this radio link failure information (and, optionally, other reported radio link failure information) and send the adjusted mobility parameters to the serving access point.
