Title: Method and apparatus for noise reduction, particularly in hearing aids
Inventor: BRENNAN ROBERT
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 1998-04-16
Abstract: A hearing aid includes noise reduction, and addresses the problem that, in noisy conditions, it is difficult for hearing impaired individuals to hear. Under light noise conditions, conventional hearing aids amplify the input signal sufficiency to overcome the hearing loss. For a typical sloping hearing loss where there is a loss in high frequency hearing sensitivity, the amount of boost (or gain) rises with frequency. Most frequently, the loss in sensitivity is only for low-level signals; high level signals are affective minimally or not al all. A compression hearing aid is able to compensate by automatically lowering the gain as the input signal level rises. This compression action is usually comprised under noisy conditions. In general, hearing aids are of lesser benefit under noisy conditions since both noise and speech are boosted together when what is really required is a reduction of the noise relative to the speech. A noise reduction algorithm with the dual purpose of enhancing speech relative to noise and also providing a relatively clean signal for the compression circuitry is described.

IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2001-08-13
Abstract: A method and system for use in treating a patient receiving an anticoagulant or a substance containing warfarin to optimize therapy and prevent an adverse drug response. The system performs the steps shown in blocks (10, 12) of the flow chart. The system employs surrogate markers or indicators including blood levels of the anticoagulant to determine the next required dose for a patient.  Because the surrogate markers are employed as a percent change in status, virtually any indicator can be used. Surrogate markers could include any measure of effectiveness of the anticoagulant's action. Given the effectiveness of the anticoagulant's action relative to the surrogate markers, a change in anticoagulant dose is calculated by the system. Conversely, by employing this system, one could determine the expected result of the anticoagulant dose change on the surrogate markers.
