Title: External hearing aids
Inventor: MANCUSO FRANCESCO F M
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 2004-11-18
Abstract: The invention essentially consists of a new type of hearing aids in which all components, including the loudspeakers, will be located externally to the ears. This will permit the use of relatively large size components, which will ensure that sounds are captured, amplified and delivered to the hearing membranes with a sufficiently high level of energy and fidelity in the entire frequency spectrum of human speech. For instance, the use of large size loudspeakers is essential to the reproduction of sound particularly at the lower frequency range whose wavelength exceeds the physical size of the miniature loudspeakers used in existing hearing aids that are either inserted inside or located behind the users' ears. The external hearing aids will also use existing technologically advanced microphone arrows that when combined with sophisticated electronic circuitry, already available in the market, will permit achieving good sound reception and valuable noise suppression.

Patent CA-2530944-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LITTLE HERBERT A
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2004-11-26
Abstract: A challenge response scheme includes the authentication of a requesting device by an authenticating device. The authenticating device generates a challenge that is issued to the requesting device. The requesting device combines the challenge with a hash of a password provided by a user of the requesting device, and the combination of the hash of the password and the challenge is further hashed in order to generate a requesting encryption key that is used to encrypt the user supplied password. The encrypted user supplied password is sent to the authenticating device as a response to the issued challenge. The authenticating device generates an authenticating encryption key by generating the hash of a combination of the challenge and a stored hash of an authenticating device password. The authenticating encryption key is used to decrypt the response in order to retrieve the user-supplied password. If a hash of the user-supplied password matches the stored hash of the authenticating device password, then the requesting device has been authenticated and the authenticating device is in possession of the password.
