Title: Cadmium sulfoselenide surface-mountable optocoupler
Inventor: LACROIX MARC
IPC: G02B6/42
Filed: 2002-12-06
Abstract: The invention concerns an optocoupler. The optocoupler includes a substrate made of optically opaque electrically insulating material metallized to provide conductive traces on a top surface thereof which are electrically linked to metal pads on a bottom surface. A cadmium sulfoselenide photoresistor having an active surface is placed over the substrate with the active surface facing the substrate where the photoresistor has two electrodes. Metal leads connect each of the two electrodes of the photoresistor to two metallized traces on the substrate. A  light emitting diode (LED) chip is mounted on the substrate facing the active surface of the photoresistor. The LED chip has a top and bottom electrode, where the bottom electrode is electrically attached to a third metallized trace and the top electrode is wire bonded to a fourth metallized trace. A cover made of optically opaque material is fixed to the substrate so as to enclose the photoresistor and the LED chip in a light tight enclosure. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the photoresistor and the LED chip can lie side by side and be in optical communication with each other through a reflective coating on the inside of the cover.

Patent CA-2434889-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STARKEY ANDREW
IPC: G06N3/08
Filed: 2002-01-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a selection process for input parameters intended for application to an intelligent processing system such as a neural network, or in the implementation of an intensive data handling operation, such as data mining. The selection process involves producing an indication of the state of organisation of the parameters and selecting them for use in the processing system or data handling operation if their state of organisation is indicated to be sufficient. If the state of organisation of the parameters is not deemed sufficient, their various influences are automatically determined and at least one parameter tending to disturb the state of organisation is rejected. A  revised indication of the state of organisation of the remaining parameters is then produced, and the selection process is repeated until either a satisfactory indication is produced, at which point the relevant parameters are applied to the processing system or data handling operation, or insufficient parameters remain to produce a reliable indication.

Title: Bone conduction hearing aid
Inventor: SCHUMAIER DANIEL R
IPC: H04R3/02
Filed: 2002-01-14
Abstract: A bone conduction hearing aid (10) includes a vibration (16) carried by the insertion end (14) of the hearing aid (10). When the hearing aid (10) is inserted into the ear canal (12) of a patient, the vibrator (16) is positioned in the ear canal (12) adjacent the mastoid bone (18). A microphone (24) receives sound waves and outputs a microphone signal to the hearing aid electronics (34) where the microphone signal is amplified and then sent to the vibrator (16), causing the vibrator (16) to vibrate. Vibrations produced by the vibrator (16) are transferred to the opposite cochlea by way of the mastoid bone (18), enabling enhanced hearing perception in patients with hearing loss in one ear. Transfer of vibrations to the bones of the middle ear also assists patients with conductive pathology in one ear. The hearing aid (10) may also function to enhance communication in high noise environments.  Feedback from the vibrator (16) to the microphone (24) is eliminated electronically. Various alternate forms of feedback elimination are also contemplated by the invention.
