Inventor: MCSWEENEY BENJAMIN ADAM
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 2004-12-02
Abstract: A tinnitus method and device for providing relief to a person suffering from the disturbing effects of tinnitus is described. The method can be implemented entirely in software to spectrally modify an audio signal in accordance with a predetermined masking algorithm which modifies the intensity of the audio signal at selected frequencies. A predetermined masking algorithm is described which provides intermittent masking of the tinnitus wherein, at a comfortable listening level, during peaks of the audio signal the tinnitus is completely obscured, whereas during troughs the perception of the tinnitus occasionally emerges. In practice it has been found that such intermittent masking provides an immediate sense of relief, control and relaxation for the person, whilst enabling sufficient perception of the tinnitus for habituation and long term treatment to occur. Advantageously the predetermined masking algorithm is specifically tailored to the audiometric configuration of the person. For example, the masking algorithm may be partly tailored to the hearing loss characteristic of the person. A tinnitus rehabilitation device used in conjunction with a personal sound reproducing system is also described.

Title: A system for managing operating sessions of an executable application
Inventor: LAWRENCE BRIAN
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2005-04-11
Abstract: A system manages operating sessions of an executable application initiated via a browser application on a workstation. The system includes a detector, a monitor, a communicator, and a command processor. The detector detects initiation of a first operational session of an executable application on a workstation, wherein the initiation occurs in response to user activation of a displayed URL link. The monitor determines whether a previously initiated second operational session of the executable application is concurrently operational on the workstation by comparing a portion of the URL with stored data representing one or more URLs corresponding to one or more executable applications currently operational on the workstation. The command processor redirects the first operational session to a URL of the previously initiated second operational session of the executable application in response to a URL  match determined by the comparison. The communicator terminates establishment of the first operational session.

Inventor: LANGEDER RUDOLF
IPC: B21B31/32
Filed: 2005-06-16
Abstract: For many applications, high adjustment forces are required for pressure-medium cylinders. The dynamics of said cylinders are often impaired as a result of large piston cross-sections and cylinder volumes and/or the pressure medium has to be supplied at very high pressure.
