Filed: 2000-12-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring the radial gap (10) between the rotor (6) and the stator (8) of an electric generator (2). The aim of the invention is to provide a method that allows an especially reliable analysis of the shape of the radial gap (10) during operation of the generator (2). To this end, a measuring cycle is carried out in the stationary and balanced operating mode of the generator at defined intervals. In every measuring cycle, current parameters (120) of the radial gap (10) are determined from current marginal values (50) of the generator (2), from current influential values (80) of the generator (2) and from current measuring data (100). These parameters are used to determine and evaluate the shape of the radial gap (10) and the distance between the rotor (6) and the stator (8) by comparing them with reference parameters. The inventive method allows to better predict when repairs have to be made.

Title: Method for processing an input signal for producing an output signal and an application of said method in hearing aids and devices
Inventor: ROECK HANS-UELI
IPC: H03G7/00
Filed: 2001-08-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for determining a threshold value (Omax, Omin, OTR) for limiting an output signal of a processing unit to which an input signal is delivered. According to the invention, a level of the input signal is determined and the threshold value (Omax, Omin, OTR) is adjusted in accordance with this level. The adjustment of the threshold value according to the level of the input signal, i.e. the adaptive adjustment of the threshold value, enables transient noises at a level clearly below the maximum value for the threshold value to be limited as well. The use of the inventive method and the inventive device in a hearing aid can therefore significantly increase the comfort of the wearer.
