Abstract: Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, den Naturschall und den Hörgeräteschall gemeinsam innerhalb des menschlichen Ohres für einen natürlichen Höreindruck zu nutzen und eine Hörtrainingsbeschallung für das Hörtraining zu schaffen.  Das erfindungsgemäße Hörgerät bzw. Hörtrainingsgerät insbesondere für Frauen arbeitet mit einem schwebenden Gehörgangszapfen (1). Der schwebende Gehörgangszapfen (1) besitzt eine konische Form, wobei der Durchmesser kontinuierlich in Richtung Trommelfell (2) abnimmt und somit einen Bypass (3) in Form einer hornartigen Erweiterung für die Schallwellen zwischen Gehörgangszapfen (1) und Gehörgangswandung (4) darstellt.  Das Verfahren zur Erzeugung hoher Frequenzen mittels eines Hörgerätes unter Nutzung schwebender Gehörgangszapfen (1) nutzt den natürliche Schall und den durch das Hörgerät verstärkten Schall und mischt diese im Gehörgang (6), wobei beide Schallkomponenten zueinander keine zeitliche Verzögerung besitzen und die Verstärkung ohne Frequenzveränderungen erfolgt.

Abstract: Part A: An occupant support comprises a support layer and a turn assist layer below the support layer. The turn assist layer includes a left side array of two or more longitudinally distributed turn assist members and a right side array of two or more longitudinally distributed turn assist members. The occupant support also includes a controller configured to inflate at least one turn assist member of a selected one of the left and right arrays and to subsequently deflate a subset of the more than one turn assist member, in response to at least one user command. A related method of providing access to a target region of an occupant of a mattress and/or of the mattress itself comprises inflating at least one turn assist member of a selected one of the left and right arrays and subsequently deflating a subset of the at least one turn assist member. 
Part B: An occupant support, for example a mattress, comprises a turn assist layer which includes a left side array of two or more longitudinally distributed turn assist members. Each member of the array comprises one or more longitudinally distributed turn assist bladders. At least two of the array members are longitudinally spaced from each other by a left intermember reach-in space having a left intermember dimension. The occupant support also comprises a similar right side array of turn assist members. A related method of providing access to a target region of the mattress or of an occupant of the mattress comprises inflating at least one turn assist zone so that the inflated zone exhibits a lateral variation in height which increases with increasing lateral distance from the centerline of the occupant support and maintaining inflation of the inflated turn assist zone for a user determined period of time. 
Part C: A mattress comprises a turn layer comprising left and right turn effectors, a support layer atop the turn effectors, and left and right bolsters bordering the left and right sides of the support layer. An associated method of relieving loading on an occupant of the mattress comprises turning the occupant laterally in a first turn direction and maintaining the occupant in an orientation resulting from the turning in the first turn direction for a predefined first interval of time while supporting the occupant against lateral translation in a first translational direction. Another method of relieving loading on the occupant comprises turning the occupant laterally in a first turn direction and maintaining the occupant in an orientation resulting from the turning in the first turn direction for a predefined first interval of time and relaxing interface pressure along at least a portion of the length of the occupant during at least part of the first interval. Yet another mattress comprises a turn layer comprising left and right turn effectors, a support layer atop the turn effectors, and a center tie adapted to apply a counterforce to the support layer laterally between the left and right turn effectors.

IPC: A61F5/00
Filed: 2011-10-18
Abstract: A variety of passive intragastric implant devices for obesity treatment are disclosed. Such passive implants do not autonomously change shape, but instead react within the stomach to induce satiety. The implants may take up volume within the stomach, thus reducing the digestive capacity. Additionally, the implants may contact areas within the stomach, such as the cardia surrounding the esophageal sphincter, to stimulate satiety-inducing nerves. Also, a number of implants slow gastric emptying by blocking or otherwise impeding flow through the pyloric sphincter. Other implants delay digestion by providing a duodenal sleeve. A number of implants combine two or more of these satiety-inducing features. Methods of implant are disclosed including compressing the implants within a delivery tube and transorally advancing the implants through the esophagus to be deployed within the stomach. Removal of the implants occurs in the reverse.

Filed: 2017-12-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a heating- or cooling- and/or ventilation- and/or air-conditioning (HVAC)-apparatus, a corresponding control unit and possible uses of the control unit. The method for controlling the HVAC-apparatus is based on a control loop. The control loop starts off with calculating a quantity indicative of a thermal sensation of a user from at least one user-specific parameter and data from at least one sensor. Afterwards a deviation of this quantity from a value indicative of a target thermal sensation is computed. In the end the control loop outputs a control variable correlating with this deviation to the heating- or cooling- and/or ventilation- and/or air-conditioning-apparatus. During this cycle the control loop utilizes at least a body fat ratio of a user as the at least one user-specific parameter and a room air temperature as data from the at least one sensor.
