Publication number: 20230226296Abstract: Forms of the technology provide a patient interface for supplying a flow of air at a therapeutic pressure to a patient's airways. The patient interface may comprise a cushion module comprising a cushion, wherein the cushion is constructed and configured to be substantially flexible, and may further comprise a brace. The brace may be configured to mount to a nasal portion of the cushion and, in use, to brace against movement of portions of the seal-forming structure in sealing engagement with regions of the patient's face proximate the patient's nares. Additionally, or alternatively, when the brace is mounted to a nasal portion of the cushion module, the nasal portion may be deformed relative to a natural shape of the nasal portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2022Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventor: Beng Hai TAN

Patent number: 8139800Abstract: A hearing apparatus is to be provided, with which the battery can be exchanged in an almost wear-free fashion. Provision is thus made to magnetically attach a battery compartment or a battery holding device in the housing of the hearing apparatus or hearing device. The battery holding device is inserted into an opening in the housing. A detachable magnetic connection realized by magnetic elements thus exists between the housing and the battery holding device, the principle force component of which runs in the insertion direction. It is thus possible to dispense with plug or snap connections for instance.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2008Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Siemens Audiologische Technik GmbHInventors: Wai Kit David Ho, Wee Haw Koo, Beng Hai Tan
