  • Publication number: 20180353671
    Abstract: A dialysis machine, in particular a peritoneal dialysis machine, with one or more of the following components: at least one receptacle, in particular a bag, to receive fresh or used dialysate, at least one tubing set to conduct a liquid, in particular dialysate, at least one patient catheter for the uptake and/or discharge of dialysate into or from the patient's abdominal cavity, whereby at least one of the components is provided with at least one sensor designed to measure at least one parameter value of the dialysate and which is also designed to transmit the parameter value to at least one receiver.

  • Patent number: 9866974
    Abstract: A method operates a hearing device system that contains a hearing device and a database system, which is separate from the hearing device and is set up for communication with the hearing device. The method includes ascertaining a piece of location information for a current position of the hearing device and the location information is transmitted to the database. The database then ascertains whether an electronic device that is separate from the hearing device is situated at a prescribed physical distance from the hearing device. The presence of the separate electronic device within the prescribed physical distance is taken as a basis by the database system for creating for the hearing device a parameter set that contains a number of parameters pertaining to the signal processing of audible signals in the hearing device. This parameter set is used by the hearing device for the purpose of signal processing.

  • Publication number: 20170013373
    Abstract: In a method for signal processing in a hearing device, an acoustic noise signal is received by a microphone of the hearing device and processed by a signal processing unit of the hearing device for output to a hearing device user. An electromagnetic information signal is received by a receiving unit of the hearing device. From this information signal, a piece of information about an acoustic interference signal which is contained in the acoustic noise signal is derived. This piece of information is taken into account during the processing of the acoustic noise signal for reducing the acoustic interference signal.
