Patent number: 10959028Abstract: A hearing device has an acceleration sensor that is positioned on the head of a hearing device wearer in the intended worn state, is configured for measurement in two mutually orthogonal measurement axes and is operated by virtue of at least one main feature related to an acceleration directed tangentially in relation to the head being derived from an acceleration signal of the acceleration sensor. The at least one main feature is used to ascertain a presence of a yaw movement of the head by taking into consideration at least one prescribed criterion, derivable from the acceleration signal itself, beyond the presence of an acceleration value of the tangentially directed acceleration that is indicative of a movement.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Sivantos Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Tobias Wurzbacher, Thomas Kuebert, Dirk Mauler

Patent number: 10142744Abstract: A method operates a hearing device. The hearing device contains two acceleration sensors, which each provide a sensor signal and by which an orientation of the head of the user is established. The sensor signals of both acceleration sensors are used in combination for establishing the orientation, and an operating parameter of the hearing device is set depending on the orientation.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2017Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Sivantos Pte.

Patent number: 10097935Abstract: A hearing device is physically adjusted to suit a hearing device wearer. A position sensor of the hearing device is used to ascertain a characteristic measure of a current actual wearing position of the hearing device. The characteristic measure of the actual wearing position is then taken as a basis for ascertaining a discrepancy between the actual wearing position and a prescribed desired wearing position. On the basis of this discrepancy, an instruction is output to the hearing device wearer to adjust the receiver connector based on the ascertained discrepancy.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Sivantos Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Dirk Mauler, Luis Ignacio Martinez Azkorra

Publication number: 20100272965Abstract: Method and device for producing a printed and embossed multi-ply web (3) of tissue paper or nonwoven having a good visual appearance. A first web-shaped material (1) is embossed in a nip (6) between a first embossing roll (4) and a counter roll (5), thereby creating a set of embossments. A first ink with a first colour is applied to a first subset of the set of embossments of the first web-shaped material while the material still resides on the first embossing roll. Thereafter an adhesive is applied to a second subset of the set of embossments of the first web-shaped material (1) while the material still resides on the first embossing roll (4). After that, the first web-shaped material is combined with a second web-shaped material (2) to form a multi-ply web (3). There is also provided a printed and embossed multi-ply web (3).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2007Publication date: October 28, 2010Applicant: SCA HYGIENE PRODUCTS GMBHInventors: Wolfram Schinkoreit, Jurgen Sauter, Dirk Mauler
