  • Patent number: 10959028
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10577748
    Abstract: A tissue paper web composed of one or more layers. At least one layer includes pulp fibers originating from at least one plant belonging to the genus Miscanthus wherein the pulp fibers are selected from chemical pulp fibers, mechanical pulp fibers subjected to a chemical pretreatment and mixtures thereof. The use of Miscanthus pulp fibers can lead to a major absolute increase in tensile strength along with good softness values.

  • Patent number: 10142744
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10097935
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20100272965
    Abstract: 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).

  • Patent number: 7258764
    Abstract: Soft and strong cellulose-based fibrous web, comprises a) cellulosic fibres having a freeness value of more than 26° SR measured according to DIN-ISO 5267/1 (March 1999), b) a water-soluble cationic polymer, c) a water-soluble anionic polymer, and d) a cationic surfactant-based softener. The webs are prepared by refining cellulosic fibres to a degree of freeness of more than 26° SR measured according to DIN-ISO 5267/1, adding at least one water-soluble anionic polymer and water-soluble cationic polymer to the refined cellulosic fibres, adding a cationic surfactant-based softener to the cellulosic fibres obtained thereby, and wet-laying and dewatering the celulosic fibres obtained thereby.
