Patent number: 11474675Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for providing a virtual control panel for a controlled device using a controller connected to the controlled device via a near-field communications (NFC) connection. The controlled device may include a transfer memory that is connected to a wireless (NFC) port and a wired port, the wired port being coupled to other internal memory of the controlled device. The controlled device may write parameter data to the transfer memory via the wired port, which is later transmitted to the controller via the NFC connection for presentation via a user interface. The controller may receive (e.g., while the controller is connected or disconnected from the controlled device) adjustments to configurable parameters of the parameter data and transmit the adjustments to the transfer memory via the wireless port for updating the internal memory of the controlled device and thereby adjusting operation of the controlled device.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2021Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Inventors: Michael Mueller, David Corrigan, Rob Johnson, Grayson Silaski

Patent number: 9480418Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring or testing the hearing of a user using a portable unit include presenting a plurality of test frequencies for selection by a user and storing data about those frequencies, and the user's response to stimuli presented at those frequencies, and comparing the stored data to previously acquired hearing data. Using mathematical prediction algorithms, changes in baseline hearing values can be used to identify potential hearing issues, especially hearing issues associated with ototoxicity.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2016Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: The United States of America As Represented By The Department Of Veterans AffairsInventors: Stephen Fausti, Roger Ellingson, Wendy Helt, Peter Jacobs, Grayson Silaski, Debra Wilmington, Samuel Gordon, Marilyn Dille, Garnett McMillan, Kelly Reavis, Dawn Martin

Patent number: 8870786Abstract: Methods, articles of manufacture, and systems for evaluating tinnitus are disclosed herein. According to various embodiments, a tinnitus evaluation system may include a tinnitus evaluation module configured to perform one or more tinnitus evaluation tests. A tinnitus evaluation test may comprise generating a first single-frequency sound based at least in part on a sound of a patient's tinnitus, and generating a narrow-band sound centered at the frequency of the first single-frequency sound. Tests include a hearing threshold test, a loudness match test, a pitch match test, a bandwidth match test, a minimum masking level test, and a residual inhibition test.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2013Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignees: Oregon Health & Science University, The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of The Department of Veterans AffairsInventors: James A.

Publication number: 20050038331Abstract: A sensing system for determining the concentration of an analyte inside an animal body. The system includes an in vivo portion that is adapted to reside inside the animal body and that includes a sensing element that produces a sensing signal. In addition, a wearable ex vivo portion is physically attached to the in vivo portion. The ex vivo portion includes a first inductor that is adapted to receive a varying electro-magnetic signal and that has a pair of terminals. A variable load assembly presents a load across the pair of terminals and varies the load in response to the sensing signal. Also, an electronic monitoring unit is physically separate from the ex vivo portion and includes a second inductor, which is magnetically coupled to the first inductor and is adapted to transmit a varying electro-magnetic signal and to detect changes in load across the terminals of the first inductor.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2003Publication date: February 17, 2005Inventors: Grayson Silaski, Jonathan Birck
