Patents by Inventor Ibrahim Bouchataoui

Ibrahim Bouchataoui has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9623254
    Abstract: A method and system for fitting and adjusting the operation of an acoustic hearing prosthesis or a hybrid electric and acoustic hearing prosthesis. A graphic user interface allows for the acoustic and electric fitting parameters to be viewed and adjusted in a comparable way. The method further allows for the parameters for acoustic stimulation of the acoustic channels to be adjusted in response to behavioral or objective measurement of response to known stimuli, so as to achieve a desired response curve.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 15, 2015
    Date of Patent: April 18, 2017
    Assignee: Cochlear Limited
    Inventors: Christopher J. James, Ibrahim Bouchataoui, Mattheus J. P. Killian, Koen Van den Heuvel
  • Patent number: 9319807
    Abstract: A system includes an earhook having a connector for coupling to a behind-the-ear component of a hearing prosthesis. The earhook further includes a transducer and combined electromagnetic (EM) and magnetic induction (MI) antenna circuitry coupled to the transducer. The combined EM and MI antenna circuitry also includes an electrically conductive portion of the transducer and at least one inductor.

  • Publication number: 20130006328
    Abstract: A cochlear prosthesis comprising an electrical signal analyser configured to process a first frequency sub-range of a detected sound signal for electric stimulation of the cochlea, and a delay circuit configured to impose a delay on at least one of an electrical signal delivery path and an acoustic signal delivery path, to provide for delivery of the electrical stimulation to the cochlea at a desired time relative to a time of arrival of acoustic stimuli at the cochlea, wherein the acoustic stimuli arriving at the cochlea and the electrical stimulation delivered to the cochlea at the desired time substantially simultaneously stimulate the cochlea.

  • Patent number: 8244365
    Abstract: A bimodal hearing prosthesis configured to deliver electrical and acoustic stimulation to a recipient such that a frequency range of a received sound that is represented by the electrical stimulation is perceived simultaneously with the frequency range of the received sound that is represented by the acoustic stimulation.
