Patent number: 9403004Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for receiving a data signal and a power signal by a hearing prosthesis are disclosed. An input signal is received at a first unit of a hearing prosthesis. The first unit receives the input signal at a wired interface module that conforms to a standardized interface. The first unit identifies a data signal and a power signal included in the input signal. The first unit transfers at least a portion of the power signal to a second unit of the hearing prosthesis. The second unit is implanted in a body and is configured to stimulate an auditory organ, allowing a user to perceive at least a portion of a sound.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2015Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Cochlear LimitedInventors: Werner Meskens, Erika Baelen, Koen van den Heuvel, Peter van Gerwen

Patent number: 6550820Abstract: A connection arrangement is provided for a mineral-insulated conduit with two ends to at least one tube-shaped structure, wherein at least one end is arranged partially overlapping with a tube-shaped structure and is affixed by welding or soldering, and wherein a sheath surface is arranged in the region of the overlap. The problem results of making available a connection arrangement for a mineral-insulated conduit to a tube-shaped structure, which is simple to produce and mechanically stable. The problem is solved in that the sheath surface has a structured surface, the end of the mineral-insulated conduit and the tube-shaped structure contact each other on all sides in the region of the overlap, and the contact surface is smaller than the sheath surface beyond the contact surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2000Date of Patent: April 22, 2003Assignee: EPIQ Sensor Nite, N.V.Inventors: Christiaan Baerts, Peter van Gerwen, Jean-Paul Jaenen
