Patent number: 10149069Abstract: The application relates to a configurable hearing device such as a hearing aid comprising an input transducer adapted to transform an input sound signal to an electrical input signal; a memory storing at least two different performance categories, each comprising a group of technical features, the group of technical features of each of the at least two different performance categories being at least partially overlapping and each technical feature of the group of technical features being defined by a selectable range and/or parameter settings; a signal processing unit adapted to access the memory and to process the electrical input signal in accordance with an active performance category selectable from the at least two different performance categories, the signal processing unit providing a processed electrical signal; and an output transducer adapted to transform the processed electrical signal to an output signal producing a hearing perception to a user of the hearing device. The invention may e.g.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2017Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: BERNAFON A/GInventors: Uwe Blessing, Carsten Braun, Remo Vaterlaus, Christian Glück

Patent number: 7350810Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas generator, in particular for airbag modules in motor vehicles, comprising a plurality of separate generator stages which can be ignited independently of one another and each of which includes in its own pressure housing at least one igniter, at least one propellant charge and at least one combustion chamber. The generator stages are arranged at least partly in a common filter housing together with a common filter unit and the space remaining in the filter housing is designed at least regionally as an outflow passage system leading from outflow apertures formed in the pressure housings to the filter unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2005Date of Patent: April 1, 2008Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Uwe Blessing, Jochem Gaertner, Peter Lehniger, Marc Alexander Winterhalder
