Abstract: A wireless power receiving system for an electric vehicle comprises an electric traction motor for providing mechanical energy for propelling the vehicle. The electric traction motor is operable as a generator to convert received mechanical energy into electrical energy. An inverter is connectable to receive input electric energy from the electric traction motor when the electric traction motor operates as a generator and is operative to output electric charging energy in response to the input electric energy. A battery is connectable to receive the electric charging energy from the inverter. A regenerative braking (RB) mechanical power transfer mechanism is connected to mechanically couple RB mechanical energy from a drivetrain of the electric vehicle to the electric traction motor. A MDC mechanical power transfer mechanism is connected to mechanically couple MDC mechanical energy from a magneto-dynamic coupling (MDC) wireless power receiver to the electric traction motor.

Abstract: A method of fitting a hearing assistance device includes heating and earmold including plastic material to a temperature sufficient to facilitate molding of the plastic material, the earmold being insertable into an ear of a user for molding in an ear of a user, and allowing the earmold to cool to provide a shaped earmold.
