Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for securing remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and other similar underwater equipment that require an umbilical power and/or communications cable to a docking collar termination.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a hearing aid is provided. The hearing aid may include a set of battery charging terminals configured to be connected to a battery. A receiver oscillator circuit is electrically coupled to the set of battery charging terminals, the receiver oscillator circuit includes a receiver coil. The receiver coil may be tuned to resonate at a resonance frequency in a range of MHz and at the resonance frequency. The receiver coil may be configured to receive magnetic energy in the form of electromagnetic waves of a frequency similar to the resonance frequency of the receiver coil and to convert the magnetic energy of the received electromagnetic waves to an electrical current to charge the battery via the set of battery charging terminals.

Abstract: An ear fitting piece for creating an ear impression and a method for creating an ear impression. In order to allow the creation of an ear impression at low cost, the ear fitting piece for creating an ear impression has a liquid, which has a first state in which it can be shaped and a second state in which it is solidified, a soft rubber sleeve, which encloses the liquid, and an activating device, which is designed to cause a change of state from the first state to the second state of the liquid. A further change of state from the second state to the first state of the liquid can be caused by heating.
