Patent number: 11614190Abstract: A tool for mechanically unlocking a subsea hydraulic connector which is configured to releasably connect a first subsea component to a second subsea component. The connector includes a housing which is secured to the first subsea component, a locking piston which is positioned within the housing, and a number of locking jaws which are configured to be engaged by the locking piston. The locking piston is movable between a locked position in which the locking piston forces the locking jaws into engagement with the second subsea component to thereby secure the connector to the second subsea component, and an unlocked position in which the locking piston releases the locking jaws from engagement with the second subsea component to thereby disconnect the connector from the second subsea component.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2020Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Inventors: Marcos Cantu Mannarino, Carlos Eduardo Castro Trevisani, Daniel Lucas da Silva, Alan Zaragoza Labes

Patent number: 11510020Abstract: A binaural hearing system includes first and second hearing devices communicatively coupled by way of a binaural communication link. The first hearing device determines that a signal quality measure of a wireless signal transmitted by the remote audio source is greater than an upper threshold level. In response, both hearing devices enter a wireless audio rendering mode in which they render a remote audio stream from the remote audio source to a user. While operating in the wireless audio rendering mode, both hearing devices determine that a signal quality measure of the remote audio stream drops below a lower threshold level. In response to this determination, both hearing devices exit the wireless audio rendering mode.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2021Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Sonova AGInventors: Georg Dickmann, Daniel Lucas-Hirtz, Doris Zahnd
