Abstract: An illustrative in-the-ear hearing device seal module for use with a hearing device core includes a sleeve-shaped seal carrier that defines a longitudinal axis and that is configured to be inserted into an ear canal. The seal carrier further includes a sound outlet at a medial end of the seal carrier when the seal carrier is inserted into the ear canal. At least one seal element is provided on a shell surface of the seal carrier. The hearing device core is at least partially inserted into and positioned by the seal carrier such that the seal carrier is secured to the hearing device core by a releasable form-fit coupling.

Abstract: A system for generating and applying alpha values is discussed. Different sets of alpha values are generated and stored for each color component of a set of image data associated with a foreground object. A graphics-processing engine processes the foreground object with respect to a background object to be displayed in the same location. Red components of the foreground object are blended with red components of the background object using red-specific alpha values. Blue components of the foreground object are blended with blue components of the background object using blue-specific alpha values and green components of the foreground object are blended with green components of the background object using green-specific alpha values.
