Patent number: 11850043Abstract: In one embodiment, an audio system can generate parametrically formulated noise signals. According to an embodiment, an audio system can both determine the hearing ability of an individual and increase the hearing ability of the individual by using parametrically formulated noise. According to an embodiment, an audio system can generate parametrically formulated noise having a power spectrum amplitude that is a function of an individual's hearing threshold across a range of frequencies as measured using parametrically formulated noise test signals.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Inventors: Dean Robert Gary Anderson, Dean Gregory Anderson

Publication number: 20230334419Abstract: Systems and methods for managing inventories of blood components are disclosed. Such systems and methods are configured to improve the predictability, efficiency, and/or automation of blood component supply chains. Tools are provided for tracking blood component inventories, using blood component demand, and coordinating donations to meet current and anticipated demand. Some embodiments of the systems and methods identify when blood component units at a health care facility are beginning to run low or are approaching expiration, before the need for additional units becomes critical. Some embodiments of the systems and methods coordinate new donations and modify existing scheduled donations to meet real-time and forecasted demand for blood components.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Kathleen Mickles, Dale H. Meixelsperger, Brent Paul, Todd Lewis, Christopher Trussell, Adam Bryan, Dean Gregory, William H. Cork

Patent number: 11056129Abstract: In one embodiment, an audio system can generate a parametrically formulated noise signal which can be adaptively reconfigured according to an input signal. According to an embodiment, an audio system can adaptively adjust a parametrically formulated noise signal according to environmental noise detected by the audio system. According to an embodiment, an audio system can present an adaptive level of activation energy in the presence of environmental noise such that a substantially constant and sufficient level of activation energy can be presented to an individual's auditory system such that additional sound energy corresponding to speech can become audible and intelligible to the individual.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2018Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Inventors: Dean Robert Gary Anderson, Dean Gregory Anderson
