Patent number: 11785131Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of providing enhanced content to a PSAP or other service center whereby when a 911 call is to be initiated, prior to the call or text communication being sent, the software application on the device contacts the cloud-based dynamic page service. The cloud-based dynamic page service receives event information, dynamically creates a page for the event along with a page identifier, and sends the page identifier to the software application of the initiating device. Then, the software application on the device initiates a 911 communication and includes the page identifier with the communication. In some cases, the page identifier may be sent as a separate communication.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: BEAMLIVE INCInventors: Mehrdad Negahban, Michael Patrick Jones, Sahand Negahban Hagh, Brad Andrew Keahi Beck, Edward Chau Hoy

Patent number: 11057724Abstract: An exemplary hearing device is configured to be fit for a user. The hearing device maintains data representative of a first and a second fitting strategy for the hearing device, the first and the second fitting strategy comprising a first and a second set of values, respectively, for a plurality of parameters that specify an operation of the hearing device. The hearing device receives a value for a mixing setting that specifies a weighting between the first and the second fitting strategy. The hearing device determines, based on the value for the mixing setting, a custom fitting strategy comprising a custom set of values for the plurality of parameters, the custom set of values including combinations of the first and second sets of values that are weighted in accordance with the value for the mixing setting. The hearing device bases outputting of a signal on the custom fitting strategy.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2019Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Sonova AGInventors: Leonard E. Cornelisse, Galen Dunning, Isaac W. Hamp, Edward Chau

Patent number: 11012798Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a self fitting hearing device and a method for self fitting the hearing device. Specifically, the disclosed technology relates to transmitting calibration signals from a wireless communication device to a hearing device so that the wireless communication device can provide signals or audio streams calibrated for a self-fitting for a hearing device. The wireless communication device can receive feedback from a hearing device that received a calibration signal and use this feedback to adjust signals it transmits to a hearing device for self fitting. More specifically, the hearing device receiving the calibration signal can determine whether the calibration actually received by the hearing device has criteria that meets a threshold for properly fitting the hearing device.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Sonova AGInventors: Edward Chau, Mennatallah Mostafa Hasabelnaby, Leonard Cornelisse, Isaac Hamp

Publication number: 20080112574Abstract: A directional signal processing system for beamforming information signals. The system includes an oversampled filterbank, which has an analysis filterbank for transforming the information signals in time domain into channel signals in transform domain, a synthesis filterbank and a signal processor. The signal processor processes the outputs of the analysis filterbank for beamforming the information signals. The synthesis filterbank transforms the outputs of the signal processor to a single information signal in time domain.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2008Publication date: May 15, 2008Applicant: AMI Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: Robert BRENNAN, Edward Chau, Hamid Nadjar, Todd Schneider
