  • Patent number: 12328692
    Abstract: Disclosed herein, among other things, are methods and apparatus for providing a time-stamp based controller for synchronization of sink or source sampling rate with external packet rate. A method for wireless communications includes receiving a transmission of a packet using a wireless transceiver of an electronic device, and using a processor of the electronic device to read a first value of a system timer and store the first value as an arrival time-stamp. The packet is decoded and processed by the processor, and sent to an output. When the processed packet is sent, a second value of the system timer is read, adjusted and stored as a departure time-stamp. The arrival time-stamp and the departure time-stamp are used to calculate an adjustment stimulus for a sample rate actuator of the electronic device. The sample rate actuator is configured to maintain synchronization of sampling rate with an external packet rate.

  • Publication number: 20250049398
    Abstract: An ear-wearable device comprising: a sensor configured to sense one or more physiological parameters of a user of the ear-wearable device; communications circuitry; and processing circuitry configured to: apply a machine learning (ML) model to the one or more sensed physiological parameters to determine whether the user is experiencing symptoms of a medical scenario, wherein the ML model is configured to be trained via a training set comprising a plurality of physiological parameter values and a corresponding plurality of symptoms of the medical scenario; and based on a determination that the user is experiencing symptoms of a medical scenario, cause the communications circuitry to transmit a notification indicating that the user is experiencing the symptoms of the medical scenario.

  • Patent number: 9402142
    Abstract: Disclosed herein, among other things, are apparatus and methods for wireless hearing assistance devices and in particular to a controllable range control for wireless hearing assistance device systems. An advertisement is used to allow the receiver to quickly receive streaming information, thus conserving power. In various embodiments, a system for communications with a hearing assistance device includes a wireless streaming device having a range control. The range control is configured to provide a first range for an advertisement transmission and a second range for a streaming information transmission. The first range is less than the second range, in various embodiments.
