Abstract: A hearing aid configured for handsfree control. The hearing aid comprising one or more microphones configured to receive an input signal from the surroundings and a signal processor configured to process the input signal from the surroundings and a receiver configured to emit at least a part of said processed input signal into an ear of a hearing aid user, wherein the signal processor is further configured to process a gestural signal from a user of the hearing aid and make a control change to the hearing aid based on the gestural signal.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method performed by a hearing aid and a hearing aid. An acoustical model can be used to generate first values (hk) for the multiple frequency channels based on first parameters (G, A, l); and a statistical model can be configured to generate second values (rk) for the multiple frequency channels based on values of second parameters (s1, s2, . . . , sn) and a set of basis vectors (u1, u2, . . . , un). An optimizer can be configured to obtain an optimized set of parameter values, wherein the optimized set of parameter values can be obtained by minimizing a difference between the first sound pressure levels (robs) and a combination of the first values (rk) and the second values (hk).

Abstract: A high density, generally recognized as safe, hybrid rocket motor is described, having a density-specific impulse similar to a solid rocket motor, with good performance approaching or equal to a liquid rocket motor. These high density hybrid motors resolve the packaging efficiency/effectiveness problems limiting the application of safe, low cost hybrid motor technology.
