Abstract: A method for manufacturing a hearing device is disclosed. The hearing device comprises a speaker, a first chamber, and a sound channel arranged between the first chamber and the surroundings of the hearing device or a second chamber. An element of a thermoplastic material being in a solid state is arranged in the sound channel. A laser light is applied to the element to thereby activate the element to change from the solid state to a liquid state. The element then changes from the solid state to the liquid state filling out a cross-section of the sound channel and thereby sealing the sound channel. Finally, cooling of the element is allowed leading to a change of the element from the liquid state to solid state while filling out the cross-section of the sound channel.

Information is obtained about signal strengths recorded at the respective devices when attempting to receive a wireless signal transmitted by the electronic label. Weights are formed for positions associated with the devices, based on the signal strengths recorded at the corresponding devices.

Abstract: This invention propose a way of controlling the flux density in a current transformer to keep the transformer core saturated between two consecutive measurements in a sampling measurement system. Saturation disables transformation of primary to secondary current, and thereby disables losses in the secondary circuit during this time. Both AC and DC currents are possible to measure. The use of saturation of the transformer core also permits the core to be designed physically very small. In order to get effective and accurate low power consuming measurements, both the magnetic fields originating from primary current flowing in the primary winding and external magnetic fields must be symmetrically physically spread in the transformer core. This greatly limits the possible physical arrangement of the primary winding.
