  • Publication number: 20230262398
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hearing device having a microphone, where most of the microphone is shielded by an outer shielding of the hearing device. An inlet in the outer shielding allows sound from outside the hearing aid to travel to the microphone to be picked up by it. However, the combination of the microphone and the inlet results in the microphone becoming more sensitive at some audible frequencies. A damping filter positioned in connection with the inlet acts to counter the acoustic effect of the inlet by damping sound in the audible frequency range, where the microphone has increased sensitivity.

  • Publication number: 20230190425
    Abstract: An intra-oral handheld 3D optical scanner includes an illumination module configured to generate an illumination signal to illuminate a dental object, and an image sensor configured to obtain data in response to the illumination of the dental object. The data is configured to be used to generate a 3D dental model of the dental object. The scanner also includes a lens housing including an optical lens that is configured to direct the illuminating signal towards the dental object, and a drive including a shaft that is configured to rotate around a rotation axis. The scanner also includes a guide extending continuously along at least a part of a length of the shaft and a spring, arranged intermediate between the lens housing and the guide, configured to exert a spring force towards the guide.

  • Publication number: 20160152281
    Abstract: In order to prepare seat installation in a vehicle, a floor plate is prepared remotely and then inserted into the bottom of the vehicle. The floor plate (32) has an upper side with rail members (17) for mounting seats. The rail members (17) are separated by plate elements (3) forming the floor plate (32) together with the rail members (17). In order to ensure a proper stability of the floor plate before insertion into the car, a straight rigid profile (31) is provided at the ends of the floor plate (32).
