  • Hearing aid format selector
    Publication number: 20010033664
    Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a hearing aid device is tethered to a selector module via a cable. A keypad of the selector is pressed to program the hearing aid device with a particular acoustical format. More specifically, a command generated by the selector module is received at the hearing aid test unit to program a corresponding acoustical format. Consequently, a hearing impaired patient can reprogram the hearing aid device to compare which of multiple formats provides an optimal response for use.

  • System and method for direct digital conversion of digital component video signals to NTSC signal
    Patent number: 5119176
    Abstract: A system directly converts digital video component signals to NTSC signal format. The system includes a digital filter which receives digital samples of the video component signal. Coefficients are stored in memory and applied to the taps of the digital filter together with the digital samples of the video component signal to effect conversion of the components to coefficient modified samples of the signals. Further digital processing completes the conversion to the NTSC signal format.
