Abstract: A hearing aid includes a magnetically sensitive transducer for conversion of a varying magnetic field into an audio signal, a processor configured to generate a hearing loss compensated output signal based on the audio signal, an output transducer for providing an auditory output signal based on the hearing loss compensated output signal, an RF transceiver for wireless communication, and a communication controller that is configured to turn the RF transceiver on and off, wherein the processor is further configured to generate the hearing loss compensated output signal based on an estimate of the audio signal within a time period comprising an event that the RF transceiver changes state between on and off, and wherein the estimate is based at least on a part of the audio signal input to the processor outside the time period.

Abstract: A filter apparatus for reducing noise from a primary noise source, comprising a secondary source signal connector for generating secondary noise to reduce said primary noise and a sensor connector for connecting to a sensor for measuring said primary and secondary noise as an error signal. A first control filter is arranged to receive a reference signal and calculate a control signal for the secondary source signal. A second control filter is arranged to receive a delayed reference signal and calculate an auxiliary control signal; wherein an adaptation circuit is arranged to adapt said second control filter while receiving an error signal as a sum of the auxiliary control signal and an auxiliary noise signal. The auxiliary noise signal is constructed from a difference of the delayed filtered error signal and a delayed control signal. The first control filter is updated by a copy of said updated second control filter.

Abstract: An optical scanning device for scanning tracks of an optical record carrier (OD) using a radiation beam, the device including an optical head (16), defining an optical axis (OA), for converging the radiation beam to a spot when scanning the record carrier; and a rotary arm (2) for moving the optical head across the record carrier. The device further comprises a rotatably mounted diffraction grating (8) for generating satellite beams for performing multi-spot tracking. Rotation of the grating is arranged to move the satellite beams, relative to the optical axis of the optical head, in correspondence with rotation of the rotary arm.

Abstract: A disc comprising a substrate layer which comprises a support plate and a registration layer connected to the support plate. A protective plate is situated at the side of the registration layer remote from the support plate, which protective plate can be detachably fastened to the substrate layer. The support plate is disc-shaped and is provided with at least one raised edge extending upwards from a circumferential edge, by means of which the protective plate can be detachably fastened.

Abstract: A device for handling at least one optical disc which comprises two main surfaces and a circumferential edge (12) interconnecting the main surfaces. The device is provided at least with a loading mechanism (30), which loading mechanism is provided with means (31, 32; 33, 34; 36, 37). Said means can be fastened during operation against at least two positions on the circumferential edge of the optical disc that can be positioned in the loading mechanism, which positions are at a distance from one another.

Abstract: An optical scanning device for scanning an information layer of an optical record carrier and including a rotary aim (2; 102; 202; 302; 402; 502) which is arranged to swing about a rotation axis (CR) to alter an angular position of the rotary arm about the rotation axis; a detector arrangement (10) arranged separate from the rotary arm (2; 102; 202; 302; 402; 502) for detecting a radiation beam spot, the radiation beam spot (40; 140; 240; 340; 440; 540) having an angular disposition; a first reflective surface (4; 104; 204; 304; 404; 504) attached to the rotary arm (2; 102; 202; 302; 402; 502); a second reflective surface (6; 106; 206; 306; 406; 506) attached to the rotary arm (2; 102; 302; 402; 502); a first light path (LP 1; LP 1 O 1; LP201; LP301; LP401; LP501) running from a location on the record carrier to said first reflective surface; a second light path (LP2; LP102; LP202; LP302; LP402; LP502) running from said first reflective surface to said second reflective surface; a third light path (LP3; LP103
