Patent number: 11606651Abstract: A hearing aid for placement on the head. The hearing aid includes a first part comprising an acoustic input transducer adapted to convert an ambient sound picked up at an ear of the user to an electric signal, a signal processor adapted to process the electric signal according to specifications of the user into a processed electric signal, and an output transducer adapted to convert the processed electric signal into a transmission signal, and a second part linkable to said first part by magnetic forces and comprising a receiver adapted to receive the transmission signal and convert the transmission signal to an output signal perceivable as sound by the user. Said first part comprises a receptacle adapted to receive an insert element, said insert element comprising protrusions configured for engaging with a recess of said first part by rotating the insert element relative to said first part.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2022Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: Oticon Medical A/SInventors: Emilie Munk Haagerup, Claus Tipsmark, Johan Rosengren, Rasmus Lund, Glenn Jensen, Bent Jakobsen

Publication number: 20220204373Abstract: A salt-level sensor for a water softener salt reservoir (aka brine tank) may comprise a laser distance detector or ultrasonic distance detector, a processor, a wi-fi module, a power module, a memory module, a housing, and a mounting assembly. The salt-level sensor may be configured to be mounted to the underside of the lid of a salt reservoir, with the distance detector directed away from the lid location. The mounting assembly may comprise one or more threaded elements and complementary nut(s), and may additionally comprise an orientation adjustment mechanism. A method for measuring the salt level in a salt reservoir may comprise installing the salt-level sensor on the underside of the lid; emitting a signal toward to salt; receiving a return signal; and, based on the time between emitting and receiving the signal, determining a distance to the salt.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2021Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventors: Michael Glenn Jensen, Andrew Stein McMullin

Patent number: 9860653Abstract: A hearing aid device configured to be partly or fully inserted into the ear canal of a user is disclosed. The hearing aid device comprises a receiver (loudspeaker) adapted to generate and send an air-borne acoustic signal towards the eardrum when the hearing aid device is partly or fully inserted into the ear canal. The hearing aid device further comprises a microphone configured to receive acoustic signals. The hearing aid device comprises a processing unit configured to determine if the hearing aid device is positioned in a correct position in the ear canal on the basis of the acoustic signals received by the microphone.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2016Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: OTICON A/SInventors: Thor Højlund Olsen, Povl Koch, Troels Holm Pedersen, Claus Nielsen, Søren Laugesen, Karsten Bo Rasmussen, Peter Sommer, Kåre Tais Christensen, Svend Oscar Petersen, Jørn Johansen, Bent Severin, Jan Frantzen, Lars Lund Jørgensen, Glenn Jensen, Anders Højsgaard Thomsen, Steen Michael Munk, Henrik Lodberg Olsen, Anders Hebsgaard, Vijay Kumar Bhat

Patent number: 5659977Abstract: An integrated plant including a microalgae production plant for growing, harvesting and drying algae and a fossil fuel-motor-generator plant producing electrical energy. A fossil fuel engine produces hot exhaust gas from which sensible heat dries the algae. The drying may be direct from the exhaust gas or may be indirect with the hot exhaust gas exchanging sensible heat with a recirculating stream of inert gas. Carbon dioxide from the exhaust gas is recovered for use as a nutrient in the microalgae production plant. Electrical energy from the generator is used to drive motors and/or produce artificial illumination and/or drive pumps, motors and controls in the microalgae production plant.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1996Date of Patent: August 26, 1997Assignee: Cyanotech CorporationInventors: Glenn Jensen, Eric H.
