Publication number: 20140254847Abstract: Methods, tools, and methods of manufacturing said tools are provided for inserting a hearing device deeply into the ear canal of a user and adjusting its medial-lateral position therein. The provided tools comprise a shaft. A distal end of the shaft can be coupled to the hearing device. The shaft is flexible to facilitate its insertion into the tortuous ear canal and minimize injurious contact with the ear canal. The length of the shaft can be adjusted to adjust the depth of insertion of the shaft into the ear canal, customizing the tool for an individual user. Medial advancement of the shaft into the ear canal is limited by a base, side extension, or mold coupled to a proximal portion of the shaft or other proximal part of the tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2014Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicant: InSound Medical, Inc.Inventors: Robert Howard, Evelyne Chaubert, Gretchen Anderson, Jonathan Paul Downing, Nicholas Hausman, Janet Karen Hwu, Ricardo Penate

Patent number: 8815076Abstract: A method and system is provided to allow for determination of substantially Hematocrit independent analyte concentration. In one example, an analyte measurement system is provided that includes a test strip and a test meter. The test strip includes a reference electrode and a working electrode, in which the working electrode is coated with a reagent layer. The test meter includes an electronic circuit and a signal processor. The electronic circuit applies a plurality of voltages to the reference electrode and the working electrode over respective durations. The signal processor is configured to determine a substantially hematocrit-independent concentration of the analyte from a plurality of current values as measured by the processor upon application of a plurality of test voltages to the reference and working electrodes over a plurality of durations interspersed with rest voltages lower than the test voltages being applied to the electrodes.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2012Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Lifescan Scotland LimitedInventors: Marco F. Cardosi, Stephen Patrick Blythe, Matthew Finch, Arlene Thompson, Nina Antonia Naylor, Eric Jason Bailey, Michael Patick Dolan, Gretchen Anderson, Lorraine Comstock, Mary McEvoy, Thomas Sutton, Richard Michael Day, Leanne Mills, Emma Vanessa Jayne Day, Christopher Philip Leach

Patent number: 8594387Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide devices and methods for capturing text found in a variety of sources and transforming it into a different user-accessible formats or medium. For example, the device can capture text from a magazine and provide it to the user as spoken words through headphones or speakers. Such devices are useful for individuals such as those having reading difficulties (such as dyslexia), blindness, and other visual impairments arising from diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and glaucoma.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2007Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Intel-GE Care Innovations LLCInventors: Lea Kobeli, Evelyne Chaubert, Jeffrey Salazar, Gretchen Anderson, Ben Foss, Matthew Wallace Peterson
