Publication number: 20210297791Abstract: A system and method for aiding hearing are disclosed. In one embodiment of the system, a programming interface is configured to communicate with a device. The system screens, via a speaker and a user interface associated with the device, a left ear—and separately, a right ear—of a patient. The system then determines a left ear hearing range and a right ear hearing range. The screening utilizes harmonic frequencies of a harmonic frequency series, where the harmonic frequency series includes a fundamental frequency and integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. In some embodiments, the harmonic frequencies may include classical music instrument sounds.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventor: Laslo Olah

Patent number: 10995745Abstract: A submersible pump assembly for transference of a fluid medium with low viscosity is disclosed. In one embodiment, the submersible pump assembly includes a cylinder block having cylinders and pistons. A drive shaft is rotatably supported in the cylinder block and coupled to a drive unit. An inclined leading plate is coupled to the pistons and the drive shaft such that the pistons are configured to be axially driven in a reciprocating motion within the cylinders upon rotation of the inclined leading plate. A suction chamber and a pressure chamber are each located in fluid communication with the cylinders. In one operational mode, the fluid medium is transferred from the suction chamber to the pressure chamber during the reciprocating motion of the pistons, when the pistons are active. In another operational mode, the fluid medium is circulated through the suction chamber.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2020Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Texas Institute of Science, Inc.Inventors: Simon Oman, Marko Nagode, Jernej Klemenc, Franc Majdic, Marko Hocevar, Ales Gosar, Andrej Skrlec, Laslo Olah
