Patent number: 11754596Abstract: An example test system includes a test socket for testing a DUT, a lid for the test socket, and an actuator configured to force the lid onto the test socket and to remove the lid from the test socket. The actuator includes an upper arm to move the lid, an attachment mechanism connected to the upper arm to contact the lid, where the attachment mechanism is configured to allow the lid to float relative to the test socket to enable alignment between the lid and the test socket, and a lower arm to anchor the actuator to a board containing the test socket. The actuator is configured to move the upper arm linearly towards and away from the test socket and to rotate the upper arm towards and away from the test socket.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2020Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: TERADYNE, INC.Inventors: Michael O.

Patent number: 10292644Abstract: An expert diagnosis system integrated in a hearing prosthesis system is configured to diagnosis, grade, and remediate inner ear crises. In particular, the expert diagnosis system analyzes combinations of in-situ measured inner ear potentials, obtained in response to electrical and/or acoustic stimulation, in order to identify crisis signatures and to correlate those crisis signatures to clinical symptoms of a specific type and cause of an inner ear crises (i.e., automatically diagnosis the inner ear crisis). The expert system is further configured to grade the severity of the identified clinical symptoms and initiate some form of remedial action to address the identified inner ear crisis.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2016Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Cochlear LimitedInventors: John Michael Heasman, Peter Gibson, Luke Campbell, Stephen O'Leary

Publication number: 20180110982Abstract: Presented herein are techniques that make use of objective measurements, such as acoustically-evoked inner ear responses, in the fitting process to determine the acoustic prescription (gain functions) that are used by an electro-acoustic hearing prosthesis to translate received sound signals into output acoustic simulation levels. More specifically, a plurality of acoustically-evoked inner ear responses are obtained from an inner ear of a recipient of an electro-acoustic hearing prosthesis. One or more input/output functions for at least one region of the inner ear are determined based on the plurality of acoustically-evoked inner ear responses and the one or more input/output functions are, in turn, used to determine one or more gain functions for use by the electro-acoustic hearing prosthesis.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2016Publication date: April 26, 2018Inventors: John Michael Heasman, Kerrie Plant, Peter Gibson, Stephen O'Leary, Luke Campbell
