Abstract: A method performs directional signal processing for a hearing instrument. First and second input signals are generated by first and second input transducers, respectively, from a sound signal. The first front intermediate signal and a first rear intermediate signal are each formed from the first and second input signals. A first superposition of the first front intermediate signal and the first rear intermediate signal is formed by a complex-value first superposition parameter and is adapted based on the first superposition parameter. A complex value of the first superposition parameter resulting from the adaptation of the first superposition is converted into a first alternative parameter and a second alternative parameter. An output signal is generated based on the first alternative parameter, the limited second alternative parameter and a superposition of the first and second input signals.

Abstract: A hearing aid has at least two input transducers and at least one output transducer. The input transducers generate an input signal from a sound signal from the surroundings. At least two directional signals with different directional characteristics are formed from the input signals and the directional signals are examined for the presence of a useful signal. A first weighting factor is assigned to the directional signal with the largest signal component of the useful signal and a second weighting factor is assigned to the other directional signals. The directional signals are multiplied by the respectively assigned weighting factor, and an output signal is then formed from the multiplication result. The output signal is converted into a sound signal by the output transducer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel amides and a process for preparing these amides.

Abstract: A modular tile is disclosed having a substantially rigid top surface supported above a ground surface by an understructure. The rigid top surface is defined by sidewalls forming an outer perimeter and four corners. Four modular tiles can be disposed adjacent one another at common adjoining corners. A bottom side of each of the four modular tiles has at least first and second cavities disposed about the corner of the tile. One of two bridge connectors is disposed about the common adjoining corners of the plurality of four modular tiles.

Abstract: A modular floor tile is disclosed having a top surface made of a plurality of rib members defining openings between the rib members. A plurality of edge surfaces defines a perimeter about the top surface and a support system is integrally formed with and disposed at least partially beneath the top surface. The support system is capable of maintaining the top surface elevated above a ground surface when a load is not placed on the top surface. The support system has a primary support member disposed within the openings between the rib members. The primary support member is operably connected to a plurality of arms extending laterally from the structural member to the primary support member and is capable of vertical movement within the opening when a load is applied to the top surface.
