Publication number: 20210000250Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved height-adjustable table (1) which can assist and motivate the user to use the height-adjustable table in a manner which increases health, burning of calories and well-being. The table features a system for determination of user presence and measurement of the time of user presence which can be used for alerting the user to change from a sitting to a standing position in front of the table in intervals based on the practical user presence of the table.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2019Publication date: January 7, 2021Inventor: Michael Høyer

Patent number: 9248297Abstract: A system for treatment of gait disorders reflects, with electrical stimulation patterns fed to electrodes (1, 8) arranged at the patient, on the event of heel-strike and heel-off, the events being generated by a wireless heel switch (5). The pulse generator (4) also transfers the electrical energy needed to operate the heel switch (5) wirelessly. The event signal from the heel switch (5) is modulated in order to achieve a longer operating range.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2010Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: NEURODAN A/SInventors: Michael Høyer, Clemens Florian Eder, Morten Hansen

Patent number: 9072912Abstract: A system for treatment of gait disorders includes an external device in the form of a pulse generator (4) with an integrated rechargeable battery and a device adapted to be implanted in the human body. The system features an external to the body placed antenna (3) for the inductive link between the external device and the implanted device. This antenna further incorporates an additional secondary coil (24), for inductively charging the battery in the pulse generator. The fixture on the antenna for mounting the antenna on the skin of the person is reused for being received in a charger fixture (20) on the charger, containing the primary coil (22) for the transfer of charging power.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2011Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: NEURODAN A/SInventors: Michael Høyer, Clemens Florian Eder, Morten Hansen, Rune Pank Kristensen

Patent number: 8626305Abstract: In a system for stimulation of nerves comprising implanted electrodes, an external to the system trigger device is equipped with a sensor and a transmitter for wirelessly broadcasting a signal to be received by a pulse generator for generating a pulse pattern to be forwarded to the at least one electrode implanted in the corpus of the living being. Further the trigger device is equipped with means for detecting if the patient is walking or just standing pulling the weight from one leg to another and can thus determine if a stimulation sequence has to be performed.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2011Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Neurodan A/SInventors: Ricky Lindgaard Nielsen, Michael Høyer, Morten Hansen

Patent number: 7668374Abstract: A method for supporting low-level aircraft flights in which a warning is provided for the pilot upon a reliable recognition of wire-like obstacles, even during extreme environmental influences, such as clutter, or even when such obstacles are seen against the sky. The method is performed upon the collection of information on the topography of the surrounding terrain by at least one sensor located on the aircraft, such information representing raw data, based upon which an image-like representation is calculated, such representation including a pixel quantity with pixels P(i, j) in columns j and lines i, which image-like representation is evaluated by calculating altitude values in a geodetic coordinate system using the flight condition from the aircraft, evaluating pixel quantity by comparing each pixel P(l, j) to threshold values or ranges of values, evaluating the image-like representation and highlighting each pixel as a picture element if any of various cases is present.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2006Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: EADS Deutschland GmbHInventors: Harald Harder, Matthias Wegner, Michael Hoyer
