  • Patent number: 9749753
    Abstract: The present invention regards a hearing device comprising a power source, a control unit, a power source charge state monitoring unit, a timing unit, and an output unit. The hearing device is configured to be worn on or at an ear of a user. The power source is configured to power the hearing device. The power source charge state monitoring unit is configured to monitor the charge state of the power source by determining a current output voltage value of the power source. The timing unit is configured to measure a duration between two points in time. The output unit is configured to generate output sounds corresponding to electrical sound signals. The control unit is configured to activate a low-energy warning mode, if the current output voltage value determined by the power source charge state monitoring unit is below a predetermined threshold output voltage value of the power source.

  • Publication number: 20170118567
    Abstract: A hearing device, e.g. a hearing aid, having a protection system is disclosed. The device includes an input unit for receiving an acoustic signal from a user's surroundings and providing a corresponding audio signal, and an output unit receiving said audio signal and providing an audible signal to the user, where the hearing device further includes a barrier element for protecting elements of the hearing device. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a hearing device inlet system.

  • Publication number: 20130303999
    Abstract: A metallic cylindrical tubular needle cannula (1) is subjected to a metal etching liquid inside the lumen (7) thereby increasing the inside diameter and enhancing the flow properties while maintaining the outside appearance. The inside wall (5) is further provided with a collapse zone (10) manufactured by radiating heat (11) to a specific outside area of the needle cannula (1) thereby increasing the aggression of the etchant. Further two different methods of in- process testing of the inside diameter of the needle cannulae using any fluid gas are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8579861
    Abstract: A needle magazine for holding a plurality of injection needles (50) is described. The needle magazine comprises a first opening adapted to receive the device fluid access portion (120) of a medical delivery device. Each needle (50) is selectively moveable from a respective storage position not aligned with said first opening into a needle mounting position aligned with said first opening. The needle magazine further comprises needle positioning means (41). configured to alter the mutual position between a needle selected from said plurality of needles (50) relative to a neighbor needle when said selected needle moves from its storage position to the needle mounting position.

  • Publication number: 20120271249
    Abstract: A regular metallic, cylindrical tubular needle cannula (1) is subjected to a metal etching liquid (21) in the inside lumen (4) thereby increasing the inside diameter and enhancing the flow properties while maintaining the outside appearance. The inside diameter is only increased over a controlled length (7) of the full length of the needle cannula (1) leaving sufficient length and wall thickness to also taper the outside diameter.
