Publication number: 20240121561Abstract: A hearing aid device is disclosed. The hearing aid device comprises means to improve, augment and/or protect the hearing capability of a user by receiving acoustic signals from the surroundings of the user, generating corresponding audio signals, possibly modifying the audio signals and providing the possibly modified audio signals as audible signals to at least one of the user's ears. The hearing aid device comprises a sensor member for detecting the movement and/or acceleration and/or orientation (or spatial position) of the hearing aid device. The hearing aid device comprises at least two hearing aid microphones and a control unit for determining the position or a deviation from an intended position of the hearing aid device or hearing aid microphones. The hearing aid device is configured to compensate for a possible dislocation of the hearing aid microphones.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Oticon A/SInventors: Michael Syskind PEDERSEN, Kenneth Rueskov MØLLER, Svend Oscar PETERSEN, Niels Stubager KIEMER, Jesper Kofoed NIELSEN, Björn OHL, Marianne Kleist ELMLUND, Karin CARVALHO, Henrik BENDSEN, Regin Kopp PEDERSEN, Christian C.

Patent number: 5565319Abstract: Compositions derived from a novel viral isolate designated feline T-lymphotropic lentivirus (FTLV) include the whole virus; proteins, polypeptides and, polynucleotide sequences derived from the virus; and antibodies to antigenic sites on the virus. These compositions are useful in a variety of techniques for the detection of and vaccination against FTLV. Detection methods disclosed include immunoassays for both the virus and antibodies to the virus, and the use of polynucleotide probes to detect the viral genome. Vaccines include both wholly and partially inactivated viruses and subunit vaccines. Whole, live virus is also useful as a model system for predicting the behavior of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 1994Date of Patent: October 15, 1996Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Niels C.

Patent number: 5291124Abstract: A tester applies a high-voltage test signal across the probes of a high-voltage measuring apparatus, wherein at least one of the probes is mounted at a probe end of an elongated insulated pole. The tester includes a battery-powered generator for generating the test signal which is applied across two contact terminals, respectively adapted for connection to the probes. One of the contact terminals is disposed at the bottom of an elongated tubular socket which receives the probe end of the pole, the contact terminal including two conductive members spring-biased apart until the pole is inserted in the socket. The generator is energized through a switch which may be mounted on the generator housing. In one embodiment the other contact terminal is an alligator clip and in a second embodiment the other contact terminal is disposed in a second socket.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1992Date of Patent: March 1, 1994Assignee: HD Electric CompanyInventors: Mark R.

Patent number: 5017739Abstract: A cable connector jacket formed of flexible, electrically insulating plastic is of unitary, one-piece construction, including two cavity-defining bodies hingedly interconnected in a clamshell-type configuration for movement between open and closed conditions. Each body has two pairs of channel-like tapered arms respectively extending in opposite directions therefrom generally parallel to the hinge line. When the bodies are in their closed conditions, the cavities define a chamber for accommodating the cable connector, and the arms of one body respectively mate with those of the other body to form four tapered tubes for respectively accommodating cable portions interconnected by the connector. A latch on the body holds the jacket closed.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 1990Date of Patent: May 21, 1991Assignee: HD Electric CompanyInventors: Mark R. Hoffman, Charles Y. M. Choi, Peder M.

Patent number: 4699785Abstract: A novel feline fibroblastic cell line infected with Snyder-Theilen feline leukemia virus is provided. The cell line produces large amounts of FeLV when cultured in a medium free from serum supplement. The latter aspect is a substantial advantage since it reduces the expense of culturing and eliminates the need to separate serum from culture medium prior to preparing a vaccine.Feline fibroblastic cell line FF64/280 was deposited at the American Type Culture Collection on Apr. 17, 1984, and granted accession no. VR 2085.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1984Date of Patent: October 13, 1987Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventor: Niels C. Pedersen
