Abstract: A method of configuring a frequency transposition scheme for transposing a set of received frequencies of an audio signal received by a hearing aid worn by a subject to a transposed set of frequencies, wherein the method comprises determining at least one subject-dependent parameter indicative of the subject's ability to detect audio frequencies, and at least one subject-dependent parameter indicative of the location in frequency of one or more spectral cues, configuring a subject-dependent frequency transposition scheme based on the determined subject-dependent parameters, the subject-dependent frequency transposition scheme being configured so as to improve the subject's spatial hearing capabilities, and adapting the hearing aid to perform the configured subject-dependent frequency transposition scheme.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a semiconductor chip and a control chip at different supply potentials. A lead chip island includes an electrically conductive partial region and an insulation layer. The semiconductor chip is arranged on the electrically conductive partial region of the lead chip island and the control chip is cohesively fixed on the insulation layer.

Abstract: A semiconductor module is disclosed. One embodiment provides a first semiconductor chip, a second semiconductor chip and a spacer. The first semiconductor chip has a depression at a first main surface. The spacer is applied to the first main surface and at least partly fills the depression. The second semiconductor chip is applied to the spacer.

Abstract: A semiconductor component arrangement having a semiconductor component, a mount, and an adhesive, wherein the adhesive connects the semiconductor component to the mount and the adhesive contains a marker substance. Also disclosed is a method for inspecting the connection of a semiconductor component to a mount. The semiconductor component is fixed on the mount using an adhesive, wherein the adhesive contains a marker substance, the mount with the semiconductor component is cleaned, and the mount is inspected for residues of the adhesive on the basis of radiation which is characteristic of the marker substance.

Abstract: In the method according to the invention the communication device has a microphone and a signal path leading from the microphone to a speaker, where the signal path comprises a programmable signal processing unit. According to the method the user is given control in a training session over one or more signal processing parameters within the signal processing unit. In the training session the user listens to the sound of his or her own voice transmitted through the communication device, and adjusts the one or more signal processing parameters until he or she is satisfied with the sound quality of his/her own voice. The values of the signal processing parameters chosen by the user during the training session are stored in a storing means within the device, and the programmable signal processing automatically uses the stored parameter when detection means within the unit detects the users own voice.

Abstract: The invention concerns a digital filter. The filter comprises at least a first and a second 5 delayed summation line, whereby one of the delay lines comprise a warped filter FIR filter and the other line is a FIR filter, whereby: at least two delayed summation lines are present, midpoint elements from the first delayed summation line are used as input to the second delayed summation line, output from the first delayed summation line is delayed with a delay corresponding to the total delay of the second delayed summation line, the delayed output from the first delayed summation line is added to output from the second delayed summation line to form a new output.

Abstract: A system for the grinding of unencumbered and encumbered sections of rail includes a locomotive that pulls a first and a second grinding module. The first grinding module is movable between a first and a second position. In the first position, the first grinding module is presented at angle enabling grinding of unencumbered section of rail while in the second position, the first grinding module is presented at an able enabling grinding of the encumbered section of rail. The locomotive continues in non-stop forward motion while the first grinding module is moved back and forth between its first and second positions. The second grinding module is generally used only for grinding of encumbered rail sections and is used simultaneously with the first grinding module in its second position.
