Abstract: An auditory device is disclosed. The auditory device includes a behind-the-ear element and an at least partially in-ear element. The behind-the-ear element has a shell shaped to fit behind an outer portion of an ear of a user. The shell has first and second sides that are substantially parallel to each other. The first side faces the outer portion of the ear, and the second side faces a head of the user. The behind-the-ear element also includes sound processing circuitry within the shell. The behind-the-ear element further includes an ear cushion switch operatively connected to the sound processing circuitry. The ear cushion switch is located on the first side of the shell. The at least partially in-ear element includes a microphone, acoustic pickup pillow-pad, sensors, receiver and a cushioned tip. The at least partially in-ear element can include a closed ear detachable cushioned tip and an open ear detachable cushioned tip.

Abstract: A method for using an algorithm for autonomous, real-time computation of the inserted delays between successive calligraphic or stroke type vectors that optimizes both image quality and performance for systems that generate stroke video for cathode ray tube (CRT) type displays. The algorithm operates on parameters for vector angular change screen position, and stroke write rate or clock rate to determine an inner-vector delay and to optimize the image quality of the resulting vector graphics display. The algorithm can be implemented at a rudimentary level of the system level architecture and eliminates much of the tedious, manual effort associated with image quality optimization typically dictated by a vector display system.
