Abstract: A cochlear implant hearing aid system is disclosed. The cochlear implant hearing aid system comprises an external part. The external part includes a sound pickup unit configured to pick up sound from the environment and a sound processing unit configured to process said sound. The cochlear implant hearing aid system further comprises an implant part. The implant part includes an implant processing unit and a plurality of cochlea stimulation electrodes for stimulation of a cochlea of a user. The cochlear implant hearing aid system further comprises a near-infrared transmitter configured to transmit a near-infrared wave. The cochlear implant hearing aid system further comprises a near-infrared receiver configured to receive said near-infrared wave.

Abstract: A method for 3D printing of a robot element, more particularly a finger for use in robotics. At least one sensor is concomitantly printed by means of multi-material printing during the printing of the robot element. A gripping element produced by a method of this kind includes a number of printed layers of robot element material and a concomitantly printed sensor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for simultaneous brewing and beverage dispensing, in which a brew basket is positionable in a beverage dispenser to permit brewing. The brew basket includes a novel shape that permits it to take advantage of current beverage dispenser configurations to ease the brewing process.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing device and system to dispense, or aerate and dispense a liquid such as wine through a spout. The dispensing device having multiple air ports and aeration chambers to form multiple aerating segments during the pour process. The dispensing device having a handle to increase grasping of a liquid container and preventing accidental separation of the device and a container.

Abstract: A beverage server having a cap and a server body. The server body includes an open top container having a handle, a chamber, a pour spout, and a cap receiving portion defining a top opening. The cap is rotatably positionable within the top opening between an on-off configuration, a closed configuration, and a pour configuration. The cap has an outer facing portion and a lip, and the cap receiving portion has an inner facing portion adjacent to a top rim. Surfaces on the cap that would otherwise engage the rim and surfaces of the cap receiving portion, are cutaway to create recesses in such surfaces, which together with the top rim and surfaces of the cap receiving portion define an air vent which allows air to pass into the chamber when beverage is dispensed from the chamber via the spout when the cap is in the pour configuration.

Abstract: A urine sample collection device having a collection vessel for capturing urine from a patient, and an associated sample collection container portion for gathering the urine sample in an assured manner without the need for manual transfer. The urine sample collection device can be easily mounted inside a toilet bowl, so that the patient can deliver the urine stream to the toilet in the normal manner to produce the urine sample. The device avoids splashes of residual urine after the sample container is remove from the collection vessel, and a urine flow barrier shield for automatically accommodating the clean-catch method for delivering a urine sample.
