  • Patent number: 11375328
    Abstract: A hearing aid device is provided. The hearing aid device comprises: an input unit configured to receive an acoustical input and transform it into an electrical input signal; a signal transforming unit coupled to the input unit and configured to process the electrical input signal to obtain an electrical output signal; a stimulation unit configured to generate a stimulation signal for acoustic coordinated reset neuromodulation therapy; an output unit configured to transform at least one of the electrical output signal and the stimulation signal into an acoustical output.

  • Publication number: 20210113094
    Abstract: A method for medical examination, in particular determination of the blood pressure of an animal that preferably has a paw and is in particular an animal of the subfamily of the Felinae. In the method, a curve comprising information about the arterial blood flow of the animal, in particular a photoplethysmogram, is recorded, and the curve is cut into several curve sections in such a way that each curve section corresponds to a heartbeat. According to another independent aspect, a sensor or a subset of sensors is selected from several sensors of the same kind to perform the examination.

  • Publication number: 20210113155
    Abstract: An examination apparatus for medical examination, in particular determination of a blood pressure, of an animal, in particular an animal having a paw, particularly preferably an animal from the subfamily of the Felinae. The examination apparatus has a sensor device for the optical examination of an arterial blood flow of the animal, in particular for performing a photoplethysmography. For this purpose, the sensor device has at least one emitter for the emission of electromagnetic radiation and at least one detector for the detection of the radiation emitted by the emitter. The sensor device preferably has several emitters and several detectors that are arranged in a periodic structure. Alternatively or additionally, the sensor device has a limiting device which defines a border of a detection region of the sensor device so that a distance of the border from the sensor device is more than 0.5 mm and/or less than 5 mm.

  • Patent number: 8738957
    Abstract: An electronic device (12) for processing information that includes data and clock information and that is wirelessly received from another electronic device (14) may include a first processor (18) that controls only wireless communications with the another electronic device (14) and excluding operations associated only with the electronic device (12), a second processor (16) that controls the operations associated only with the electronic device (12) and excluding the wireless communications with the another device (14), and means (30-30??) for extracting the clock information and the data from the wirelessly received information and providing a corresponding clock signal and the data to the second processor (16) for synchronous receipt of the data by the second processor (16) using the clock signal.

  • Patent number: 8680974
    Abstract: An electronic device may communicate wirelessly with another electronic device. The electronic device may include a first processor configured to control only wireless communications with the another device but not operations associated only with the electronic device, a second processor configured to control the operations associated only with the electronic device but not the wireless communications with the another device, and a memory device connected between the first and second processors. The first and second processors may each be configured to exchange information with the memory device separately and independently of the exchange of information by the other of the first and second processors with the memory device.
