  • Device and method for electric stimulation with the aid of a cochlea-implant
    Patent number: 11167136
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) and to a method for electric stimulation. Said device comprises a stimulator (12) which comprises a multi-channel electrode arrangement with several stimulation electrodes (E1-E12). Said device also comprises a processor (18) which determines the pulse rate and the pulse amplitude for each stimulation electrode (E1-E12), and which controls the electrode arrangement for releasing stimulation impulses of the determined pulse rate and pulse amplitude. Said processor (18) determines the pulse rate for each stimulation electrode (E1-E12) dependent on the position in the cochlea. The invention also relates to a computer program product by means of which a data processing system determines the pulse rate for each stimulation electrode (E1-E12) dependent on the actual position thereof.

  • Heat exchanger, method for the production of a heat exchanger
    Patent number: 8967235
    Abstract: Disclosed is a heat exchanger, especially an exhaust gas heat exchanger, comprising a housing (101, 201, 301, 401, 501, 601, 702, 801, 901, 1101, 1401, 1501, 1901, 2001, 2101, 2201) which can be penetrated by at least one first medium (M1) and at least one second medium (M2), and at least one sealing element (213, 607, 707, 906, 1006, 1011, 1411, 1506, 2205). At least one flow means (217, 1507, 1507a, 1508, 1904, 2005, 2105, 2206, 2206a, 2206b), around which the second medium flows, is provided inside the housing, said flow means improving heat transfer from the first medium to the second medium.
