Patent number: 8553918Abstract: A hearing device or another hearing apparatus is to be made smaller in terms of its dimensions. It is proposed for this purpose to develop a battery contact at least in one section as an induction coil. The current produced by the battery can thus compensate for an interference field of a telephone coil, said interference field being produced for example by a hearing device earpiece, and no separate coils need to be provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2007Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Siemens Audiologische Technik GmbHInventors: Thomas Kasztelan, Vincent Ong, Lit Min Sam

Patent number: 8270646Abstract: The invention relates to a hearing aid device and a hearing aid switch. The switch is operable to open and close an electric circuit of the hearing aid device. A lock for the switch is operable to selectively enable and disenable a hearing aid device function. The hearing aid device comprises a device for selectively inhibiting the operation of the switch to enable or to disenable the hearing aid device function.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2005Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Siemens Medical Instruments Ptd. Ltd.Inventors: Markus Heerlein, Wai Kit Ho, Kah Hooi Vincent Ong

Patent number: 8005718Abstract: A vending machine capable of refilling used ink cartridges as well as dispensing filled ink cartridges is closed. The vending machine includes at least one cartridge receptacle for receiving an ink cartridge, a user interface, a display unit, a nozzle health check module, a printhead servicing module, an ink reservoir, an ink refilling unit, a compartment containing new ink cartridges, a compartment containing filled, second-hand ink cartridges, and a recycle compartment for receiving discarded ink cartridges. The user is presented by the display unit with the option of (a) refilling a used cartridge, (b) purchasing a filled cartridge, or (c) returning a used cartridge in exchange for a purchase rebate or a discount voucher. When the user selects the option of refilling, the vending machine executes a refilling subroutine which includes checking the nozzle health.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2010Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Tong-Nam-Samuel Low, Yu Zhao, Poovendhran S/O Kannayah, Ling Hwee Vincent Ong

Patent number: 7782010Abstract: The production of hearing apparatuses and in particular of hearing devices is to be simplified. To this end, a battery contact module with an electrical contact facility and a plastic frame is proposed, to/in which the contact facility is fastened. In this way, the battery contact module is designed as a SMD component and the contact facility has corresponding connections for a surface mounting on a printed circuit board. An amplifier printed circuit board can herewith be advantageously automatically equipped with the battery contact module and soldered.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2007Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Siemens Audiologische Technik GmbHInventors: Markus Heerlein, Thomas Kasztelan, Vincent Ong
