  • Publication number: 20220183631
    Abstract: An automatic test device and method for auditory brainstem response (ABR) collects an ABR dataset at a plurality of sound loudness levels, increases the times of level averaging by iteration based on an adaptive average method, and improves a signal-to-noise ratio until ABR signal detection conditions are met. Signal detection includes determining that the time lag between average curves obtained from the ABR dataset is within a specified range. Iteration is terminated when the ABR signal is detected or a maximum number of iterations is reached. A minimum loudness level required to detect the ABR signal is used as a hearing threshold. An accurate loudness level corresponding to the hearing threshold is obtained by function fitting on the number of iterations used at each loudness level and interpolation. The threshold detection can effectively reduce the number of times that an ABR recording needs to be acquired.

  • Patent number: 11166362
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a compact integrated deuterium-deuterium (D-D) neutron generator. A hemispherical metal head is disposed inside a cylindrical ceramic shell of the generator and is provided therein with an ion source and an ion source power supply. An inner ceramic insulated cylinder and an outer ceramic insulated cylinder are disposed between a metal plate of the metal head and a baseplate of the generator, and an isolated power supply system and a high-voltage power supply are disposed between the inner ceramic insulated cylinder and the outer ceramic insulated cylinder. A rear end of an extraction accelerating electrode disposed inside the inner ceramic insulated cylinder protrudes from the generator and is then connected to a target holder disposed outside the baseplate. A target is disposed inside the target holder, the target is at ground potential, and a cooling water interface is disposed on the target holder.
