Abstract: A data system for managing the settings for configuring a hearing aid includes a hearing aid (10, 11) and a remote server (25). The hearing aid (10, 11) has a processor (121). a first memory segment (110-112) for storing said configuration settings, a transceiver (122) adapted for establishing a wireless connection to an Internet enabled personal communication device (13), and a second memory segment (114) for storing at least one security element. The remote server (25) is adapted to set up a secure session with said hearing aid via said personal communication device (13) acting as a gateway. The processor (121) allows said remote server (25) to edit said settings for configuring the hearing aid (10, 11) stored said first memory segment (110-112) during a secure session set up under control of said at least one security element stored in the second. memory segment (114).

Abstract: A digital receiver being adapted for receiving an MSK modulated signal, comprises a digital front-end unit (10) adapted for providing samples having a phase value (θmeasure) of a down-mixed signal, a phase compensation unit (11) adapted for compensating the phase value (θmeasure) by delivering a phase offset compensated sample having a phase value (θsync), and a coherent demodulator (12) adapted for recovering information content from the phase offset compensated sample. The phase compensation unit (11) is adapted for analyzing a phase value (θsync) of the phase offset compensated sample, calculating a phase offset value (θoffset) based on the phase value (θsync) of the phase offset compensated sample, and applying the phase offset value (θoffset) when delivering a subsequent phase offset compensated sample.

Abstract: A direct alcohol fuel cell having an inner housing, and a proton exchange membrane separating an anode section from a cathode section. The anode section contains an anode collection element electrically connected to an anode catalyst that is in diffusive communication with a fuel supply. The cathode section contains a cathode collection element having one or more ventilation holes is electrically connected to a cathode catalyst. An oleophobic filter and/or an anion-exchange membrane is provided, which cathode catalyst via the one or more ventilation holes and the oleophobic filter and/or the anion-exchange membrane is in diffusive communication with a gaseous oxidant. The inner housing has a bottom and walls extending from the bottom to contain the anode section, the PEM and the cathode section, the bottom and/or the walls having holes allowing fluid communication from a fuel supply to the anode section. The fuel cell is suited for microelectronic devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tool for inserting an ear-tip of a hearing aid into an auditory canal of an end user. The tool comprises a first part and a second part, which are movable in relation to each other around at least one pivot joint. A cavity for receiving a holding portion of the ear-tip is provided between the first and the second part, which cavity is enlarged when a second portion of the first part and a second section of the second part are pressed together.

Abstract: A data system for handling user data for a hearing aid user and at least one hearing aid (10, 11) having a memory for storing personal settings for alleviating a hearing loss for the hearing aid user includes a remote server (25) accessible by means of an Internet enabled computer device. A personal communication device (13) is Internet enabled and is able to act as a gateway to the Internet for the at least one hearing aid. The user may create a user account on the remote server, enter personal information into the user account and store the entered personal information on the remote server, and enter the gateway information to the user account. The personal communication device and the at least one hearing aid are provided with respective transceivers for establishing a wireless connection under guidance of said application software. The least one hearing aid uploads the personal settings for alleviating the hearing loss via the gateway to the remote server for storing in the user account.
