Abstract:
A flap thickness measurement system includes a reference cochlear stimulation system. The reference cochlear stimulation system includes a sound processor, a transmitter that transmits a telemetric signal, and a cochlear stimulator having a receiver that receives the telemetric signal and transmits a signal back to the transmitter. The system further includes one or more flap simulators having one or more known thicknesses that is positioned between the transmitter and receiver. Also included is a microprocessor that receives and processes data representative of tank voltage from the reference cochlear stimulation system.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and method for integrating and assembling plurality of service delivery tools created on disparate technologies on a product assembly platform. Further, the invention provides a reference architecture and method for orchestrating the assembled plurality of service delivery tools and monitoring the lifecycle activities of the plurality of service delivery tools.

Abstract:
A method and system for implementing an acoustical front end customization are disclosed. The customization is implemented to optimize the sound level for each individual cochlear implant user. A known audio signal is generated using a sound source and captured by a microphone system. The captured sound signal is sampled at one or more locations along the signal processing pathway, and a spectrum is determined for the sampled signal and the known signal. A ratio of the two spectrums is related to the undesired transformation of the sampled signal, and a digital filter is designed based on the ratio to filter out the undesired transformation.
Abstract:
An effective Staphylococcus aureus vaccine may require several antigenic components, and so various combinations of S. aureus antigens are identified for use in immunisation. These polypeptides may optionally be used in combination with S. aureus saccharides.

Abstract:
A method for reducing the effects of decreased resolution in a cochlear implant worn by an individual includes 1) determining the value of the individual's resolution region, 2) analyzing a plurality of dominant components within a sound signal, 3) removing a component that has lesser associated energy of two or more components that are within the resolution region of one another, thereby producing a sound signal with a reduced pattern of components, and 4) transmitting the reduced pattern signal to an array of electrodes associated with the cochlear implant.
