Abstract:
A hearing loss compensation apparatus includes a microphone configured to collect an ambient sound and generate an audio signal based on the collected ambient sound. A hearing loss compensation apparatus body inserted into an ear of a hearing impaired patient is configured to compensate for the audio signal based on auditory characteristics of the hearing impaired patient. The hearing loss compensation apparatus body is further configured to output the audio signal in a direction of an eardrum of the hearing impaired patient. A connection member is configured to connect the microphone to the hearing loss compensation apparatus body and fix a position of the microphone to be inside an ear canal of the hearing impaired patient.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for inputting audiogram using a touch input are provided. An audiogram input apparatus includes: an input receiver configured to receive a touch input from a user; a data processor configured to generate an audiogram corresponding to the touch input; and a display unit configured to display the generated audiogram.
Abstract:
A full-automatic washing machine with a simple shaft system including a single rotating shaft to generate a composite current of wash water while having a pulsator and a drum integrally rotated during a washing cycle and a spin-dry cycle, thereby improving the washing power is provided. The washing machine includes a tub configured to store wash water, a drum disposed inside the tub, a driving apparatus to rotate the drum, and a circulating duct to guide wash water at a lower portion of the drum toward an upper portion of the drum. The drum includes a cylindrical body portion having an open upper and a lower surface, a bowl portion coupled to the lower surface of the body portion and having a center opened, and a bottom portion configured coupled to the center of the bowl portion to cover the center of the bowl portion.
Abstract:
A washing machine including a cabinet with an opening, a door that opens and closes to uncover and cover the opening, respectively, and a door locking device that selectively restrains a motion of the door when the door is closed. This configuration may be used to prevent the door from opening when, for example, the washing machine is in operation. In addition, a structure of a front portion of the opening may facilitate loading and unloading of laundry.
Abstract:
A washing machine including: a cabinet; a tub mounted inside the cabinet to receive washing water; a rotating drum mounted inside the tub to load laundry therein; and an injection unit to inject washing water inside of the rotating drum. The injection unit includes: a plurality of nozzles spaced away from each other to inject washing water inside of the rotating drum at different positions; and a connector configured to include a plurality of passages so that a flow path of washing water diverges into the plurality of nozzles. Washing water may be injected by the spaced nozzles over a wide area inside the drum.
Abstract:
A hearing device and a method for fitting the hearing device are provided. The method for fitting a monaural hearing device involve obtaining audiograms of both ears, and adjusting an amplification gain based on the audiograms of both ears, in which the audiograms comprise an audiogram of a first ear for wearing the monaural hearing device and an audiogram of a second ear not wearing the monaural hearing device.
Abstract:
A hearing device, an acoustic apparatus and a sound processing method thereof are provided. The method includes detecting audio signals, determining whether the audio signals include a voice signal of a user, and controlling amplification of the audio signals according to a result of the determination.
Abstract:
A method of creating a model of an organ, includes creating a shape model, including a blood vessel structure, of the organ based on three-dimensional (3D) images of the organ, and compartmentalizing the shape model into areas based on an influence of a blood vessel tree with respect to a deformation of the shape model, the blood vessel tree indicating the blood vessel structure. The method further includes deforming the blood vessel structure of the shape model to fit a blood vessel structure of a two-dimensional (2D) image of the organ, and creating the model of the organ based on the deformed blood vessel structure and the areas.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method to create a model of a target organ of a patient. The apparatus and method generate a deformation matrix between at least two shape models of a target organ based on at least two three-dimensional (3D) images of the target organ. The apparatus and method also extract constraints about the target organ from a two-dimensional (2D) image of the target organ. The apparatus and method create the model of the target organ based on the constraints and the deformation matrix.
Abstract:
A washing machine including a tub, a spin basket rotatably mounted in the tub, a pulsator rotatably mounted in the spin basket and having a pulsator hub part extending downward from a center portion of the pulsator, a driving device to generate rotational force, a wash shaft to transmit the rotational force generated from the driving device to the pulsator, and a buoyancy clutch upwardly and downwardly movably mounted to the pulsator hub part and configured to move up and down by buoyancy. The buoyancy clutch is configured to rotate together with the pulsator. When the buoyancy clutch moves down, the spin basket is engaged with the buoyancy clutch and receives the rotational force.
