    Abstract: A tinnitus method and device for providing relief to a person suffering from the disturbing effects of tinnitus is described. The method can be implemented entirely in software to spectrally modify an audio signal in accordance with a predetermined masking algorithm which modifies the intensity of the audio signal at selected frequencies. A predetermined masking algorithm is described which provides intermittent masking of the tinnitus wherein, at a comfortable listening level, during peaks of the audio signal the tinnitus is completely obscured, whereas during troughs the perception of the tinnitus occasionally emerges. In practice it has been found that such intermittent masking provides an immediate sense of relief, control and relaxation for the person, whilst enabling sufficient perception of the tinnitus for habituation and long term treatment to occur. Advantageously the predetermined masking algorithm is specifically tailored to the audiometric configuration of the person. For example, the masking algorithm may be partly tailored to the hearing loss characteristic of the person. A tinnitus rehabilitation device used in conjunction with a personal sound reproducing system is also described.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the production of spray deposited ingot, disc or bar is provided it which a spray of gas atomized molten metal or metal alloy particles generated with an atomizing device is directed onto a collector. The collector is rotated about an axis of rotation and a controlled amount of heat is extracted from the atomized particles in flight and on deposition. In order to maintain a substantially constant distance between the atomizing device and the surface of the deposited metal or metal alloy there is relative movement between the atomizing device and the collector. The spray is directed so that the main axis of the spray and the axis of rotation of the collector are inclined at an angle to one another; and the spray is oscillated so that the main axis of the spray oscillates relative to the axis of rotation of the collector. By the method of the invention the shape of deposit is not dependent on the shape or physical containment of the collector, for example, a mould as used in a casting process is not required.
