摘要:
Apparatus, systems and methods for reducing feedback in a hearing aid that includes a transducer configured to detect sound, a sound processor configured to process signals from the transducer, a receiver configured to receive signals outputted from the sound processor, and an acoustic feedback reduction system. The acoustic feedback reduction system is configured to provide signals to the sound processor to produce a null targeting signal steerable toward a source of feedback.

摘要:
Apparatus, systems, and methods are provided for the generation and control of energy delivery in a dosage to elicit a therapeutic response in diseased tissue. A balloon catheter can have electrodes attached to a power generator and controller such that the balloon and electrodes contact tissue during energy treatment. Energy selectively may be applied to tissue based on measured impedance to achieve gentle heating. Calibration of the apparatus and identification of attached accessories by computing the circuit impedance prior to energy dosage facilitate regulation of power delivery about a set point. Energy delivery can be controlled to achieve substantially uniform bulk tissue temperature distribution. Energy delivery may beneficially affect nerve activity.
摘要:
An injector system for delivery of a pharmacological agent to biological tissue having a plurality of needles arranged in an array, a plurality of reservoirs configured to receive a pharmacological composition therein, the reservoirs being in fluid communication with a respective one of the plurality of needles, a pneumatic pressure source, a pneumatic drive system that is configured to induce a first discharge of the pharmacological composition out of the reservoirs and needles in a plurality of delivery modes, agent delivery volume control means for controlling volume of the pharmacological composition discharged from the needles, and a control system having actuation control means for controlling said pneumatic drive system. The control system is programmed to control the delivery modes.

摘要:
A catheter and catheter system can use energy tailored for remodeling and/or removal of target material along a body lumen, often of atherosclerotic material of a blood vessel of a patient. An elongate flexible catheter body with a radially expandable structure may have a plurality of electrodes or other electrosurgical energy delivery surfaces to radially engage atherosclerotic material when the structure expands. An atherosclerotic material detector system may measure and/or characterize the atherosclerotic material and its location, optionally using impedance monitoring.
摘要:
A hearing aid system comprising first and second ear units or hearing aids, and an external audio signal receiver, the first and second ear units including an audio sensor and transceiver, the audio sensor being configured to detect audio signals emanating from the environment, the transceiver being configured to transmit directionality signals representing amplitude and phase of detected audio signals to said acoustic signal receiver, the audio signal receiver including processing means for processing the audio and directionality signals and generating reconstructed acoustic signals that include direction parameters representing a direction of origin of at least one audio signal, the audio signal receiver further including wireless signal transmission means for transmitting the reconstructed acoustic signals to the ear units.
