摘要： The present subject matter provides method and apparatus for hearing assistance devices, and more particularly to a system for evaluating hearing assistance device settings using detected sound environment. Various examples of a hearing assistance device and method using actual use and hypothetical use logs are provided. Such logs provide a dispenser or audiologist the ability to see how a device is operating with actual settings and how the device would have operated had hypothetical settings been used instead. In various examples, the system allows for collection of statistical information about actual and hypothetical use which can assist in parameter setting determinations for a specific user. The settings may be tailored to that user's commonly experienced sound environment. Wireless communications of usage logs is discussed. Additional method and apparatus can be found in the specification and as provided by the attached claims and their equivalents.

摘要： Embodiments of packet loss concealment for phone-to-hearing-aid streaming are generally described herein. A method for packet loss concealment can include receiving a first frame at a hearing assistance device, determining, at the hearing assistance device, that a second frame was not received within a predetermined time, and determining a first set of sequential samples that match the first frame. The method can include cross-fading the first frame and the first set of sequential samples to create a first cross-faded frame and extrapolating a third frame to replace the second frame using the first set of sequential samples and an autoregressive model.

摘要： Embodiments of packet loss concealment in a hearing assistance device are generally described herein. A method for packet loss concealment can include receiving, at a first hearing assistance device, a first encoded packet stream from a second hearing assistance device and a signal frame. The method can include encoding, at the first hearing assistance device, the signal frame and determining, at the first hearing assistance device, that a second encoded packet stream was not received from the second hearing assistance device within a predetermined time. In response to determining that the second encoded packet stream was not received, the method can include decoding, at the first hearing assistance device, the encoded signal frame, and outputting the signal frame and the decoded signal frame.

摘要： A method and system for calibration and compensation of color in a three dimensional display system includes user calibration of individual color channels using a multiplicity of grey screens while viewing with three dimensional glasses. Look-up tables are generated to ease conversion of input pixels to color corrected pixels to pre-distort the color of the pixels being driven by the three dimensional display system. Input pixels are then converted using the look-up tables and color corrected frames are displayed to a user. The pre-distortion effect allows a user to perceive colors in the three dimensional system as intended with the distortions caused by the viewing glasses and other aspects of the three dimensional display system.

摘要： Peer-to-peer mobility management in heterogeneous IP networks provides a peer-to-peer mobility module operable to intercept a data packet received at a communication protocol layer of an Internet Protocol communication stack. A translation table may be stored on memory device. The translation table stores real address of one or more network interfaces and a corresponding virtual address. The peer-to-peer mobility module may be further operable to modify the intercepted data packet using the real address and virtual address stored on the translation table.
