摘要:
For reducing feedback-conditioned oscillations in a hearing aid device, microphone signals of a first microphone and of a distanced, second microphone are compared to one another. When oscillations are detected at the same frequency in both microphone signals, these oscillations are determined to be useful (non-feedback) tonal signals. Oscillations that are only present in one of the microphone signals, in contrast, are feedback-conditioned and are suppressed using suitable measures.
摘要:
In a method and circuit for the amplification of input signals of a hearing aid, a compression of the signals picked up by the hearing aid ensues in a AGC circuit dependent on the acquirable signal level. For assuring a dynamics compression, the method and circuit implement a signal analysis for the recognition of the acoustic situation in addition to the acquisition of the signal level of the input signal, and the behavior of the dynamics compression is adaptively varied on the basis of the result of the signal analysis. A fixed input-output characteristic that is usually defined on the basis of stationary signals forms the basis of parameter settings of a dynamics compression has been used in conventional calculations. The resulting time behavior for the compensation of input signals by a hearing aid exhibits an effectively different compression given time-variable, modulated signals, particularly given speech. The result is that the compression parameters are not optimally set for all signals. This result is avoided in the method and circuit described herein.

A method for limiting the dynamic range of audio signals (S) provides for control of the dynamic range limiting on the basis of the instantaneous frequency of the audio signal (S) which is to be compressed as a control parameter.
摘要:
A composition which is particularly useful in semi-rigid medical supporting bandages comprising10 to 35% zinc oxide2 to 15% cellulose ether10 to 35% glycerin30 to 75% water.The composition is coated onto at least one side of a suitable substrate to form the bandage and is irradiated in order to preserve sterility. Preferably, the radiation would take place after the bandages have been packaged.

In a surgical composition comprising a liquid monomeric and powdered polymeric acrylate or methacrylate, a catalyst and an accelerator, the composition upon mixing of the liquid and powdered constituents passing through a plastic state to a solid state, the improvement which comprises including in the composition about 1 to 15% by weight of dimethyl sulfoxide. The product exhibits reduced cytotoxicity.
摘要:
A powder mixture for surgical use, containing a methyl methacrylate homopolymer and/or copolymer powder, an X-ray contrast medium powder and a polymerization initiator, wherein the polymerization initiator is present as a combination product with the polymer powder or the X-ray contrast medium. This powder mixture is suitable for the preparation of surgical compositions which harden and are based on polymethyl methacrylate or its copolymers.
摘要:
A method for extracting periodic signal components from at least one superimposed signal has the following steps: the superimposed signal is split into subsegments of the same period lengths (T1, T2, . . . , Tn) for a respective set of predefined period lengths (T1, T2, . . . , Tn), and for each period length (T1, T2, . . . , Tn) a superimposition of the signal values of the respective subsegments is formed.
摘要:
The exhaust gas stream is passed through a bed of a granular adsorbent for separating noxious substances. The bed consists of the mixture of a granular high-carbon material and a granular inert material. The bulk density of the inert material is 0.8 to 3 times the bulk density of the carbonaceous material. Preferably, the content of the high-carbon material in the bed is 5 to 80 wt-%. The high-carbon material may for instance be activated carbon, activated coke or lignite coke. As inert material there may for instance be used siliceous rock, pumice, lava, slag, vitrification residues or fine gravel.
摘要:
Surgical material based on liquid monomeric and pulverulent polymeric acrylates and/or methacrylates, catalysts, accelerators and, if appropriate, customary additives, which passes via a plastic state into the solid state by mixing of the liquid and pulverulent components, and which contains 1-15% by weight, based on the total weight, of one or more non-toxic, liquid aliphatic, saturated mono-, di- or tri-carboxylic acids with 1-6 carbon atoms and, if appropriate, 1 or 2 hydroxyl groups, completely or partially esterified with mono-, di- or tri-hydric alcohols with 1-4 carbon atoms, or liquid ethylene glycols or 1,2- or 1,3-propylene glycols with in each case 2 to about 30 glycol units, these liquids having a boiling point above 100.degree. C., preferably above 150.degree. C.
摘要:
A process for the impregnation of active carbon with an iodine compound in which the solution is also provided with a reducing agent preferably hydrazine or a compound capable of decomposing to produce sulfur dioxide (e.g. a sulfite or hydrogen sulfite) or solubilized sulfur dioxide. The impregnated active carbon can be used for the removal of sulfur dioxide or hydrogen sulfide from a gas stream.
