    摘要: An apparatus (100) and method (400) for detecting the presence of one or more chemical contaminants in/on a plurality of items, e.g. cork stoppers (110), using nose chips (310). The apparatus (100) utilizes detection sensor electronics (225) that are separate from the nose chips (310) such that each nose chip (310) can be either reused or discarded after use. The apparatus (100) moves the nose ch (310) and the cork stoppers (110) independently to align the cork stopper and a corresponding nose chip (310) with one another. The testing apparatus (100) uses multiple sensor units (135) to simultaneously test multiple cork stoppers (110) for chemical contaminants (e.g. TCA).

    摘要: The present invention is an apparatus for and method of remotely, automatically, and routinely conducting diagnostic testing on a programmable hearing aid to ensure that it is functioning as intended when optimized for an individual's needs and preferences. Because hearing aids deteriorate with time and buildup of earwax, individuals can be uncertain whether their hearing is worsening or the hearing aid is malfunctioning. The net effect is diminished hearing aid performance - and thus diminished quality of life. The present invention tests the hearing aid for proper function as frequently as daily.

    摘要: A searchable database contains rehabilitation plans for individuals having the same medical condition. The rehabilitation plans are indexed by scores corresponding to physical dimensions and personal environment dimensions characteristics of the respective individuals having the same medical condition and also by scores representative of actual success results associated with prescribing the respective rehabilitation plans. The database can be queried to identify rehabilitation plans for a dimension whose assessment information matches individual assessment information for the same dimension of an individual requiring rehabilitation for the same medical condition. In addition, the actual success scores can be used to identify rehabilitation plans in the database likely to be successful when prescribed to an individual. The individual assessment information and the identified rehabilitation plan prescribed to the individual, and also feedback obtained from the individual to which an identified plan is prescribed and also success results for the prescribed plan, can be used to update the database.

    摘要: A data storage media including customized hearing training information is created using troublesome content identified based on testing of an individual's hearing profile. The identified content, and amplification factors associated with the hearing profile and corresponding to the identified content, are stored on the media. The individual can readily access the media, which can be portable, to generate sound output representative of the identified content without, and adjusted by, the corresponding amplification factor, such that the individual can train his brain on the identified troublesome content before receiving a hearing aid.
