| 20080319508 | Automatic Determination of the Threshold of an Evoked Neural Response - Automatically analysing an evoked neural response. The method comprises: applying electrical stimulation to a target neural region at incrementally greater current levels beginning with an initial current level that is as close as possible to a typical threshold-NRT level; recording an NRT measurement of an auditory signal which generated by the target neural region in response to the stimulation; and utilizing a machine-learned expert system to predict whether the NRT measurement contains a neural response based on a plurality of features extracted from the auditory signal. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20100106218 | CONFIGURATION OF A STIMULATION MEDICAL IMPLANT - A method for configuring a medical implant that stimulates a physiological system of a recipient of the medical implant is described where the medical implant includes at least one input configuration variable corresponding to a subjective characteristic of the physiological system. The configuration method includes measuring at least one physical characteristic of the physiological system to provide at least one objective physical measurement value and then determining the at least one input configuration variable to configure the medical implant by a predictive configuration model having as an input the at least one objective physical measurement value. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100268302 | FITTING A COCHLEAR IMPLANT - A method and system for fitting a medical implant to a recipient is disclosed. The medical implant is operative to stimulate a physiological system of the recipient over a plurality of stimulation channels. The method includes the steps of determining an initial stimulation profile for the plurality of stimulation channels and then determining a fitting stimulation profile by modifying the form or shape of the initial stimulation profile. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20110082521 | AUTOMATIC MEASUREMENT OF AN EVOKED NEURAL RESPONSE CONCURRENT WITH AN INDICATION OF A PSYCHOPHYSICS REACTION - A method of fitting to a recipient a cochlear implant including a plurality of stimulation channels. The method comprises applying to at least one stimulation channel of the cochlear implant a first stimulus signal comprising a neural response component and a psychophysics signal component, automatically measuring a strength of an evoked compound action potential (ECAP) of the recipient evoked in response to the application of the neural response component of the first stimulus signal, and simultaneously providing to a user an indication of the automatically measured strength of the ECAP and a value of the applied psychophysics signal component. | 04-07-2011 |

| 20110015700 | PROVISION OF STIMULUS COMPONENTS HAVING VARIABLE PERCEPTABILITY TO STIMULATING DEVICE RECIPIENT - The automatic measurement of evoked compound action potential (ECAP) thresholds of the auditory nerve; that is, a neural response, concurrently with the performance of psychophysics measurements of a prosthetic hearing implant recipient. During the fitting process, a stimulus signal comprising two components is applied to each stimulation channel. One signal component is configured to elicit an ECAP neural response, referred to herein as a neural response signal component. The other component is configured to elicit a response to a psychophysics stimulation, referred to herein as a psychophysics signal component. Indications of the psychophysics measurement and the concurrently obtained neural response measurements are provided to the user. For the psychophysics measurement, this includes the selected characteristics of the psychophysics signal component since the results of the applied stimulation is a recipient behavioral or auditory response. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20090201970 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING GAS MIXTURE QUALITY - A method and system for monitoring the quality of a given gas mixture being transmitted under pressure by throttling a sample of the gas mixture to a representative pressure and measuring the hydrocarbon dew point of the sample at the representative pressure. The measured hydrocarbon dew point is indicative of the cricondentherm of the gas mixture. The representative pressure is pre-selected to provide a pre-selected margin of error between measured hydrocarbon dew points of a set of representative gas mixtures at the representative pressure and respective cricondentherms of the set of representative gas mixtures. | 08-13-2009 |
