Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080259058Systems and Methods For User Interfaces Designed For Rotary Input Devices - Systems and methods for providing visual navigation cues in user interfaces for use with rotary input devices are described. One described method comprises causing a plurality of graphical objects to be displayed in an arc. The curvature of the arc is configured to convey the ordinal relationship for navigating between each of the plurality of graphical objects with a rotary input device. The curvature of the arc is independent of the spatial relationship between the rotary input device and a display.10-23-2008
20100283588Systems And Methods For Providing A Haptic Device - Systems and methods for providing haptic feedback in a user interface are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a manipulandum, a rotor in communication with the manipulandum, an actuator in communication with the rotor, and a biasing element disposed between the manipulandum and the rotor. The actuator may be configured to vary a force on the rotor. The biasing element may be configured to store at least a portion of energy input to the apparatus when the actuator increases the force on the rotor, and to provide at least a portion of the stored energy to the manipulandum when the actuator decreases the force on the rotor, or when the manipulandum is released.11-11-2010

20110275953Hearing Treatment In Patients With Questionable Cochlear Nerve Functionality - An intraoperative approach for objective determination of auditory nerve functioning is described. Following surgical removal of tumor tissue impairing auditory functioning of a patient, an electrode array having electrode contacts is intra-operatively inserted into the cochlea of the patient. A diagnostic stimulation signal is provided to the electrode contacts to stimulate auditory nerve tissue within the cochlea. And an electrically evoked functional response is measured of the auditory nerve tissue to the stimulation signal.11-10-2011
