Patent application number	Description	Published
20100008526	OPTIMIZATION OF HEARING AID PARAMETERS - The present invention relates to a new method for effective estimation of signal processing parameters in a hearing aid. It is based on an interactive estimation process that incorporates—possibly inconsistent—user feedback. In particular, the present invention relates to optimization of hearing aid signal processing parameters based on Bayesian incremental preference elicitation.	01-14-2010
20100040247	LEARNING CONTROL OF HEARING AID PARAMETER SETTINGS - The present invention relates to a method for automatic adjustment of signal processing parameters in a hearing aid. It is based on an interactive estimation process that incorporates user feedback. The method is capable of incorporating user perception of sound reproduction, such as sound quality over time. The user may fine-tune the hearing aid using a volume-control wheel or a push-button on the hearing aid housing, which is linked to an adaptive parameter that is a projection of a relevant parameter space. For example, this new parameter could control simple volume, the number of active microphones, or a complex trade-off between noise reduction and signal distortion. By turning the “personalization wheel” in accordance with user preferences and absorbing these preferences in the model resident in the hearing aid, it is possible to absorb user preferences while the user wears the hearing aid device in the field.	02-18-2010

20090294263	Piezoelectric module for a switch, integrated in a housing - The invention relates to a piezoelectric module for a switch, comprising a substantially flat piezoelectric element arranged for emitting an electrical signal on mechanical deformation, electrical connecting means, positioning means and activating means wherein the positioning means comprise two elongated support elements extending substantially parallel, such support elements being positioned at a distance from the middle of the piezoelectric element and wherein the activating means comprise at least one projection moveable in the transverse direction of the piezoelectric element, such a projection engaging with the second side of the piezoelectric element between the support elements on the piezoelectric element. As a result of these measures, deformation only occurs in one direction, so that the element is not subjected to such a heavy load and the life of the piezoelectric element is expected to increase.	12-03-2009

20100226359	Synchronization of broadcast-only wireless networks - Time synchronization for nodes of a broadcast-only network is provided by combining two methods. The first method provides relative synchronization of communication frames of node broadcasts, so that all nodes have frames with aligned start and end times. The second method associates a network time with each frame at each node (i.e., each node locally tracks this network time). When a time-stamped message is received by a node, the node network time is set to the larger of its current value or the time stamp of the received message. Each node increments its network time by the same amount from one communication frame to the next.	09-09-2010
20100226645	Hybrid communication system providing grouping, localization and/or commissioning capability - Distinct physical channels in a network are exploited to provide capabilities that go significantly beyond conventional hybrid networks. In a first aspect, distinct physical channels are employed to determine physical relationships of the nodes with respect to each other. For example, whether or not the nodes of an RF wireless system are in the same room of a building can be determined by using optical messages passed between the nodes. In a second aspect, a first physical channel is employed for synchronized broadcasting, and a second physical channel is employed to enhance the capabilities of the synchronized broadcast network. For example, the nodes of an RF wireless broadcast network can be selectively commissioned (i.e., sensitized) with optical signals to commands that are broadcast on the RF network.	09-09-2010
