Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120063731Bundled optical fiber cable with grooved jacket - An optical fiber cable for bundled drop applications has a plurality of optical fiber sub-units stranded together in an S-Z lay configuration and a jacket surrounding and holding the sub-units in the S-Z configuration without assistance from binder threads. The jacket contacts at least some of the sub-units and has one, but preferably at least two, longitudinally disposed grooves on an external surface. With at least two grooves, the sub-units are accessed by bending the cable until the jacket buckles between the grooves, cutting the jacket at the buckle, and peeling back a portion of the jacket longitudinally between the grooves.03-15-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100132973Electrical power cable with frangible insulation shield - An electrical power cable has an insulation shield with at least one path of weakness along a length of the cable to facilitate stripping. When the path of weakness is a score or groove, a thickness of the insulation shield—between a bottom of the at least one groove and the outer surface of the underlying insulation layer is about 1-15 mils. Preferably, blades arranged around the circumference cable following extrusion of the insulation shield cut the at least one groove continuously into the shield along the cable's length. The at least one groove, or other means for imparting weakness, enables an installer to easily strip the insulation shield in the field with minimal use of specialized tools.06-03-2010

20100284557FREQUENCY TRANSLATION BY HIGH-FREQUENCY SPECTRAL ENVELOPE WARPING IN HEARING ASSISTANCE DEVICES - Disclosed herein, among other things, is a system for frequency translation by high-frequency spectral envelope warping in hearing assistance devices. The present subject matter relates to improved speech intelligibility in a hearing assistance device using frequency translation by high-frequency spectral envelope warping. The system described herein implements an algorithm for performing frequency translation in an audio signal processing device for the purpose of improving perceived sound quality and speech intelligibility in an audio signal when presented using a system having reduced bandwidth relative to the original signal, or when presented to a hearing-impaired listener sensitive to only a reduced range of acoustic frequencies.11-11-2010
20110137656SOUND CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FOR HEARING AIDS - A hearing aid includes a sound classification module to classify environmental sound sensed by a microphone. The sound classification module executes an advanced sound classification algorithm. The hearing aid then processes the sound according to the classification.06-09-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090056623COATING SYSTEM AND METHOD - An apparatus and system for electromotively coating a part can include a conveyor that has a plurality of hangars that are configured to be positively connected to respective parts that are to be coated. An attachment mechanism can be provided on the hangar and the part, the attachment mechanism being configured to exert force in more than a single direction. The part can be a conductive plastic part and can include an attachment structure that is formed thereon, for example, screw threads integrally formed in the part. The hangar can include a similar fastener that is configured to connect to the attachment structure of the part. For example, the fastener of the hangar can be a screw thread that mates with threads integrally or otherwise formed on the part. Other combinations of attachment structures and fasteners can be used to provide the mechanical and electrical coupling between the hangar and the part such that a robust electrical and mechanical connection can be achieved between the conveyor and the part to be coated.03-05-2009
20110061477ACCELERATED WEATHERING TECHNIQUE - A method for creating condensation in an accelerated weathering device, the method having the step of creating condensation in a weathering chamber of an accelerated weathering device by cooling a surface in the chamber to a temperature that is colder than the dew point of the air inside the chamber. An accelerated weathering device having a weathering chamber and at least one radiant cooling tube that is either touching or less than about 2.5 centimeters away from at least one surface in the weathering chamber so that by passing a fluid through the at least one radiant cooling tube, the temperature of the a least one surface can be decreased as a result of the radiant cooling from the radiant cooling tube.03-17-2011

20110301971Healthcare System Planning Tool - A system for planning at a healthcare facility employs a database that stores health care facility impacting data including demographic data describing a preselected set of aspects of a population residing within a defined geographic area. A simulator applies modeling tools to the health care facility impacting data and generates output data corresponding to selected data in the health care facility impacting data. The modeling tools include a protocols of care tool; a service configuration modeling tool; a financial analysis tool; and a facility modeling tool. A video monitor displays an image of a map with a visual representation of the geographic area and a plurality of dynamically configurable data display objects that are superimposed on the map. Each data display object is disposed adjacent to a location of a different healthcare facility and each displays output data generated by the simulator.12-08-2011
