20080249589METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OBTAINING AND REGISTERING AN ELECTRICAL COCHLEAR RESPONSE ("ECR") - This invention relates to a method and apparatus for obtaining and registering the Electrical Cochlear Response (“ECR”). Particularly, the ECR refers to the electrical activity of the auditory nerve and the intracochlear residual tissue located in the neighborhood of an intracochlear stimulation electrode, when an external sound is presented to a Cochlear Implant user, human or animal. Applicants recognize that an ECR can be thought of as a far-field electrical potential registered on the scalp of an implanted patient. Applicants, through their method and apparatus, can extract that potential from the patient's spontaneous electroencephalographic activity (EEG) and measure it by using an averaging algorithm. The Electrical Cochlear Response can be applied for adaptation, calibration, performance evaluation and failure detection of the Cochlear Implant of the implanted patient. Also Applicants' method can be applied to estimate the audiometric thresholds of the Cochlear Implant even without the implanted patient's knowledge.10-09-2008
20090259277Systems and Methods for Detecting and Using an Electrical Cochlear Response ("ECR") in Analyzing Operation of a Cochlear Stimulation System - Methods and systems for analyzing operation of a cochlear stimulation system. A sound stimulus signal is generated to excite the cochlear stimulation system to operate. During operation, the intracochlear electrodes generate signals into the auditory nerve system. The patient's nervous system's response may be measured as the Electrical Cochlear Response (“ECR”. The ECR can be detected and analyzed for fitting, calibration, performance evaluation and failure detection of the cochlear implant of the patient. Also example methods may be used to estimate the audiometric thresholds of the cochlear implant without the implanted patient's knowledge.10-15-2009

20110017354MATERIALS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ECOLOGICAL AMMUNITION AND OTHER APPLICATIONS - The present invention provides an ODS type material (Oxide dispersion strengthened or particle dispersion) which comprises an alloy metal matrix and a dispersion of strengthening particles distributed therein which provide the same with optimum density and deformability. Said metal matrix is constituted by an alloy of zinc and bismuth, of zinc and aluminium, of tin and bismuth, or of tin and zinc, the strengthening material being of tungsten or ferro tungsten, oxides of both, carbides of both, or derivatives of the same. Said new material can substitute for lead in the production of ecological ammunition, hooks for fishing, inertial counterweights in automobiles, X-rays and ionising radiation screens, golf sticks, water pipes and plumbing fittings, as well as in electrical and magnetic applications. The invention also provides an ecological ammunition manufactured from said composite material, such as, for example, pellets.01-27-2011

20090016689BIRD FLIGHT DIVERSION DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR FIXING SAME TO OVERHEAD WIRES AND CABLES - The invention relates to a device for diverting the flight of birds in order to prevent collisions with overhead wires and cables, such as high-voltage lines. The inventive device comprises a system for fixing same to overhead wires and cables, from which a central body is suspended. The fixing system enables the device to be mounted to or removed from overhead wires and cables of different diameters manually by one person. The diversion device comprises a modular construction, thereby facilitating the transport thereof and the replacement of any part if necessary. Once assembled, the volume of the device is greater than that of the individual parts. All of the device is made form an electrically-insulating polymer material which does not corrode the cables or wires. Moreover, the device can move and the components thereof can have different colours in order to render same more visible. In addition, the components of the device are perforated such as to have low wind resistance.01-15-2009
