20130219996 | METHOD OF REJECTING A DEFECTIVE UNIT DOSE POUCH FROM A MANUFACTURING LINE - An in-line method of rejecting composition-filled pouches having a defect such as a leak comprises inspecting a first composition-filled pouch. If a leak is detected, that pouch is rejected from the manufacturing process. The pouch adjacent to the leak is also rejected. | 08-29-2013 |
20130222602 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING LEAKAGE FROM A COMPOSITION-CONTAINING POUCH - An apparatus and a method for detecting leakage from a composition-containing pouch during the high-speed manufacturing process. The apparatus comprises: a platen comprising a pouch cavity and a plurality of platen edges adjacent to the cavity; an image capturing unit; an image processing unit; and ultraviolet-light emitting source. The composition itself comprises a fluorescent whitening compound. The ultra-violet emitting light source is arranged to illuminate the cavity and plurality of platen edges. The image capturing unit is arranged to capture an image of the illuminated cavity and plurality of platen edges. The image capturing unit is communicably attached to the image processing unit. | 08-29-2013 |

20120022613 | Transcutaneous Modulated Power Link for a Medical Implant - A medical implant system such a Direct Acoustic Cochlear Stimulation and method for generating a transcutanous link between an external module and an internal module. A signal is generated in the external module by modulating an input signal using pulse modulation and then further modulating the pulse modulated signal using digital modulation. In the internal module, the received signal is processed using digital demodulation, the digitally demodulated signal being applied to the input of an amplifier to generate a control signal to control an actuator of the implant. A power component may also be extracted from the received signal in the internal module. | 01-26-2012 |
20120150259 | PORTABLE POWER CHARGING OF IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES - An implantable medical device, comprising an implantable component having a rechargeable power supply and an external wireless charger. The wireless charger has a rechargeable power supply, and an inductive coil configured to transcutaneously transfer power from the charger power supply to the implantable power supply, and configured to detect and receive, via the inductive coil, power from an auxiliary charger for recharging of the charger power supply. | 06-14-2012 |
20130023954 | Implantable Remote Control - The present application discloses systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for controlling one or more functions of a device utilizing one or more tags. In one example, a method for controlling one or more functions of a medical device includes scanning a data interface of the medical device for signals induced wirelessly by one or more gestures made with one or more tags associated with a recipient of the medical device and controlling one or more functions of the medical device based on the wirelessly induced signals. | 01-24-2013 |
