20090074219 | Hearing Aid - A hearing aid has a housing, in which an electrical heating device is disposed in the housing. Because of the electrical heating device, moisture that occurs inside of the housing can be removed from the housing in a simple way, irrespective of whether a watertight hearing aid or an open system is concerned. | 03-19-2009 |
20090116673 | HEARING AID, IN PARTICULAR A BEHIND-THE-EAR HEARING AID, AND A METHOD OF ASSEMBLING A HEARING AID - A hearing aid, in particular a behind-the-ear hearing aid, has a speaker for generating a sound signal, a connecting piece for emitting the sound signal, and a flexible sound tube for transporting the sound signal from the speaker to the connecting piece. The flexible sound tube is flexible at least in a longitudinal center section in a direction orthogonally to longitudinal direction. A method of assembling a hearing aid has the following steps: a longitudinal end of a flexible sound tube is fitted on/in a connecting piece or a speaker of the hearing aid; the flexible sound tube is bent toward the speaker or the connecting piece; and the second longitudinal end of the flexible sound tube is fitted on/in the speaker or on the connecting piece. | 05-07-2009 |
20090129617 | Hearing aid device, in particular IE hearing device - Disclosed is a hearing aid device, in particular an IE hearing device with a battery receiving space and a battery charger, with it being possible to move a battery for the hearing aid device into the battery receiving space by means of the battery charger, and for an immersion depth of the battery into the battery receiving space to be varied as a function of an embodiment of the battery charger. The invention also relates to a hearing aid device set with a hearing aid device and a plurality of differently embodied battery chargers, as well as a method for the production of the hearing aid device. | 05-21-2009 |
20090290733 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CUSTOMIZING A HEARING AID CASING - Systems and methods are provided for customizing a hearing aid casing. A user accesses a software program that allows him or her to select a type of a hearing aid. The software program further allows the user to select a motif to be displayed on at least a portion of the hearing aid casing. The software program may automatically size the selected motif based on the type of the hearing aid selected, and the selected motif may be printed on a film. The film then is coupled to the hearing aid casing to display the motif on one or more surfaces of the hearing aid casing. | 11-26-2009 |
20100260368 | HEARING DEVICE WITH BATTERY FLAP MODULE - Shells of hearing devices, and in particular for hearing aids, are frequently manufactured using an RSM method and battery flaps are injection-molded. Problems arise frequently due to the varying error tolerances of the two processes when the battery compartment is locked into position on the shell. For this reason a hearing device with a shell, which has a battery opening and a battery flap, which is injection-molded from plastic, is provided for closing the battery opening. The hearing device also has a module which is likewise injection-molded from plastic, on which the battery flap is pivotally supported and which has a detent mechanism via which the battery flap locks into place detachably in a closed position to prevent a pivot movement. Since the injection-molded battery flap locks into position with the injection-molded module, the error tolerances of the shell, often produced by an RSM method, play no part. | 10-14-2010 |

20120012594 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR STRUCTURING THE SURFACE OF A HARD MATERIAL COATED SOLID BODY BY MEANS OF A LASER - In the method for structuring at least one area of a solid body surface provided with a ta-C coating, a mask in the homogenous spot of the optical system is used in order to shape the beam in the mask projection technique and then a diaphragm in front of the imaging optics. A structure is applied by means of an excimer laser having pulse durations in the nanosecond range, a number of mask and diaphragm combinations being arranged in a exchanger device and the exchanger device being adapted to place both one of the masks and one of the diaphragms in the beam path of the laser independently of each other, the masks and diaphragms being arranged in holders while being displaceable linearly or rotatively and rotatable about themselves. This method allows the rational manufacture of very complex, extremely fraud-resistant authentication features and/or of esthetically attractive, optical diffraction effective colored patterns. | 01-19-2012 |
20120018993 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR STRUCTURING THE SURFACE OF A HARD MATERIAL COATED SOLID BODY BY MEANS OF A LASER - In the method for structuring at least one area of a solid body surface provided with a ta-C coating, by means of a first laser, preferably an excimer laser having pulse durations in the nanosecond range, a first structure is produced upon which a second, ripple-like structure is superposed by means of a second laser, preferably having pulse durations in the femtosecond range. Preferentially, the excimer laser structuring is carried out according to the mask projection technique and the femtosecond laser structuring according to the focus technique. This method allows the rational manufacture of very complex, extremely fraud-resistant authentication features and/or of esthetically attractive, optical diffraction effective colored patterns. | 01-26-2012 |
20120237731 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING MASKS FOR A LASER INSTALLATION - In the method for producing masks and/or diaphragms for a laser installation for the creation of microstructures on a solid body surface according to the mask projection technique, predetermined opaque surface portions which scatter the laser radiation are produced in the mask and/or diaphragm substrate by roughening and modifying the latter by means of a femtosecond, picosecond or fluor laser beam. Such masks and diaphragms have a strongly improved lifetime and accuracy and may e.g. serve for the creation of blazed gratings which, arranged in diffraction grating arrays on a solid body surface, serve for producing spectral colors and mixed colors of high brilliance. | 09-20-2012 |
