Subarachnoid spinal catheter for transporting cerebrospinal fluid

Provided is a multi-lumen intrathecal catheter capable of use for circulating a fluid through a portion of the spinal cord of a patient and having an insertable portion adapted for insertion into the spinal cord, comprising: a first lumen having a distal and a proximal end, the proximal end being adapted to being connected to a reservoir containing a fluid; a first fluid exchange section connected to the distal end of the first lumen having at least one inlet; a second lumen having a distal and a proximal end; and a second fluid exchange section connected to the distal and of the second lumen having at least one outlet, wherein at least one inlet and at least one outlet are offset from each other.

Soft, prioritized early packet discard system

A Soft, Prioritised Early Packet Discard System is provided, which is suitable for satellite onboard switching and very-high-speed terrestrial switching applications. The system counts the number of newly arriving packets, calculates and regularly updates an average queue size, which is used in setting a packet-count threshold via a descending staircase function. When the number of newly arriving packets reaches the packet-count threshold and when the average queue size reaches or exceeds the congestion threshold; a packet is discarded and the packet-counter is reset to zero. The counting of packets is halted while the average queue size remains below the congestion threshold. The regular dropping of packets allows simplified hardware implementations. In calculating the average queue size, a progressively higher exponential queue-length averaging parameter is used for higher instantaneous queue length, to provide faster reaction to congestion situations. The averaging parameters and packet-count thresholds are implemented using lookup tables. A priority-based method is incorporated to better match the Quality of Service requirements associated with a service class.

Online Anti-feedback system for a hearing aid

The invention relates to a hearing aid system comprising an input transducer, a forward path, an output transducer and an electrical feedback path, the forward path comprising a signal processing unit for modifying an electrical input signal to a specific hearing profile over a predefined frequency range, wherein the predefined frequency range comprises a number of frequency bands, for which maximum forward gain values IGmax for each band can be stored in a memory, the electrical feedback path comprising an adaptive filter for estimating acoustical feedback from the output to the input transducer. The invention further relates to a method of adapting a hearing aid system to varying acoustical input signals. The object of the present invention is to provide an alternative acoustic feedback compensation scheme. The object is fulfilled in that the hearing aid system further comprises an online feedback manager unit for—with a predefined update frequency—identifying current feedback gain in each frequency band of the feedback path, and for subsequently adapting the maximum forward gain values in each of the frequency bands in dependence thereof in accordance with a predefined scheme. This has the advantage of providing a diminished probability for disturbing feedback improved feedback cancellation. The invention may e.g. be used in digital hearing aids for use in a variety of acoustical environments.
