This invention relates to a hearing aid system (100, 200, 300) for generating auditory spatial cues. The hearing aid system (100, 200, 300) comprises a first microphone unit (306) adapted to convert sound received at a first microphone (102) and received at a second microphone (104), a first delay unit (106) connected to the first microphone (102) delaying the signal from the first microphone (102), a first calculation unit (108) for summing the delayed signal of the first microphone (102) and signal of the second microphone (104), a processor unit (110) processing the summed signal, and a speaker converting the processed signal to a processed sound. The first and second microphones (102, 104) are separated by a predetermined first distance and the first delay unit (106) provides a predetermined first delay thereby generating a first auditory spatial cue representing a first spatial dimension in the summed signal.

Method and apparatus for converting thermal energy to mechanical energy

A method and apparatus for converting thermal energy to mechanical energy which can use a wide range of fuels and perform with a high efficiency. Operating on a little utilized thermodynamic cycle of isentropic compression, isothermal expansion, isentropic expansion and finally constant pressure cooling and contraction. The external heat engine utilizes a heat exchanger carrying heat from the external energy source to the working parts of the engine. Pistons and cylinders are activated by appropriate means to adiabatically compress the working fluid, for example ambient air, to transfer the entire mass of the air through the heat exchanger to accomplish isothermal expansion followed by adiabatic expansion and, finally, exhaust the air to ambient to allow for constant pressure cooling and contraction. Valve pistons in conjunction with the cylinders form valves that allow for the exchange of working fluid with ambient. Energy is added to the engine during isothermal expansion, whereby the energy of compression is added by a flywheel or other appropriate energy storage means, said flywheel stores energy recovered during adiabatic expansion. The thermodynamic cycle described and the engine embodiments disclosed, when run in reverse, perform as a heat pump or refrigeration device.

Concentrated film delivery systems

A water soluble strip that includes a carrier film that include water soluble polymer, one or more actives and one or more agents such as heat forming agent and / or degrading accelerator. The water soluble strip can optionally include other additives. The actives includes antimicrobial agent, cleaning agent and / or surfactant. The water soluble strip can include other materials. The heat forming agent and / or degrading accelerator, when used, are designed facilitate in degrading or dissolving the water soluble strip and / or increase the activity of the one or more actives. The water soluble film can be used for a variety of applications such as a hard surface cleaning strip, dishwashing strip, laundry cleaning strip, stop removing strip, drain unclogging strip, toilet bowl cleaning strip and the like. The water soluble strip eliminates the need to purchase and store numerous containers and / or heavy containers of cleaner that take up large amounts of shelf space.

Power LDMOS transistor

ActiveUS20070034942A1Advantageous switch performanceHigh channel densityTransistorSolid-state devicesEngineeringElectrical and Electronics engineering
A LDMOS transistor comprises a trench formed through the epitaxial layer at least to the top surface of the substrate, the trench having a bottom surface and a sidewall contacting the source region and the portion of the channel region extending under the source region. A first insulating layer is formed over the upper surface and sidewall surfaces of the conductive gate. A continuous layer of conductive material forming a source contact and a gate shield electrode is formed along the bottom surface and the sidewall of the trench and over the first insulating layer to cover the top and sidewall surfaces of the conductive gate. A second insulating layer is formed over an active area of the transistor, including over the continuous layer of conductive material and filling the trench. A drain electrode can extend over the second insulating layer to substantially cover the active area.
