20100313762 | System For Generating A Useful Gas Enriched In A Given Component - A system for obtaining oxygen-enriched air from ambient air comprises an absorber moving bed separating unit whose adsorption material binds oxygen and nitrogen to a different degree. To flush out moisture remaining in the moving bed material, it is proposed to connect a useful gas store which comprises the oxygen-enriched air to the inlet of the separating unit at time intervals via a controllable flush valve, and to flush the moisture out of the moving bed material in the useful gas store by means of dry gas. This shortens the start phase which elapses after switching on until steady-state conditions are established. | 12-16-2010 |

20100002887 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A BINAURAL HEARING SYSTEM AS WELL AS A BINAURAL HEARING SYSTEM - A hearing system and a method for operating a binaural hearing system include at least two hearing devices to be at least partly inserted into or to be worn behind the left and right ear of a user. Each hearing device includes at least one microphone to generate an electrical signal corresponding to an acoustic signal. The method includes determining contra-lateral information based on an acoustic signal recorded by a microphone of the contra-lateral hearing device, and determining ipsi-lateral information based on an acoustic signal recorded by a microphone of the ipsi-lateral hearing device. The method includes providing a coordination level, the coordination level being indicative of a degree of synchronization of the two hearing devices, and adjusting processes in the ipsi-lateral hearing device in accordance with the coordination level. The coordination level can be determined from the contra-lateral information and/or from the ipsi-lateral information, or be obtained from an external device. | 01-07-2010 |
