20130088233 | Shield for Electronic Circuit - A metal structure includes a plurality of non-contiguous subsections on a substrate. The subsections are at least partially capacitively connected to one another. This is achieved by the subsections having overlaps on both sides of the substrate and/or by the subsections being connected to one another by capacitors. The capacitive coupling produced constitutes a short circuit for high frequencies and an open circuit for low frequencies. This results in the frequency-selective surface. | 04-11-2013 |
20130329925 | HEARING INSTRUMENT SYSTEM WITH A RECHARGEABLE BATTERY - A hearing instrument system with a rechargeable battery or accumulator is optimized for everyday use, in particular for EOL detection, and the performance and service life of the accumulator. A hearing instrument, an accumulator system, and a charging system each have an energy transfer interface and a communication interface. The energy transfer interface and communication interface on the accumulator side can establish an energy transfer link and/or communication link on the charge and hearing instrument side. The accumulator system provides energy to the hearing instrument and transmits state of charge information generated by an accumulator control facility to the hearing instrument by way of the respective communication link. The transmission of the state of charge information enables a reliable state of charge detection in the case of batteries, whose state of charge cannot be identified on their voltage, for instance Li-ion systems with closed-loop controlled voltage. | 12-12-2013 |
20140241557 | WIRELESS CHARGING SYSTEM FOR HEARING INSTRUMENTS - A facility is provided for the wireless resonant charging of rechargeable hearing instruments. The hearing instrument is freely positionable in a charging device for charging purposes. The charging device for the wireless charging has a transmit antenna arrangement, a transmit amplifier for actuating the transmit antenna arrangement and a charging space. The transmit antenna arrangement has two feeding points, which are spatially arranged in relation to the charging space such that a circularly polarized electromagnetic field can thus be generated in the charging space. The transmit amplifier actuates the antennas accordingly to generate a circularly polarized electromagnetic field in the charging space. In the process a coil arrangement generates a circularly polarized HF field. A good resonant coupling, even with a tilted hearing instrument, is possible, in other words with an undetermined and unpredictable orientation and position of the receive coil of the hearing instrument. | 08-28-2014 |
