The public's response to the drug lobby's attack showed that the offense overwhelmed the defense where it counted politically. The popular attitude toward Tugwell, Ernest K. Lindley noted, was marked by near phobia and hysteria. Strong men, presumably in their right minds, saw a sinister threat to the American system if Tugwell merely called for increased security and improvement of the general welfare.1 Manifestations of an amazing furor over Tugwell appeared throughout the nation. Patriotic societies, village chambers of commerce, and public men of high and low degree expressed their opposition to Tugwell and the food and drug bill.2 An anti-Tugwell club was formed in Chicago; the Wichita Beacon warned parents not to let children see his books; the members of a church in Oregon petitioned the President to dismiss Tugwell because of the way he had spoken about American wines.3 Foreign studies were generally calmer than most American appraisals of Tugwell,4 but undoubtedly a distorted picture of him reached other nations. When introduced to him at a social gathering, Takami Miura, a Japanese opera star, said, "Not the man who knows everything in the world?"5
The politicians, of course, were quite sensitive to public opinion. Congress dawdled with the food and drug bill for five years. Representative Thomas L. Blanton ( Dem., Tex.) made a typical comment when he protested to the House that the food and drug bill would close every country drugstore in the United States.6 The Democratic leaders decided to keep Tugwell under wraps during the campaign of 1936, much to his chagrin. In the fall of 1936 Farley told Roosevelt that Tugwell and Hopkins should not be used in the campaign. "I agree thoroughly," Roosevelt replied. "I'm going to take steps to eliminate criticism in the future."7 Tugwell made no speeches, and he was not a member of the speech-writing staff, which included Corcoran and Cohen, Stanley High, Charles Michelson, and Samuel Rosenman.8 But his silence did not halt the shooting in his direction.
Farley's and Roosevelt's political decisions did not affect their personal attitudes toward Tugwell. Farley, Tugwell recalled, "was pleasant to me, but he was firm to others about my being a detriment. No one ever spoke to me directly, but I knew how I stood."9 In 1938 Farley wrote: "In view of the real situation, I think the abuse heaped on him

correlation between pregnancy/miscarriage and thyroid issues/nodules?
I'm so sorry for your loss. :(
I'd also recommend that you find a doc who really "gets" thyroids and understands thyroid treatment. I'm also curious about the FT3.
Are they talking a partial or total thyroidectomy?
-Amie, mom to my beautiful Jadon (1/05), my Chinese charmer Eli (5/06,) and my Congolese cuties Micah (3/07) and Asher (8/10)
I also agree on looking around for a good thyroid doctor.
I'm also wondering if they're talking a partial thyroidectomy?
Thyroid nerd (Graves, thyroidectomy, incidental thyroid cancer). Anencephaly @18w June '10, RPL, MTHFR.
Thank you ladies...the miscarriage was very emotionally & physically painful. Was hoping to start TTC again soon but looks like that'll have to wait :\
They want to do a partial thyroidectomy. My regular doc ordered those tests and then referred me to the endo for the ultrasound & FNA. To be honest I didn't tell her about all my syptoms, we were both more concered about the nodule. I'm have kaiser and the doctors there can be really hit & miss...I'm not really sure how to doctor shop with kaiser lol. She said after the surgery she would be in contact with me and monitor stuff. Should I request free T3 or does it really matter at this point? I've read about shrinking nodules with iodine BUT the not knowing if cancer is there or not bugs me! My TSH has always been in that range but this is first time T's were tested.
I'v also been ready about testing for antibodies but not sure if that applies in my case...so much to learn! Thyroid issues are so new to me.
Many people find they're been told their TSH is "in range" only to find their free T's were not. I'd still get the antibodies test, to get the full picture.
Thyroid nerd (Graves, thyroidectomy, incidental thyroid cancer). Anencephaly @18w June '10, RPL, MTHFR.
I agree. I haven't heard many good things about Kaiser ... hit or miss seems to be a positive assessment. :)
I'm also concerned about your post-thyroidectomy care.
-Amie, mom to my beautiful Jadon (1/05), my Chinese charmer Eli (5/06,) and my Congolese cuties Micah (3/07) and Asher (8/10)
Oh man, I'll admit that I'm Canadian, know zero aabout US health care.... and I have even heard of how bad Kaiser is. :(
Thyroid nerd (Graves, thyroidectomy, incidental thyroid cancer). Anencephaly @18w June '10, RPL, MTHFR.
Well apparently kaiser doesn't test for free T3. I found a place where I can test for it myself though. My husband is looking into switching to a PPO.
I'm thinking of getting a second opinion as I found 3 doctors in my area
(Sacramento) on a recommended doctor list from the natural thyroid hormones yahoo group. Even if I have to pay out of pocket I think it would be worth it...I mean taking out half your thyroid to me is a big decision especially when it's not confirmed as cancer. All my friends/family just keep telling me to just get it taken out...but they also have no clue what the thyroid even does!
I WAS learning toward surgery cause of the size and I hate the unknown about cancer...the fact is grew so fast scares me too. But then I go and read about potentially shrinking nodules with iodine so now I'm looking into that option. I have like 20 broswer windows open on my computer, it's ridiculous. I'm just so over whelmed by all the information on the internet that I just don't know what to do lol. I'm wondering what the harm would be to wait six months and see if I can get it to shrink with natural stuff...? What are the chances of me needing "meds" with just half a thyroid? Having NO thyroid and then going through RAI scares the crap out of me...ugh.

The invention concerns an adjustable armrest for chairs, especially suitable to be applied to office chairs.
As it is known, armrests for chairs are formed by an armrest element that is supported by an upright element connected to the seat through appropriate fixing means.
Some types of chairs are provided with armrests that are adjustable in height in order to adapt the rest position of the arm according to the user's needs.
The chairs must have a size and a shape in keeping with specific national and/or international sets of rules.
There are for example specific sets of rules concerning the distance of the front end of the armrest element as regards the front end of the seat.
In particular the regulation ANSI BIFMA prescribes that such distance must not be shorter than 100 mm.
Besides the set of rules NEN, in force in Holland, establishes instead for such distance a minimum value of 200 mm.
The necessity of respecting these different sets of rules compels the builders to realize the same chair model with the armrests placed at different distances.
In order to obtain these conditions, it is necessary to provide on the seat, or anyway in the hooking points of the armrest fixing means, for differentiated perforations, so that the same chair model can receive the same armrest model however fixed in different positions.
The aim the present invention is to obviate to the said drawback.
In particular an aim of the invention is that of realizing an armrest allowing the chairs equipped with it, to be in keeping with the sets of rules, in force in the different countries, as for the distance of the front end of the armrest element as regards the front end of the seat.
The said aim is attained through the realization of a seat for a chair that according to the main claim, includes an upright element substantially vertical provided in the lower part with fixing means to a seat of said chair and supporting in the higher part an armrest element, and wherein said upright element and said armrest element are coupled through sliding means suitable to allow the movement of said armrest element in order to vary the distance of the front end of said armrest element as regards the front end of said seat.
According to a preferred embodiment, said sliding means are formed by an annular edge bordering said higher part of said upright element, which is housed slidingly in a guide track obtained inside said armrest element.
Suitable locking means allow to fix the armrest element in the reached position.
Advantageously the invention allows to standardize the production without providing for differentiated perforations of the seat in order to fix the armrest at different distances as regards the front end of the seat. In such a way the same chair with the same armrests is in conformity with the different sets of rules in force in different countries.
Still advantageously the possibility of regulating the position of the armrest can be useful to insert partially the seat under the desk, when its height is lower than the armrest one.
The said aims and advantages will be better underlined during the description of a preferred embodiment of the invention shown approximately but not restrictively referring to the enclosed drawings where:
FIG. 1 shows the armrest of the invention in a perspective view;
FIG. 2 shows the armrest of FIG. 1 in an exploded perspective view;
FIG. 3 shows the armrest of FIG. 1 in a partially sectioned perspective view;
FIG. 4 shows the armrest of FIG. 1 in a cross section;
FIG. 5 shows the armrest of FIG. 1 in a longitudinal section;
FIG. 5A shows alternative embodiment of the arrangement illustrated in FIG. 5.
FIGS. 6 and 7 show the armrest of the invention applied to a chair in two different positions.
As it can be observed in FIG. 1 and also in FIGS. 6 and 7, the armrest, object of the invention and marked with 1 as a whole, includes an upright element 2 substantially vertical provided in the lower part 2 a with a bracket 3 for fixing a chair S to the seat L and in the higher part 2 b of an armrest element 4.
According to the invention, the upright element 2 and the armrest element 4 are coupled through sliding means 5 that are suitable to allow the movement of said armrest element 4 in order to vary the distance of the front end 4 a of said armrest element 4 as regards the front end A of said seat L.
According to the preferred embodiment shown and described, later on, the sliding means 5 are formed, as it is underlined also in FIGS. 2 and 3, by an annular edge 6 bordering the higher part 2 b of said upright element 2, which is slidingly housed in a guide track 7, particularly evident in FIG. 4, obtained inside the armrest element 4.
Such guide track 7 is defined between a couple of overhanging longitudinal ribs 8 present inside said armrest element 4 and an annular flange 9 removably coupled to the armrest element 4. Such annular flange 9 is opposed to the longitudinal ribs 8 and is placed through a beat below said annular edge 6 and therefore is fixed to the armrest element 4 through fixing means that can be, for example, screws 9 a. Suitable locking means, marked with 10 as a whole in FIG. 2, make the armrest element 4 stable in different adjustment positions.
Such locking means 10, as it can be observed also in FIG. 5, include a lever 11 that is inserted between the longitudinal ribs 8, developing longitudinally to the armrest element 4 and provided at its end with a fulcrum pin 12 and at the opposite end with a move push button 13, projecting and accessible for the operator.
The lever 11 also has a plurality of hollows or slots 14 placed on its length, each one being suitable to house a tooth 15 belonging to the annular edge 6 of said upright element 2.
As an alternative, a plurality of teeth 14′ can be placed along the lever 11, while a slot 15″ suitable to cooperate with them, can be formed on the annular edge 6 of the upright element 2.
Between the lever 11 and the armrest element 4 there are elastic means that preferably are formed by an helical spring 16 with a cylindrical section, connected to the move push button 13.
It is evident that the elastic and locking means could be different from the ones that have been shown.
Operationally, when the armrest element 4 is rest position, it made to be fixed by the locking means 10, since the tooth 15 of the annular edge 6 of the upright element 2, is housed in one of the hollows 14 of the lever 11.
In order to shift it, it is necessary to press the push button 13, so as to rotate the lever 11 around the fulcrum 12 and lift it until the tooth 15 is unhooked from the respective hollow.
After having placed through a sliding the armrest element 4 in the new wanted position, in order to lock it is sufficient to release the push 13 and automatically the lever 11, pushed by the elastic element 16, hooks the tooth 15 in the nearest hollow 14.
Different operational positions of the armrest of the invention assembled on a chair S are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
In particular, in FIG. 6 it can be observed that the armrest element 4 is placed with the end 4 a in a totally advanced position, while in FIG. 7 it can be observed that the armrest element 4 is placed with the end 4 a in a totally rear position, corresponding to the shortest distance d and longest distance D as regards the front end A of the seat L.
For example, between the shortest distance d and the longest distance D, the shortest distance of 100 mm provided for by the regulation ANSI BIFMA and the shortest distance of 200 mm provided for by the set of rules NEN can be included.
The possibility of moving the armrest element 4 allows, besides respecting the distances forced by the different sets of rules, inserting the chair under the desk too, avoiding the interference of the armrest element with the desk.
The armrest of the invention can advantageously be provided with further devices, as for example devices suitable to adjust the height of the armrest element as regards the seat plane.
As for the materials, the armrest can be built with any type of material according to the particular use it is intended for.
According to what has been described it can be understood that the adjustable armrest, object of the invention, attains the prearranged aim.
It is intended that the executive variants that have not been shown and described and that could be brought to the armrest of the invention, since they are based on the same claimed resolving idea, are to be considered all protected by the present patent.

I ventured into unchartered waters on Saturday. I contacted a local bike riding club and joined them on a ride.
I chose the ride because it was in area I hadn't ridden and i was interested in exploring and the distance/pace seemed managable.
It stared off a bit rocky. I had called the rider leader on Friday and was told the start time was 9 am. When I arrived at the meet location there was no one there. I called the rider leader who informed the ride had started at 8 am. I was given a location to meet the group and I rode out and met them. The ride was to circle two different lakes. I missed the flatter smaller lake, but did the hilly longer route around the lake.
The temp was around 78 degrees with only a slight wind. The group was small (5), but experienced. One couple talked about riding 30 years ago out in the area I live. I am guessing their age to be in the upper 60's if not in the 70s. The male half of this couple was the stongest rider leading everyone up the hills. What was fun is he would call out the incline every so often, were at 6%, now were at 11%. I found it interesting to hear the grade while we were still on the road to have something to reference to some of the other hills I've climbed.
I only did 16-17 miles of the original 30 I had hoped to due because of missing the first part of the ride. Overall I had an enjoyable time. I rode faster than my normal pace, meet some new cyclists, and saw some pretty scenery. There was some disagreement as whether we went up 5 or 7 hilss. I didn't count or care, we either was going up or down most of the time.
Here is a photo of the lake we rode around. Those hills in the background gives you an idea of what we riding up and down.

When there are multiple providers, and we prefer one provider (say the gnome/gtk provider rather than the KDE version) it's in our best interest to explicitly list the gnome/gtk provider in our package set so that yum will find a provider already in the transaction set and not seek out another. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,968 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
A small gathering congregated in São Paulo this weekend, ahead of the first International Conference on Crowdsourcing, being hosted tomorrow at the offices of one of Brazil's largest telcos, Vivo. Having not long returned from Europe, presenting at CrowdConvention in Berlin in June, Europe's first ever Crowdsourcing event [link], the privilege once more be part of a small quorum of crowdsourcing evangelists sharing their insights and experience to another group of inquisitive on-lookers and practitioners alike, this time south of the equator, is one that is not overlooked.
Under the enthusiastic and tenacious leadership of Marina Miranda, Managing Director of mutopo, Latin America the event is sure to be a success. Based out of mutopo's São Paulo Office, Miranda has secured contributions from enterprise sponsors Telefônica, vivo, Microsoft BizSpark, Tecnisa and Boa Vista and raised ticket sales of ~300, great for a first event in a new market. Miranda has also been able to secure a notable cast of speakers representing both local companies and the international market.
mutopo's core business is social production with a mission to help organizations think through crowdsourcing applications and to support the implementation of initiatives often involving the introduction of other crowdsourcing tool providers to help
Brazil, having experienced a huge uptake over the last twelve months both in the use of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding and in terms of the number of new platforms launched, was ready and primed for its first event. The last twelve months have seen an increased adoption of crowdsourcing as a model to support open innovation, as a model for the production of creative works and for solutions requiring the crowd to collect and organize information.

Christ declared that to enter into the kingdom of heaven one must be born again "of water and the Holy Spirit." John 3:5. Baptism is a re-birth, the giving of a new life. By Baptism we are made sharers in the life of God, "partakers of the divine nature." 2 Peter 1:4. In Baptism we also die to sin and rise up to a new life. "What the cross and burial were to Christ, Baptism has been to us. He Himself died and was buried in the flesh, but we have died and been buried to sin. If you have shared in death and burial, much more will you share in the Resurrection and the Life." Saint John Chrysostom. St. Paul the Apostle tell us: "If we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. … So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies…" Roman 6:8, 11-12.
YEAR OF FAITH Christ is risen…and…He granted life! Christ has redeemed us from the clutches of sin and Hades, and has made it possible for mankind to share in the unending life of the Holy Trinity our God. "He surrendered Himself as a ransom to Death by which we were held captive, …Descending by the cross into Hades… He freed us from Death's despair, and rose on the third day, preparing the way for the resurrection of all flesh from the dead." (Anaphora of St. Basil). Christ died for our sins, but rose so that we might share in the life of God. We participate in the resurrection and in the divine life by receiving the Holy Spirit who is Creator and Giver of Life. The gift of divine life is given to us within the life of the Church, especially by means of the holy sacramental Mysteries (i.e., Sacraments).
Fr. Anthony Hernandez, Eparchy of Phoenix, Office of Religious Education.

"Kirkus' review of The Mill River Recluse played an important role in encouraging readers to take a chance on a first novel by an unknown author."
— Darcie Chan, independent author of The Mill River Recluse, which sold more than 500,000 copies
Since Kirkus Indie reviewers have critiqued thousands of memoirs, novels, mysteries, thrillers, etc., we thought we'd call on them occasionally to share insight and advice from the front lines of self-publishing. In this issue, several veteran reviewers note the recurring errors they spot on their sojourns through Indieland.
Ivan Kenneally, who also writes for the Los Angeles Review of Books and Open Letters Monthly, bemoans the rampant misuse of the semicolon, which is "apparently a great grammatical mystery," he ...
Within Indie publishing, voices or stories that might otherwise be ignored get their opportunity to be heard. We often see titles that explore some corner of social-justice or civil rights issues, adding detail and diversity to the historic record.
In Destiny's Child: Memoirs of a Preacher's Daughter, Taylor Gibbs gives a firsthand account of her family's work with Eleanor Roosevelt, Thurgood Marshall, a young Martin Luther King Jr., Bishop Desmond Tutu, the Clintons and the Obamas. And it's not just hagiography ...
This month, we talk to Allison Hill, the president and CEO of Vroman's Bookstore, Southern California's oldest and largest independent bookstore and Publishers Weekly's "Bookseller of the Year" for 2008, as well as Book Soup, the legendary "Bookseller to the Great & Infamous," located in the heart of the world-famous Sunset Strip.

Remember, if you take your nose out of your book and your thumb off your Kindle, you can go out in the world and meet authors, not just read them.

Sometimes, though, while we're reviewing hundreds of books a month and interacting with authors primarily through email and phone, we lose sight of the fact that these are people; men and women are behind the words and ...
Sarah Bagby owns Watermark Books & Café in Wichita, Kansas. Founded in 1977, the bookstore brings people together over books and eats via their dozen-plus book clubs—from Vampires Anonymous to the Classic Book Club—and their monthly Literary Feast, a discussion held over dinner and dessert, led by Bagby and Jedd Beaudoin, host of the local public radio station. Bagby was a nonfiction judge of the inaugural 2014 Kirkus Prize.

Kirkus started its self-pubbed section in 2005 (it was then called Kirkus Discoveries and is now Kirkus Indie). Since then, Indie reviewers have critiqued thousands of memoirs, novels, mysteries, thrillers, etc., and have good insight and advice to share from the front lines of self-publishing. In this issue, several veteran reviewers note a few changes they've seen—better editing, more literary work and increasing diversity.
Steve Donoghue, who also writes for the Wall Street Journal and the Boston Globe, appreciates "the ...
Don't judge a book by its cover. Well, here we are. Like it or not, a cover can say a lot about a book—about its content, its character and, in some cases, its quality. More and more indie authors understand the value of a great cover—particularly in the all-important thumbnail size. Here are a few that stuck out to us this year. —Ryan Leahey

One of the benefits of the boom in self-publishing is that excellent, narrowly focused books with potentially limited markets don't have to languish in a publisher's slush pile. Carin Siegfried, a veteran of traditional publishing, knew that her book, The Insider's Guide to a Career in Book Publishing, which got a Kirkus Star, had "a small and very specific market, and…figured it was probably too small for a major publisher," she says, so she opted to publish it herself ...

TORONTO/OTTAWA, March 21, 2013—In an effort to balance the books by 2015, today's federal budget focused mostly on jobs, the economy and closing "tax loopholes".
"The theme for today's budget was jobs, growth and long-term prosperity," says Elio Luongo, Canadian Managing Partner, Tax with KPMG in Canada. "The focus on jobs and growth is a continuation of a theme to try and manage current issues including bridging the skills gap in Canada while balancing the budget by 2015. The government has introduced a number of measures to help finance this with a focus on tax integrity and closing 'tax loopholes'. Areas as diverse as tax loss trading, life insurance products, the mining industry and labour sponsored venture incentives were touched."

are nearly complete for President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration on
January 20, 2009. The event's theme, "A New Birth of Freedom,"
commemorates the birth of Abraham Lincoln, born 200 years ago on
February 12.
Inauguration details reflect the tribute to Lincoln. Obama
will take the presidential oath on the same Bible that Lincoln did
during his inauguration. Afterward, the Obamas, Joe Biden and his
family, and others will enjoy a Lincoln-era Luncheon.
Obama's ties to Lincoln can be traced at least as far back as
when he announced he was running for president in Springfield,
Illinois. The announcement came at the steps of the Old Capitol, where
Lincoln was a legislator. During the campaign, some of Obama's speeches
clearly drew inspiration from Lincoln's thoughts and words. Ten days
before Inauguration Day, Obama and his family toured the Lincoln
Memorial. Perhaps Obama took a brief moment during his visit to
reflect, drawing strength and courage for his challenging days ahead as
There is no doubt that Lincoln is a sound choice for comfort
and reflection. After all, when Lincoln took his presidential oath, the
Union was on the verge of splitting apart. Lincoln's biggest tasks were
to mend the divisions, merge the states together peaceably, and move
the nation forward as one. Although Obama does not face Civil War
conditions, he, too, must lead the country forward and out of its own
troubling times.
In this lesson, you will take some time to reflect on Lincoln
and Obama, their eras, and their challenging tasks. You will learn
about the Civil War, especially focusing on images of the time period.
Then, since you live in Obama's era, you will decide what issue is most
challenging for Obama. Using today's images, news headlines, and
statistics, you will get to develop a presentation to tell that story
and share with others.
your journey through the 1860s using the Civil War Explorer. As you browse through
the exhibit's modules, read the text, but also carefully review the
Videos, News & Documents, Photos, Maps & Charts, Statistics,
Music, Eyewitness accounts, and other supporting illustrations wherever
you see them provided. Click any underlined terms or names to
immediately learn more about them. Click your browser's Back button to
return to the page you left and continue. If you decide to skip any
areas, you will ultimately come across them by the end of the tour.
Get an overview through the Timeline. Start your in-depth tour with The Big Picture. Read the introduction, and
then dig into one of the most divisive issues of this era: Slavery. Read the overview, and then review
the News & Documents, Photos, and hear from Eyewitnesses.
Next, examine the Trigger Events. Here, you will discover how
abolitionist John Brown attempted to liberate slaves in Harpers Ferry,
Virginia. Growing differences between states in the North vs. South may also have contributed
to the sense of division. Putting States Rights above Union preservation drew
a clear line between the sides. Write a paragraph that summarizes what
you learned about The Big Picture, citing at least three specific
primary sources or other illustrations you reviewed in the module.
In the Warfare module, you will learn about the
major Conflicts that shaped the war's unfolding,
from Antietam to Gettysburg, Prairie Grove, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Vicksburg, Corinth,
and Petersburg. (Chancellorsville is
incomplete.) Summarize the nature of these conflicts, referring to some
of the details from at least one of the major conflicts.
Similarly, examine and analyze the Navy and Small Arms sections, writing a combined
summary. Also, review the Who Fought, Prisons, and Regiments sections. What do the supporting
materials reveal about who fought in this war and what they experienced?
Compare and contrast a few of the key Historic Figures representing the North and the South. Choose one figure, and write a brief
paragraph that describes how the person's decisions or actions reflect
his background or general character.
Lastly, get a taste of The 1860s through its music, pastimes,
education, and a sample day in the life. Pick one detail from each
category to create two "Then and Now" statements based on your own
experiences. One statement should highlight a difference, and the
second statement should note a similarity.

The present application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/823,880, filed Apr. 14, 2004, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/469,082, filed May 8, 2003, which applications are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.
The present invention relates to hearing aid and cochlear implant systems and more particularly, to auxiliary devices and components for hearing aid and cochlear implant systems.
Most people do not like heavy objects hanging from their ears. On occasion some people dangle heavy earrings from their ears. But, in general, most people do not like to carry heavy objects, day after day, from their ears. It is uncomfortable. It is unpleasant. And sometimes, it is unattractive.
Individuals who use technology to assist their hearing are often required to place at least part of that technology behind their ears inside behind-the-ear (BTE) cochlear implant or hearing aid systems and units, earhooks, or other external component units. The term "external" means not fully implanted within the body of a patient. These BTE units must remain small, light weight, and attractive in order to please the individuals wearing them. The shell of a BTE unit provides slightly more room for electronics than a thimble has room to be filled with water. Yet, a tremendous amount of complex technology needs to be packed into the limited physical space of a BTE unit shell. Limited space limits technology. And when technology is limited, individuals are not able to hear as much or as well as they would like to be able to hear.
Others have tried to solve this dilemma by building sizable add-on modules to the BTE unit. This improves the technology of the BTE unit, but adds to the weight problem and may cause discomfort to the user's ear. Further, add-ons require users to remove their BTE unit to put a unique connector on the BTE unit, then to plug this connector into the assistive technology. The assistive technology, then is placed on the head or body of the user, often detracting from the aesthetic appearance of the user.
A solution is needed for BTE units that neither compromises space nor technology, weight nor function. The more technology a BTE unit holds, the more uncomfortable, unpleasant, and unattractive BTE users may feel. Yet, the less technology a BTE unit holds, the less a BTE user will be able to hear. An assistive hearing unit is needed that adds the functionality of technology to a BTE unit without making the BTE unit heavier or larger. Further, this assistive hearing unit should not require the user to remove a BTE unit, nor should it detract from the user's appearance. The crisp, clear sounds that come from using assistive hearing devices should not be upstaged by undesirable side effects of those devices.
The present invention solves the above and other needs and eliminates, or at least minimizes, the undesirable side effects that accompany heavy and large Behind-the-Ear (BTE) or other units. At the same time, the present invention provides a means to increase the amount of technology used with a BTE unit. Further, the present invention does not require the user to take the BTE unit from behind the ear. In short, the present invention permits an individual to wear a lightweight, small, aesthetic BTE unit that incorporates an increased amount of assistive hearing technologies without having to remove that unit.
The present invention satisfies the above and other needs by providing an assistive listening device cap (ALD Cap) that is placed on top of a cochlear implant headpiece. Cochlear implant headpieces attach to the head, not the ear. The ALD Cap adheres to the headpiece through magnetic attraction or other means of fixation. The ALD Cap includes components that supplement or replace the components in the BTE unit. The ALD Cap communicates with the BTE unit, preferably through a BTE earhook that is attached to the BTE unit, either through wired or wireless communications.
Alternately, the ALD Cap of the present invention may attach to head-mounted technology, such as head-mounted transmitters or microphones used in conjunction with implantable hearing aids, cochlear implant processors, or other implantable hearing devices that do not use BTE units. For hearing aids and cochlear implant processors that are head-mounted and do not use BTE components, the ALD Cap provides access to assistive listening technology without the need for introducing components worn on or in the ear.
The above and other aspects of the present invention will be more apparent from the following more particular description thereof, presented in conjunction with the following drawings wherein:
Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding components throughout the several views of the drawings.
The following description is of the best mode presently contemplated for carrying out the invention. This description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of describing the general principles of the invention. The scope of the invention should be determined with reference to the claims.
The present invention adds functionality to cochlear implant and/or implantable hearing aid devices and systems without adding substantial weight or size to these associated devices or systems to their associated, head-mounted, external components. The present invention accomplishes this by providing an Assistive Listening Device (ALD) Cap that is placed on top of a headpiece that is associated with a Behind-the-Ear (BTE) unit. Alternately, the ALD Cap is place on top of the head-mounted external components associated with a cochlear implant or hearing aid system that does not use a BTE unit. The ALD Cap communicates with the BTE unit or other external components directly or through an auxiliary attachment, e.g., an earhook, attached to the BTE unit. The ALD Cap contains electronics that supplement or replace the functionality of the BTE unit or head-mounted external components.
As shown in
As shown in
Earhook 330 is attached to a BTE unit 340. BTE unit 340, as well as any other BTE unit of the present invention, may be a Behind-the-Ear unit of cochlear implant systems, implantable hearing aid systems, and any other hearing systems.
As shown in
Further alternate embodiments of receiver electronics 520 and transmission electronics 530 permit both to communicate using optical, infra-red, magnetic or other data transmission signals. Other embodiments of the present invention permit transmission electronics 530 to send data signals to a receiver inside the body of earhook 330, outside the body of earhook 330, inside the body of BTE unit 340, or outside the body of BTE unit 340. Battery 510 is removable from underneath ALD Cap 300. A magnet with increased magnetic strength may need to be placed inside headpiece 310 to permit ALD Cap 300 to adequately adhere to headpiece 310.
ALD Cap 300 is neither attached to BTE unit 340 nor earhook 330. Rather, ALD Cap 300 communicates with BTE unit 340 and/or earhook 330 through wireless communications. As a result, ALD Cap 300 is capable of adding to or replacing the functionality of BTE unit 340 and/or earhook 330 and/or other hearing system components without adding to the weight or size of BTE unit 340 and/or earhook 330. In this manner, a user's ear is not unduly burdened, and the user is able to use a maximally functional BTE unit without suffering the undesirable side effects of discomfort or displeasure. Further, because the ALD Cap of the present invention easily attaches to a headpiece without adding substantial structure, the user is able to employ the present invention in an aesthetically-pleasing manner without ever having to remove the BTE unit to use the ALD Cap.
As shown in
An ALD Cap of the present invention can include other components, such as indicator electronics and related display components that sense and indicate the functional status of electronics in the ALD Cap, a headpiece, an earhook, an external component unit, or a BTE unit. A "firefly" light, or LED indicator, is an example of an indicator; the firefly lights a bulb located on the ALD Cap whenever the firefly electronics sense that a cochlear speech processor or other functional unit is turned on and functioning properly.
Users of BTE units can wear the present invention by attaching an ALD Cap to the exterior of a headpiece and wearing either an earhook and/or BTE unit with a cable connection, an earhook and/or BTE unit with an RF or other communications receiver, or any other earhook and/or BTE unit. Users of head-mounted external component units can wear the present invention by attaching an ALD Cap to the exterior of an external component unit. To use the present invention, users simply turn the power on the ALD Cap and place it on top of their existing headpiece or other external component unit. The ALD Cap then receives RF or other signals and transmits them either to an earhook, a BTE unit, external head-mounted components, or other hearing system components via wire (including direct contact) or wireless signals.
Having an RF or other communications-based receiver in the earhook, body of the BTE unit, external component unit, or implanted components allows for a range of assistive listening technologies to be developed and integrated into ALD Caps. These caps can be interchangeable to meet different assisted listening device needs of users. The caps may reduce the weight and size of any BTE unit on a user's ear while providing maximum functionality to the user's listening device. In other applications or embodiments, the ALD Caps completely eliminate the need for a BTE unit by carrying components that otherwise would have been carried by a BTE unit. The simple connection of an ALD Cap to a headpiece or other external component unit and of a connection cable to an earhook and/or BTE unit does not require the user to remove the BTE device or external component unit in order to place the ALD Cap. Finally, the minimal addition of the ALD Cap to the headpiece or other external component unit remains aesthetically agreeable for users.
An embodiment of the present invention is shown in
The Bluetooth technology 790 of the phone adapter 750 may also communicate wireless signals 791 with corresponding Bluetooth technology 705 in the ALD Cap 700. The phone adapter 750 may include a multi-function, or "answer/end", button 760 that controls various functions of adapter 750 including initiating, answering, transferring, and ending telephone calls. The button 760 may also be used to turn the adapter 750 on and off and pair the adapter 750 to a particular phone 795 employing Bluetooth communications. A related Bluetooth headset not employing cochlear implant technology is described in the JABRA FreeSpeak™ BT200 Wireless Mobile Headset Users Manual, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and available from JABRA Corporation of 9171 Towne Centre Drive, Suite 500, San Diego, Calif. 92122.
The phone adapter 750 may also include a microphone 770 capable of receiving audio input from a user's voice which is transmitted through the Bluetooth technology 790 of the adapter 750 to the phone 795 and ultimately to an individual on the receiving end of the phone conversation. The phone adapter 750 may also include an LED indicator light 780 that shows the relative status of the adapter 750, i.e., whether it is in active communications with a call in progress, in standby mode waiting for a phone call, or turned off. The phone adapter 750 may include a primary cell or rechargeable battery or may run off of inductive power from an outside source or direct power from a battery located within the speech processor portion of the BTE unit 740.
While the invention herein disclosed has been described by means of specific embodiments and applications thereof, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention set forth in the claims.
