C08F11006
US Classification:
526351
Abstract:
A propylene polymeric composition with elastic character that is soluble in at least one nonpolar organic solvent selected from the group consisting of toluene, xylene, heptane, and hexane, comprises greater than 3 weight percent and up to 45 weight percent homotactic sequences each having only r or m diads, all of which homotactic sequences have a helical length in the range of 20 to 150 , and in the range of 55 to 97 weight percent of the sum of homotactic sequences of less than 20 in helical length, each homotactic sequence having only r or m diads and having fewer than 10 repeat units with mmmm pentads being present in the range of 0 to 35 weight percent of the total composition, and heterotactic sequences having r and m diads of unequal number, the polymer having a molecular weight (M ) of at least 70,000.

US Patent:
6622815, Sep 23, 2003
Filed:
Oct 16, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/982121
Inventors:
Vasant V. Kolpe - Mendota Heights MN
Martin P. Babcock - White Bear Lake MN
Robert J. Oliveira - Maplewood MN
Assignee:
Hearing Components, Inc. - Oakdale MN
International Classification:
H04R 2502
US Classification:
181130, 181135, 381324
Abstract:
A support pad for use in a hearing device of the type comprising a casing having an inner surface defining a cavity; and a sound receiving, amplification and transmitting system within the cavity in the casing, which system includes a transducer. The support pad includes a layer of conformable metal having first and second opposite major surfaces, and a layer of viscoelastic material along its first major surface. The support pad has an attachment portion with the layer of viscoelastic material along the attachment portion being adapted to be adhered to a side surface of the transducer, and has at least one tab portion adapted to project away from the transducer adjacent an end of the transducer. The tab portion is adapted to be shaped so that the second major surface along the tab portion is adjacent and conforms to the inner surface of the casing and can be adhered to the inner surface of the casing with the tab portion shaped and positioned so that the attachment portion of the support pad and the transducer are spaced from the inner surface of the casing.

US Patent:
7600604, Oct 13, 2009
Filed:
Feb 3, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/347600
Inventors:
Martin P. Babcock - White Bear Lake MN, US
Robert J. Oliveira - Maplewood MN, US
William Parish - Maplewood MN, US
Vasant V. Kolpe - Mendota Heights MN, US
Michael T. Venem - St. Paul MN, US
Assignee:
Hearing Components, Inc. - Oakdale MN
International Classification:
H04R 25/02
A61B 7/02
A61F 11/00
US Classification:
181130, 181135, 128864
Abstract:
A user-disposable member for placement and retention within the auditory anatomy, such as an ear canal. The user-disposable member includes a polymeric foam material, wherein the user-disposable member has a first portion having a peripheral outer surface having a first coefficient of friction, and a second portion having a peripheral outer surface having a second coefficient of friction different from the first coefficient of friction.

Hearing Aid Ear Piece Having Disposable Compressible Polymeric Foam Sleeve

View page
US Patent:
48800767, Nov 14, 1989
Filed:
Dec 5, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/938540
Inventors:
Carl S. Ahlberg - Minneapolis MN
Davis W. Chamberlin - St. Paul MN
Jerold W. Bushong - St. Paul MN
Robert J. Oliveira - Maplewood MN
Vasant V. Kolpe - Mendota Heights MN
Assignee:
Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61B 702
H04R 2502
US Classification:
181130
Abstract:
Detachably secured to the ear piece of a hearing aid is a user-disposable sleeve comprising soft polymeric retarded recovery foam that can be compressed to be freely insertable into a person's ear canal and then allowed to recover to become wedged in the canal. The sleeve preferably includes a flexible, elongated plastic duct over which the foam fits, and the duct is formed with a screw thread of a rigid plastic which mates with a screw thread on the ear piece for easy attachment and removal. The external surface of the foam preferably is substantially cylindrical and can be formed with flutes to provide venting of the user's ear.
