Hearing aids are electronic devices that amplify sound to help people with hearing loss. There are two main types - analog hearing aids amplify all sounds equally while digital hearing aids analyze sound and amplify different frequencies individually for clearer sound. Digital hearing aids break sound into 48 or more frequency bands and amplify each band as needed. Hearing aids come in several styles including custom-fit models that go completely in the ear canal or invisible models. Behind-the-ear models have the components behind the ear connected to an earpiece. Receiver-in-canal models place the microphone in the outer ear connected by a tube to a receiver in the ear canal.

The current revolution in the music industry represents great opportunities and challenges for music recommendation systems. Recommendation systems are now central to music streaming platforms, which are rapidly increasing in listenership and becoming the top source of revenue for the music industry. It is increasingly more common for a music listener to simply access music than to purchase and own it in a personal collection. In this scenario, recommendation calls no longer for a one-shot recommendation for the purpose of a track or album purchase, but for a recommendation of a listening experience, comprising a very wide range of challenges, such as sequential recommendation, or conversational and contextual recommendations. Recommendation technologies now impact all actors in the rich and complex music industry ecosystem (listeners, labels, music makers and producers, concert halls, advertisers, etc.).
This document provides an overview of music recommendation research challenges in 2018. It discusses how the music industry is transitioning from a "discover and own" model to an "access" model with the rise of streaming services. It also discusses various data sources and algorithms used for music recommendation, including collaborative filtering, content-based approaches using audio features, and incorporating additional information like text, images, and user context. Finally, it outlines new challenges for music information retrieval research in further improving music discovery and recommendation.
CounterWatch - Investor Presentation The Product & OpportunityEMERGE PRODUCTS LLC
CounterWatch is a pet deterrent and training device that uses varying modes including spray, sound, and scent to deter pets from unwanted areas. It aims to solve common pet owner issues like cats on counters or escaping outside. The inventor presents the product and its advantages over competitors, which require expensive consumable refills or can shock pets. Market research shows the large pet owner population and market potential. Financial projections estimate the product could be very profitable through licensing to retailers or distributing to stores itself. Near-term funding is sought to further development and launch the product.
CounterWatch is a portable pet deterrent and training device that uses water or scented liquid to deter pets from unwanted areas. It has 5 modes including spray only, spray with voice, and voice only playback. The device is designed to be low profile, stylish, and effective at keeping pets off counters, furniture, and away from doors without the need for consumables or risk of electric shock. The inventor, Shawn Tait, believes CounterWatch is the best solution because it provides multiple deterrents that pets are unlikely to assimilate to, can be used on various surfaces, and avoids the high ongoing costs of consumable refills required by similar existing products.
The document describes several products designed by the author including an Automated Post Box Machine (APBM), a mobile casing called UMii that changes color and vibrates when paired with another device, a sellotape dispenser called Vettiko, a water level sensor called Dhara to reduce water wastage, a liquid medication packaging called Blistro, and surfboard roof rack pads called Aero Surf Pads.

The document provides information about designing a prosthetic arm for a classmate who recently lost part of her arm below the elbow. It outlines the design challenge which is to create a low-cost prosthetic device that allows her to perform daily tasks. The device must meet criteria such as costing less than $40 and weighing less than 3kg. It also describes the performance tasks the device will be evaluated on, including tossing balls into targets at various distances and placing objects in a container. Background research activities are suggested to inform the design such as patent searches, reverse engineering, and user interviews.
A little bit of history and an explanation of how analog devices work versus how digital devices work is essential to understand the distinctions between analog and digital hearing aids.
This document discusses a hearing aid app called Petralex. Some key points:
- Petralex is a hearing aid app that works on smartphones and provides hearing correction features like hearing tests and personalized profiles at a lower cost than traditional hearing aids.
- It aims to increase access to affordable hearing aids for the millions of people worldwide who need them by leveraging the ubiquity of smartphones.
- The document outlines Petralex's features, technology, business model, development team, marketing strategy, and financial projections, which estimate it could generate over $80 million in profit in the US market alone within 3 years.
The document discusses different types of hearing aid devices:
BTE (Behind-The-Ear) hearing aids are worn behind the ear with an earmold inside the outer ear. Mini-BTE, BTE, and BTE Power models vary in size and power. RIE (Receiver-In-Ear) devices have components split between a mini-housing behind the ear and an earpiece near the eardrum. MIE (Microphone-In-Ear) devices locate the microphone inside the ear canal shell for improved sound quality and feedback reduction. Digital hearing aids now incorporate advanced sound processing technologies to different degrees depending on a user's lifestyle and communication needs.
There are several types of hearing aids: Behind-the-Ear (BTE) models which fit into the ear canal, In-the-Ear (ITE) models which are built individually for each ear, In-the-Canal (ITC) models which are smaller and less visible, Completely-in-Canal (CIC) models which are the smallest and deepest fitting, and Open-Ear or Receiver-in-the-Ear (RITE) models which are modern, comfortable and invisible. Each type is suited to different levels of hearing loss and can be analog or digital.

Carrying out daily physical therapy at home is a discouraging activity and does not
involve correct exercise techniques.
The physical therapy market does not cater to the home setting.
Osteoarthritis affects the function or structure of the affected tissues in between joints
that increasingly deteriorate over time due to normal bodily wear or lifestyle choices.
Osteoarthritis affects nearly 27 million Americans. That total grows higher with age
and is predicted to increase in the Baby Boomer generation.

The pedal board slides into
the amp's cavity for storage
and transport. This allows
the user to carry all their
equipment in one trip.
Tracks are located on the
inside of the amp and pegs
are on the pedal board to
guide the board into place.
The wide, shallow knobs allow
for 1 finger to easily adjust
settings. The recessed handle
allows the amp to become a
comfortable seating surface.
The angled bottom allows to
user to tilt the amp back to
project the sound upward
towards the player.
24. The Setup
The guitar case creates an epicenter for equipment and
provides organization.
1. The case becomes a display/hanger to show off the guitar.
2. The amp lies in the spot next to the guitar.
3. The pedal board lies beside the case because it is moved
and used during play.
Rock Wirelessly
1. A guitar with a built-in bluetooth transmitter transmits sound
waves to the pedal board's reviever.
2. The pedal board recieves the transmittion and alters the
sound via the effects pedals. It then transmits the waves to
the amp's reciever.
3. The amp recieves the radio waves and amplifies the sound.

35. Concept Ideation
Concepts range from steam and heat features to aromatherapy pods.
I also Ideated the placement of the product in the bathroom and bathtub, taking into consideration
water and power sources. The chosen concept is a wall mounted appliance that has its own water
container and plugs into an outlet.

41. Whats the Problem?
A college apartment living room is small and can be cluttered with
other furniture. This includes a couch, chairs, lamps, coffee table, TV, and other
organizational furniture. My piece of furniture needs to optimize the space available
and potentially hold multiple uses.
small space
The users are young adults/college students ages 18-30. They work long nights with
lots of supplies including a laptop, books, papers, and food.
Need a comfortable place to work in their living room.
late nights
The amount of materials involved in late night working and studying in a non-school
setting makes for a cluttered and frustrating environment.
42. Concept Ideation
Concepts focus around ideas that utilize vertical space with a slim form, give
an option to bring the surface closer to your lap, and/or utilize space by adding
more shelving.
44. Concept Refinement The option to bring a surface closer to your lap would be most
effective for my user.
45. Final Design
a coffee table with 2 surface
levels.
The shelf features a hinge
system that allows for a smooth
and parallel lifting motion. This
provides the user a comfortable
work surface for late night
studying, that can also be quickly
stowed underneath the table
to keep supplies out of the way.

aluminum fastened together with rivets. Each section of legs slide over the wood surface and is then joined by 8 bolts.
The hinge system is made by Temax Hardware.
