WIDEX A/S

Integration of advanced functionalities into headphones, earphones, or hearing aids, such as multi-device connectivity, health monitoring sensors, custom fitting mechanisms, and intelligent audio switching or control.

Medical devices and methods for treating hearing loss or tinnitus, primarily through electrical stimulation via implanted electrodes in the cochlear region, including fitting and neural response modeling.

Application of neural networks and AI/ML models within hearing devices or audio systems to enhance, filter, or process audio signals for improved user experience, such as speech understanding or noise reduction.

Techniques for enhancing, encoding, decoding, or separating speech and audio signals, often involving multi-microphone arrays, acoustic echo cancellation, beamforming, or advanced audio compression for improved clarity and quality.

Processes and apparatus for disassembling spent batteries and recovering valuable materials (e.g., metals, electrolytes, plastics) through mechanical, chemical, or electrochemical methods for reuse or sustainable disposal.

Design and manufacturing techniques for incorporating antenna structures directly into electronic devices, product housings, or materials, often under constraints of space, aesthetics, or environmental factors.

Development of devices and methods for non-invasive or minimally invasive collection and analysis of physiological data, often from wearable sensors, to monitor health, activity, or specific conditions.

Design and manufacturing techniques for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) microphones, focusing on physical components like diaphragms, movable masses, and housing for improved performance, heat management, or fluid interaction.

Systems and methods for electronically steering or shaping antenna beams by controlling the phase and amplitude of signals fed to individual elements in an array, including calibration techniques and multi-antenna configurations.
