摘要： Audio streaming is made available throughout the signal processing path of the speech processor of a cochlear implant or other audio signal processor. Audio streaming comprises the digitally phase locked playback of a real time n-bit digital audio stream, where n may be a large number, e.g., 8, 12, 16, 24 or 32, that emanates (unsolicited) from an operating speech processor. A number of sample points are made available long the processing chain of a digital signal processor (DSP) used within the speech processor of the cochlear implant. Audio streaming may occur at any sample point. The signal at a selected sample point may be selectively monitored in order to allow appropriate diagnostics to be performed. Audio streaming utilizes an auto-referencing mixed-mode phase locked loop. Such phase locked loop processes an asynchronous stream of digital audio samples that arrive at a designated location, e.g., a selected sample point, at a consistent, but unknown, average rate. Once the stream of asynchronous audio samples are received, the average sample rate is extracted, and a local clock is generated at the average frequency. The incoming audio streaming samples are then re-synchronized with the local clock, in order to allow digitally phase locked playback of the audio stream.
摘要翻译：在耳蜗植入物或其他音频信号处理器的语音处理器的整个信号处理路径中，音频流可用。音频流包括实时n位数字音频流的数字相位锁定重放，其中n可以是从操作语音处理器发出（非请求）的大数量，例如8,12,16,24或32。在耳蜗植入物的语音处理器中使用的数字信号处理器（DSP）的处理链之前，多个采样点可用。音频流可能发生在任何采样点。可以选择性地监视所选择的采样点处的信号，以便执行适当的诊断。音频流使用自动参考混合模式锁相环。这种锁相环处理以一致但未知的平均速率到达指定位置（例如，选定的采样点）的数字音频采样的异步流。一旦接收到异步音频采样流，则提取平均采样率，并以平均频率产生本地时钟。接收的音频流采样然后与本地时钟重新同步，以便允许数字相位锁定回放音频流。

摘要： A detection circuit for sensing signals in an implantable cochlear stimulator is provided. The detection circuit has a primary coil winding which is part of the detected circuit. The primary coil is placed adjacent to and coupled electromagnetically to a secondary coil winding which is connected to an isolated circuit. The isolated circuit has circuit means for processing the induced current in the isolated current. Because a transformer is employed, the detection circuit draws only minimal power from the detected circuit, and the sensed output voltage can be flexibly scaled.

摘要： Methods of selecting a number of channels out of a multiplicity of channels of an implantable neural stimulation system for stimulation during a stimulation frame include obtaining a threshold corresponding to the stimulation frame, using the threshold to determine an adjusted amplitude corresponding to one or more channels within the multiplicity of channels, using the adjusted amplitudes to determine a probability for each of the one or more channels within the multiplicity of channels, providing a random number for each of the one or more channels within the multiplicity of channels, and selecting a number of channels within the one or more channels for stimulation during the stimulation frame. Each of the selected number of channels has a probability that is greater than the random number.

摘要： An envelope based amplitude mapping achieves the signal compression required to provide a natural sound level without the high processor loading or waveform alteration. In one embodiment, the output of a family of parallel bandpass filters is processed by an envelope detector, followed by decimation. The resulting reduced data rate envelope is log mapped to produce a scaling factor for the original high data rate bandpass filter output sequence. The resulting scaled signal determines the current level for stimulation of the cochlea for each frequency band, which stimulation achieves a log mapping of the sound amplitude effect similar to natural hearing, while reducing processor load, and preserving waveform shape.

摘要： In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a multi-channel stimulator having a common supply voltage, the stimulator having an electrical circuit with a dual-range compliance voltage supply such that each channel of the multi-channel stimulator is configured to be selectable among two compliance voltages. Channels which can operate at half or less than half compliance voltage can operate in the lower voltage range and thereby achieve energy savings. The stimulator can be switched between a high and low compliance voltage in a bipolar or a monopolar electrode configuration.
