An improved pulsatile system for a cochlear prosthesis is disclosed. The system employs a multi-spectral peak coding strategy to extract a number, for example five, of spectral peaks from an incoming acoustic signal received by a microphone. It encodes this information into sequential pulses that are sent to selected electrodes of a cochlear implant. The first formant (F1) spectral peak (280-1000 ...

A planet gear frame assembly is so configured as to use common parts, whereby another assembly, having a different gear ratio, can be formed using the selfsame common parts. This is achieved by providing the assembly with a frame (12) and at least one pin (28) upon which the planet gear (14) is journalled, a washer (38) being engaged with the frame to retain the pin in place and axially-extending ...
