Definitions

  • Fig. 2 is a functional block diagram of a remote-controlled programmable auditory prosthesis including datalogging function in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
  • the serial input/output control 116 resets the address counter 112 and moves 16 bits into the shift register 110, and begins clocking them out the serial line 111. This process continues until the contents of the whole memory 104 have been sent via the serial line 111.
