On Model-Based Analysis of Ear Biometrics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Ears are a new biometric with major advantage in that they appear to maintain their structure with increasing age. Most current approaches are holistic and describe the ear by its general properties. We propose a new model-based approach, capitalizing on

A Novel Ray Analogy for Enrolment of Ear Biometrics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The ear is a maturing biometric with qualities that give it superiority over other biometrics in a number of situations; in particular the ear is relatively immune to variation due to ageing.

Shaped Wavelets for Curvilinear Structures for Ear Biometrics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
One of the most recent trends in biometrics is recognition by ear ap-pearance in head profile images. Determining the region of interest which con-tains the ear is an important step in an ear biometric system. To this end, we propose a robust, simple and

Cytokine generation, promoter activation, and oxidant-independent NF-κB activation in a transfectable human neutrophilic cellular model

open access: yesBMC Immunology, 2008
Background Human neutrophils are key players of innate immunity, and influence inflammatory and immune reactions through the production of numerous cytokines and chemokines.

Ear drops for the removal of ear wax [PDF]

open access: yesCochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2003
Problems attributed to the accumulation of wax (cerumen) are among the most common reasons for people to present to their general practitioners with ear trouble. Treatment for this condition often involves use of a wax softening agent (cerumenolytic) to disperse the cerumen, reduce the need for, or facilitate syringing, but there is no consensus on the

Toward Unconstrained Ear Recognition From Two-Dimensional Images [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Ear recognition, as a biometric, has several advantages. In particular, ears can be measured remotely and are also relatively static in size and structure for each individual.

Interaction by ear

open access: yesInternational Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 2019
Abstract Speech-based interaction is now part of our everyday experiences, in the home and on the move. More subtle is the presence of designed non-speech sounds in human-machine interactions, and far less evident is their importance to create aural affordances and to support human actions. However, new application areas for interactive sound, beyond

A Continuously Worn Dual Temperature Sensor System for Accurate Monitoring of Core Body Temperature from the Ear Canal

open access: yesSensors, 2023
The objective of this work was to develop a temperature sensor system that accurately measures core body temperature from an ear-worn device. Two digital temperature sensors were embedded in a hearing aid shell along the thermal gradient of the ear canal

Diagnosis and management of somatosensory tinnitus: review article

open access: yesClinics, 2011
Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of an acoustic external stimulus. It affects 10-17% of the world's population and it a complex symptom with multiple causes, which is influenced by pathways other than the auditory one.
