摘要： A hearing aid includes an implantable microphone, signal-processing amplifier, battery, and microactuator. An electrical signal from the microphone is amplified and processed by the amplifier before being applied to the microactuator. The microactuator is adapted for implantation in a subject at a location from which it may mechanically create vibrations in the perilymph fluid within a subject's inner ear. A transducer of the microactuator is preferably a thin circular disk, 2 to 8 mils thick, of stress-biased PLZT. Disks of this stress-biased PLZT material can be mounted as drumheads in various different ways, preferably in conjunction with a flexible diaphragm, to small threaded metal tubes, e.g. 1.4 mm in diameter and 2.0 mm long. These tubes may be implanted into a fenestration formed through the promontory adjacent to the oval window of a subject's inner ear. Securing the disk to a tube having a larger diameter than that implanted into the fenestration and filling the tube with fluid provides hydraulic amplification of the transducer's displacement. The implantable microphone is preferably fabricated from a thin sheet of PVDF that is overcoated with inert metal electrodes.
摘要翻译：助听器包括可植入麦克风，信号处理放大器，电池和微型致动器。来自麦克风的电信号在施加到微致动器之前被放大器放大和处理。微致动器适于在受试者的内耳内的外淋巴液中机械地产生振动的位置处植入受试者中。微致动器的换能器优选为2至8密耳厚的应力偏置PLZT的薄圆盘。这种受应力偏压的PLZT材料的磁盘可以以各种不同的方式安装为鼓头，优选与柔性隔膜一起安装到小螺纹金属管，例如，直径1.4毫米，长2.0毫米。这些管可以被植入通过邻近受检者内耳的椭圆形窗口的海角形成的开窗。将盘固定到具有比注入开窗的植入物大的直径的管，并且用流体填充管提供换能器位移的液压放大。可植入麦克风优选地由用惰性金属电极涂覆的PVDF薄片制成。

摘要： A fenestration piercing the otic capsule bone of the cochlea receives a therapeutic appliance, such as a microactuator, plug, micropump for drug or therapeutic agent delivery, electrode, and the like. Several different ways of achieving a ‘water tight’ seal between the otic capsule bone and the therapeutic appliance are provided. The therapeutic appliance may be implanted with or without a sheath or sleeve lining the wall of the fenestration formed using specialized surgical burrs. The burrs permit safely fenestrating the otic capsule bone adjacent to the scala tympani of the cochlea without damaging the basilar membrane or organ of corti. This approach may also be adopted for safely fenestrating other areas of the inner ear such as the scala vestibuli, bony labyrinth of semicircular canals, or walls of the vestibule, or the oval or round windows thereof.

摘要： A set of fenestration burrs, for fenestrating otic capsule bone (34), includes an initial burr (150) and a sequence of fenestration polishing burrs (180). A polishing burr (152, 1521), of each of the burrs (150, 180), carries at least one spiraling flute (166, 166′). Fenestrations (36) piercing the bone (34) formed using the burrs (150, 180) exhibit uniform diameters while excluding bone dust from the inner ear. An implantable casing (72) includes a hollow collar (76) from which projects a hollow sleeve (74) receivable into the fenestration (36). The casing (72) is secured there by at least one prong (92, 102) jutting from the sleeve (74). A therapeutic appliance (134) is insertable into the casing (72). A flange (116) extending from one end of the sleeve (74) carries at least one L-shaped slot (122) open at one end and extending circumferentially around the flange (116).

摘要： A implantable sealed microphone (50) includes a diaphragm (52) having a thin central region (54) surrounded by a thicker rim (56). One side of sheet electret material (72) is bonded to the diaphragm (52) while the other side contacts a roughened plate (82). The rim (56) is bonded to a housing (112) thereby hermetically enclosing the electret (72) and the plate (82). The microphone (50) also includes an electrical connector (94) that couples both the plate (82) and the electret (72) to an input of an amplifier (30) included in an implantable hearing aid system (10). Preferably, the microphone (50) is incorporated into a sealed electronics module (100) together with the amplifier (30) and an energy storage device such as a battery that energizes operation of the implantable hearing aid system (10). In such a configuration, the microphone's diaphragm (52) forms a surface of the electronics module's housing (112). An electrical connector (134) couples an output signal from the amplifier (30) to a microactuator (32) of the implantable hearing aid system (10).

摘要： A microactuator (32) of an implantable hearing aid system (10) is secured within a casing (50) implanted into a fenestration (52) that pierces the promontory (18) of the otic capsule bone (31). The casing (50) includes a hollow sleeve (62) that has an outer surface (64) and a first end (66) that is received into the fenestration (52). The sleeve (62) also includes an inner surface (68) adapted to receive a barrel (74) of the microactuator (32). The casing (62) also includes a flange (76) that is integral with the sleeve (62) and projects outward from the outer surface (64) of the sleeve (62) about a second end (78) of the sleeve (62). Various means secure the sleeve (62) within the fenestration (52) such as screwing into the promontory (18) or clamping to the promontory (18). The casing may fasten the microactuator (32) to the casing (50) by a threaded attachment, with screws, with button-and-socket snap fasteners, or with a slotted tongue-and-groove lock. A dummy plug may replace the microactuator (32) should removal become necessary.

摘要： A micro-mirror strip assembly having a plurality of two-dimensional micro-mirror structures with improved deflection and other characteristics is presented. In the micro-mirror structures, electrodes for electrostatic deflection are disposed on conical or quasi-conical entities that are machined, attached or molded into a substrate. The electrodes are quartered approximately parallel to or offset by 45 degrees from rotational axes to form quadrants. Torsion sensors are provided along the axes of rotation to control deflection of the quadrant deflection electrodes.
