    • An improved fully implantable hearing aid (10) in a first aspect includes at least two microphones (28) to provide improved noise cancellation, and, with an array (132) of microphones (28), improved directivity. In a second aspect, the hearing aid (10) includes an improved microactuator (32') in which deflections of a pair of piezoelectric plates (68) are coupled by liquid (52') to a flexible diaphragm (44') for stimulating fluid (20a) within an inner ear (17) of a subject (12). In a third aspect, the improved hearing aid (10) includes a directional booster (200) that the subject (12), having an implanted hearing aid (10), may wear on their head (122) for increasing directivity of perceived sound. A fourth aspect of the present invention is an improved implantable microactuator (32", 32'") that generates a mechanical displacement of a diaphragm (82) or a face (96) in response to an applied electrical signal. A liquid coupling between the piezoelectric transducer (54", 54'") and the diaphragm (82) or face (96) provides a mechanical impedance match for the transducer (54", 54'").

    • A document transport for a scanner (100) has a flexible, elongated finger (226) disposed adjacent to a document (134), and a force applied to the finger (226) urges teeth (233) on the finger (226) into contact with the document (134) which urges the document (134) along a path through the scanner (100). A piezoelectric plate (222), which applies the force to the finger (226), requires only a small amount of electrical power. To traverse the scanner (100), a document (134) may also be manually fed along a guide (272). First and second speed-sensing detectors (276a and 276b), disposed along the path traversed by the document (134), permit the scanner (100) to determine a speed at which the manually fed document (134) traverses the scanner (100). To conserve electrical energy, the scanner (100) also includes a document-presence detector (274) for activating the scanner (100) when a document (134) to be scanned is present.

    • 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.

    • A method of making an electron permeable window is provided which entails depositing a thin film of an inert, high strength material or compound having a low atomic number onto a substrate by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Following that deposition, a window pattern and window support perimeter are photolithographically defined and the substrate is etched to leave the desired window structure. For a particular class of materials including SiC, BN, B.sub.4 C, Si.sub.3 N.sub.4, and Al.sub.4 C.sub.3, films are provided which are exceedingly tough and pinhole free, and which exhibit nearly zero internal stress. Furthermore, due to their extreme strength, these materials allow fabrication of extremely thin windows. In addition, because of their low atomic number and density, they have excellent electron penetration characteristics at low beam voltages (15 to 30 kV), so that most conventional CRT deflection schemes can be used to direct the beam. Also, such films are remarkably resilient and chemically inert even when very thin and can easily withstand large pressure differences.
    • 提供一种制造电子透视窗的方法,其需要通过化学气相沉积(CVD)将具有低原子序数的惰性高强度材料或化合物的薄膜沉积到基底上。 在沉积之后,窗光图案和窗口支撑周边被光刻定义,并且蚀刻衬底以留下所需的窗口结构。 对于包括SiC,BN,B4C,Si3N4和Al4C3在内的特定类型的材料,提供了非常坚固和无针孔的膜,其表现出几乎零的内应力。 此外,由于它们的极强的强度,这些材料允许制造极薄的窗户。 另外,由于它们的原子数和密度低,它们在低光束电压(15至30kV)下具有优异的电子穿透特性,因此大多数传统的CRT偏转方案可用于引导光束。 此外,即使非常薄并且容易承受较大的压力差,这些膜也具有显着的弹性和化学惰性。
