Preclinical acoustic efficiency evaluation of bionic ear

Micromechanical resonator array for an implantable bionic ear.

In this paper we report on a multi-resonant transducer that may be used to replace a traditional speech processor in cochlear implant applications. The transducer, made from an array of micro-machined polymer resonators, is capable of passively splitting sound into its frequency sub-bands without the need for analog-to-digital conversion and subsequent digital processing. Since all bands are me...

A Bionic Approach for High-Efficiency A Bionic Approach for High-Efficiency Sensor Data Processing in Building Automation

Today’s building automation shifts from simple applications like controlling illumination and temperature towards complex applications like the observation of buildings for safety and security reasons or increasing the occupants’ comfort. Complex applications require more and more sensory information. Existing approaches of sensor data processing cannot cope with these demands. In this article,...

Clinical evaluation of the bionic glove.

OBJECTIVE Clinical evaluation of the Bionic Glove, a prototype of a new functional electrical stimulation device designed to improve the function of the paralyzed hand after spinal cord injury. PATIENTS Twelve people with spinal cord injury at C5-C7 who had used the device 6 months or more. SETTING Measurements were made at the Institute "Dr Miroslav Zotović" in Belgrade as a part of a mult...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
