Microminiature molding techniques for cochlear electrode arrays.
We provide a general method for producing a variety of small, complex electrode arrays based on injection molds produced using computer-aided drafting and machining (CAD-CAM) procedures and a novel method for connecting to the very fine electrical leads associated with the individual contacts of such arrays. Cat-sized cochlear electrode arrays with up to eight contacts were built according to t...
متن کاملElectrode interaction in cochlear implant recipients: comparison of straight and contour electrode arrays.
The degree of overlap among cochlear nerve fibers stimulated by different electrodes results in electrode interaction, which has been shown to have a significantly deleterious effect on speech recognition performance in multi-electrode cochlear implant users. The Nucleus CI24R(CS) Contour array, which lies substantially closer to the modiolus than the CI24M straight array, is expected to exhibi...
متن کاملSolitary fibrous tumor surrounding the carotid sheath.
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare spindle cell neoplasms that are mostly found arising from the pleura. Although SFTs recently have been reported in other regions, they are rare in the head and neck and have often been misdiagnosed due to their rarity. SFTs are benign in most cases. Clinically, SFTs usually manifest as well-circumscribed, slow-growing, smooth and painless masses. Symptoms...
متن کاملKinetic theory of plasma sheaths surrounding electron-emitting surfaces.
A one-dimensional kinetic theory of sheaths surrounding planar, electron-emitting surfaces is presented which accounts for plasma electrons lost to the surface and the temperature of the emitted electrons. It is shown that ratio of plasma electron temperature to emitted electron temperature significantly affects the sheath potential when the plasma electron temperature is within an order of mag...
متن کاملTesting of Thin-Film Electrode Arrays for Cochlear Implants of the Future
The Nucleus cochlear implant has been shown to give substantial communication benefit to the severe to profoundly deaf. Future cochlear implants will incorporate an advanced multi-channel electrode array, which will enable better sound-coding strategies to be implemented. This new electrode array will be fabricated using state-of-the-art micromachining technology. Any long-term implanted device...
