To overcome some of the problems inherent in conventional hearing aids such as low gain at high frequencies due to acoustic feedback, discomfort in occlusion of the external ear canal and so on, implantable middle ear hearing devices (IMEHDs) have been developed over the past two decades. For such kinds of IMEHDs, this paper presents the design of a floating mass piezoelectric actuator using a PMN-30%PT stack as a new type of vibrator. The proposed piezoelectric actuator consists of only three components of a piezoelectric stack, a metal case and a clamp. For the purpose of aiding the design of this actuator, a coupling biomechanics model of human middle ear and the piezoelectric actuator was constructed. This model was built based on a complete set of computerized tomography section images of a healthy volunteer’s left ear by reverse engineering technology. The validity of this model was confirmed by comparing the motion of the tympanic membrane and stapes footplate obtained by this model with published experimental measurements on human temporal bones. It is shown that the designed actuator can be implanted on the incus long process by a simple surgical operation, and the stapes footplate displacement by its excitation at 10.5 V root-mean-square(RMS) voltage was equivalent to that from acoustic stimulation at 100 dB sound pressure level(SPL), which is adequate stimulation to the ossicular chain. The corresponding power consumption is 0.04 mW per volt of excitation at 1 kHz, which is low enough for the transducer to be used in an implantable middle ear device.

二面角是高考的重点知识,也是常考常新的热点之一。很多同学感到困难,尤其是对无棱的二面角,更感到无章可循,显得束手无策。下面简要归纳无棱二面角平面角的求法。
每一种花,都有属于自己的传说,曼陀罗也不例外。  据说曼陀罗是由两姐弟变成的。有一天,姐弟俩在诸神的会议场所附近嬉戏玩耍。回家后,他们告诉母亲,说他们看到了一些不可思议的东西。到底看到了什么,传说里并没具体内容,反正应该算是秘密。结果是诸神大感不悦,便把无意中偷看了秘密的姐弟两人变成了曼陀罗,并且赋予这种花一种特殊功效,那就是任何人吃了之后,一定会说实话。当然也有另外一种说法,说曼陀罗花之所以有这
