Bu buluş algılayıcı olarak kulak zan ya da orta kulak kemikçikleri üzerine yerleştirilen bir piezoelektrik titreşim enerjisi toplayıcı kullanan, bu sayede de gelen ses dalgalarının frekansını algılayıp aynı zamanda ılgılı duyu sinirlerini uyarabilecek elektriksel potansiyeli üretebilen bir total koklear implant hakkındadır Buluş standart koklear implant sistemlerinde kullanılan hana parçalan elimine ettiğinden hastaların aralıksız şekilde duyabilmesini sağlamaktadır Ayrıca sistem kendi enerjisini orta kulaktaki titreşimler vasıtası ile ürettiğinden, sürekli şan edilmesi gereken pil problemi de ortadan kalkmaktadır Buluşun algılayıcı kısmı mikro-elektro-mekanik sistemler (MEMS) üretim yöntemleri kullanılarak üretilmektedir Buluş iki ana parçadan oluşmaktadır, gelen sesin frekansını algılayan aynı zamanda da bu titreşimden enerji üreten algılayıcı, koklea içimdeki işitme sinirlerini uyaran elektrotlar

Method of energy harvesting using built-in potential difference of metal-to-metal junctions and device thereof
Ardanuç , Mehmet Serhan; Zorlu, Özge; Külah, Haluk; Akın, Tayfun (USPTO /Türk Patent Enstitüsü, 2015)
This invention is related with electrical energy conversion device, which uses built-in potential of metal-to-metal junctions from repeating movements with random frequencies, speeds and amplitudes at the medium of the device. The device using the method does not rely on a resonant frequency, besides, it can convert the kinetic energy to electrical energy even at low frequencies. Furthermore, its application to the real life situations is economic and beneficial because of the efficient working principle an...
MEMS based multi-channel piezoelectric acoustic transducer for fully implantable cochlear implants
Yüksel, Muhammed Berat; Külah, Haluk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020)
This thesis presents multi-channel acoustic MEMS transducer that is able to work within the audible frequency range (250-5500 Hz) and mimic the operation of a cochlea by filtering incoming sound. This transducer is composed of eight thin film piezoelectric cantilever beams possessing different resonance frequencies. The transducer is well suited to be implanted in a middle ear cavity with an active volume of 5 x 5 x0.6 mm3 and 4.8 mg. Resonance frequencies and piezoelectric outputs of the beams are modeled ...
Multi-frequency contactless electrical impedance imaging using realistic head models : single coil simulations
Gürsoy, Doğa; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
Contactless electrical impedance imaging technique is based upon the measurement of secondary electromagnetic fields caused by induced currents inside the body. In this study, a circular single-coil is used as a transmitter and a receiver. The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to solve the induced current density distribution inside the realistic head model resulting from a sinusoidal excitation, (2) to calculate the impedance change of the same coil from the induced current distribution inside the head...
Design and modeling elastomeric vibration isolators using finite element method
Ardıç, Halil; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Özkan, Sami Samet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
In this thesis, a process is developed for designing elastomeric vibration isolators in order to provide vibration isolation for sensitive equipment being used in ROKETSAN A.Ş.’s products. For this purpose, first of all, similar isolators are examined in the market. After that, appropriate elastomeric materials are selected and their temperature and frequency dependent dynamic properties are experimentally obtained. Parametric finite element model of the isolator is then constituted in ANSYS APDL using the ...
Design of a compliant mechanism to amplify the stroke of a piezoelectric stack actuator
Keskin, Tamer; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
Main objective of this study is to design a compliant mechanism with high frequency and high mechanical amplification ratio to be used for amplifying the stroke of a piezostack actuator. In this thesis, first of all, related literature is investigated and then alternative conceptual designs are established utilizing the mechanisms found in literature survey. Once best conceptual design is selected, detailed design of this mechanism is done. For detailed design of the compliant mechanism, topology optimizati...
