| Research Abstract |
In this project, we aim to develop a micro sensor/actuator with fishbone structure, which is a equivalent system of the human basilar membrane. Our specific targets are a) intelligence microphone for speech recognition, b) hearing aids with adaptive frequency charateristics.
The summary of the results of this project is as follows:
1. Derivation of an optimum fishbone structure as an intelligence microphone
As an optimal design of fishbone, we derived "perfect log-linear structure" , in which
1) resistive elements of resonators are constant,
2) inductive, capacitive elements are arrayd on a log-linear.
2. Proposition of a new feature extraction for acoustic signals
We constructed a theory to extract AM/FM/pitch componets from output signals of fishbone.
3. Implementation of fishbone by Si micro-machining
By a process in Sumitomo Metal Industries, we designed and fabricated fishbone structure and confirmed its characteristics by experimets.
4. Applications of fishbone sensors
With using fishbone sensors, we realized
1) an acoustic sensor with controllable frequency characteristics for micro hearing aids,
2) a sound source localization sensor with bio-mimicry structure.
