Abstract
【解決手段】 対向させて配置した下基板31aと上基板31bの対向する内面の所定箇所に下部電極32aおよび上部電極32bを介して熱電素子33の端面を接合して構成された熱電変換モジュール26の上基板31bに、ポリエチレン層からなる厚みが5mmの収熱層28を設けて体温利用発電装置を構成した。そして、収熱層28を人体の体温を利用して加熱し、熱電素子33の両端部間に生じる温度差に応じて熱電変換モジュール26に電力を発生させるようにした。さらに、下基板31a側に、アルミニウムからなる放熱用部材29と放熱フィン部29aを設けた。そして、この体温利用発電装置を人工内耳システムにおけるスピーチプロセッサ20の電源部として使用した。
