加州聖拉菲爾, 2月27日 /美通社-PR Newswire/ -- 歐特克公司 (Autodesk) 已經委任 Cochlear Ltd 旗下部門、開發和制定可植入聽力解決方案領域的全球領導者 Cochlear Bone Anchored Solutions 作為其2009年2月的 Inventor of the Month。 Cochlear 成功採用了 Autodesk Inventor 軟體來開發一個 Baha（骨錨式助聽器）骨導聽力解決方案的數碼原型。該 Baha 系統採用直接骨導，向耳蝸這個內耳的聽覺中心傳輸聲音。這種方法的優點是繞過外耳和中耳（可能被閉塞、受損或損傷）向內耳轉遞聲音振動。因此，有聽力減弱 症狀的個人可以在日常環境下，如電話會議和小組會議，體驗到更加清晰的聲音。 Inventor of the Month 計畫從廣泛使用 Autodesk Inventor 軟體的社區中挑選最有創意的設計和工程進展。Autodesk Inventor 軟體是歐特克數位化樣機 (Digital Prototyping) 解決方案的基礎。數碼原型是一種針對整個終端產品的逼真 3D 數字仿真，該終端產品是用於產品成型之前對其進行設計、視覺化和類比，能夠減少構建實體原型的必要性。 消息來源 歐特克公司 Distributor : 美通社-PR Newswire
