Using light instead of heat, the UV curing process is based on a photochemical reaction. Liquid monomers and oligomers are mixed with a small percent of photoinitiators, and then exposed to UV energy. In a few seconds, the products - inks, coatings or adhesives instantly harden.
(more on hair cells on the next page) Roughly in parallel with the row of 3,500 inner hair cells, three rows of outer hair cells (OHCâs) are situated along the same membrane. The main function of the inner hair cells is to pick up the membraneâs vibrations (like a microphone). The main function of the outer hair cells is to feed back mechanical energy to the membrane in order to amplify the resonance peaks, actively increasing the systemâs sensitivity by up to 60dB(*4C).
There are two types of cochlea hair cells, outside hair cells and inside hair cells. They both assist in the process of relaying sound to the brain. These cells are found in a small area in the cochlea called the organ of Corti. Anywhere from 17,500-23,500 hair cells can be found in the human ear. Cochlear hairs cells get their name from special structures called stereocilia that cover each cell making them look hairy.
