Abstract: A method for making a carbon nanotube array includes placing a gas diffusing unit defining an outlet in a chamber including a first inlet and a second inlet. A gas transporting pipe haves a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the second end is connected to the gas diffusing unit, and the first end passes through the second inlet and extends out of the chamber. A growth substrate defining a through hole covers the outlet. A carbon source gas and a protective gas is supplied to the chamber from the first inlet, to grow a carbon nanotube array including multiple carbon nanotubes. Each carbon nanotube has a bottom end. Then the carbon source gas is stopped supplying, and an oxygen containing gas is supplied to the gas transporting pipe, to oxidize the bottom end.

Abstract: An apparatus for biasing a plurality of microphones includes a sensing circuit that actively senses a local ground reference for each microphone. An intermediate stage receives a constant non-local reference voltage as an input and responsively provides a respective constant local reference signal (e.g., current) with respect to each of the actively sensed local ground references. For each microphone, a respective microphone bias block uses the respective constant local reference signal to generate a respective constant local microphone bias voltage to bias the microphone. For each microphone, a variable RC network uses the respective constant local reference current to generate a constant local reference voltage for the microphone. Each RC network is controllable in response to the respective actively sensed local ground reference to independently set the respective local microphone bias voltage.
