Who used his diplomatic skills to help secure aid to America from France?

Ben Franklin


why ben franklin was a patriot because he?

Ben Franklin thought it was unfair to patriots that Britain had complete rule over them, so he became a patriot. The rise of a patriot Benjamin Franklin used his brilliant mind in helping prepare for war and to persuade the various patriot leaders and colonies to unite against England. He had great influence in France and gained necessary military and monetary aid from there, which tipped the scales in favor of the colonies.


Why did Benjamin Franklin wear a coonskin cap?

When he went to France to requisition aid for the colonies in the war against the British, the heads of French court thought that surely anyone in the colonies would be a frontiersman. Franklin lived in a city, but he figured it would help to play along, so Ben ordered a coonskin cap to be sent to France. It became quite a hit (as did Ben) with the ladies of the court. To see a drawing of Franklin in his hat, click the link below. According to biographer Walter Isaacson, Franklin wore a hat made of soft marten fur, which he obtained on a trip to Canada seeking support for the Revolution. I don't believe that he wore an actual coon-skin cap as widely purported.

Who invented the hearing aid microchip?

The first electric hearing aid, called the Akouphone, was created by Miller Reese Hutchison in 1898. It used a carbon button transmitter like a telephone, but could provide only limited amplification. These hearing aids could fit into a purse.One of the first manufacturers of electric hearing aids was Siemens in 1913. Their hearing aids were bulky and not easily portable. They were about the size of a tall cigar box.The first vacuum tube hearing aid was patented by Earl Hanson in 1920. It was called the Vactuphone and used a carbon button transmitter like a telephone to turn speech into electrical signals. After the signal was converted, it would be amplified when it moved to the receiver. The hearing aid weighed seven pounds. Marconi in England and Western Electric in the US began marketing vacuum tube hearing aids in 1923.During the 1920s and 1930s, the vacuum tube hearing aid became more successful and began to decrease in size with better miniaturization techniques. The first wearable hearing aid using vacuum tubes went on sale in England in 1936, and a year later in America.One of the major advances that World War II enabled was the idea of miniaturization. This could be seen by Zenith's pocket sized Miniature 75.With the introduction of the transistor, hybrid vacuum tube & transistor hearing aids like the Sonotone 1010became available. The vacuum tubes were still needed because of noise problems with early transistors.The first all transistor hearing aids were offered in 1952, called the Microtone Transimatic and the Maico Transist-ear. Hearing aids were one of very few applications that the transistors at that time could be used for as they did not operate at frequencies much above the audio range.In 1964 Zenith sold a behind the ear hearing aid using an analog integrated circuit amplifier. It weighed just 7 grams.In the late 1980s several companies used digital signal-processing chips in hearing aids, initially in hybrid analog-digital models in which digital circuits controlled an analog amplifier.Fully digital models debuted in 1996, and programmable models adding general purpose microprocessors, became available in 2000.
