  2. Motion control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_control

    Motion Control encompasses every technology related to the movement of objects. It covers every motion system from micro-sized systems such as silicon-type micro induction actuators to micro-siml systems such as a space platform. But, these days, the focus of motion control is the special control technology of motion systems with electric ...

  3. Acoustic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_levitation

    There are various techniques for generating the sound, but the most common is the use of piezoelectric transducers which can efficiently generate high amplitude outputs at the desired frequencies. Levitation is a promising method for containerless processing of microchips and other small, delicate objects in industry. Containerless processing ...

  4. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    Sound waves may be viewed using parabolic mirrors and objects that produce sound. [ 9 ] The energy carried by an oscillating sound wave converts back and forth between the potential energy of the extra compression (in case of longitudinal waves) or lateral displacement strain (in case of transverse waves) of the matter, and the kinetic energy ...

  5. Acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustics

    Lindsay's Wheel of Acoustics, which shows fields within acoustics. Acoustics is a branch of physics that deals with the study of mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids including topics such as vibration, sound, ultrasound and infrasound.

  6. Motion controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_controller

    In computing, a motion controller is a type of input device that uses accelerometers, gyroscopes, cameras, or other sensors to track motion. Motion controllers see use as game controllers, for virtual reality and other simulation purposes, and as pointing devices for smart TVs and Personal computers.

  7. Physics of whistles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_whistles

    A whistle is a device that makes sound from air blown from one end forced through a small opening at the opposite end. They are shaped in a way that allows air to oscillate inside of a chamber in an unstable way. The physical theory of the sound-making process is an example of the application of fluid dynamics or hydrodynamics and aerodynamics ...

  8. NASA offers explanation for bizarre 'trumpet noise' phenomena

    www.aol.com/news/2015-05-22-nasa-attempts-to...

    NASA scientists believe the ominous noises could potentially be the "background noise" of the Earth otherwise known as "Ambient Earth Noise." Since this still lacks scientific confirmation ...

  9. Haptic technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_technology

    These technologies can be used to create virtual objects in a computer simulation, to control virtual objects, and to enhance remote control of machines and devices (telerobotics). Haptic devices may incorporate tactile sensors that measure forces exerted by the user on the interface.
