  2. Acoustic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_levitation

    It works on the same principles as acoustic tweezers by harnessing acoustic radiation forces. However acoustic tweezers are generally small scale devices which operate in a fluid medium and are less affected by gravity, whereas acoustic levitation is primarily concerned with overcoming gravity.

  3. Ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound

    The ultrasonic humidifier, one type of nebulizer (a device that creates a very fine spray), is a popular type of humidifier. It works by vibrating a metal plate at ultrasonic frequencies to nebulize (sometimes incorrectly called "atomize") the water. Because the water is not heated for evaporation, it produces a cool mist.

  4. Tactile transducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactile_transducer

    A bass-shaker is meant to be firmly attached to some surface such as a seat, couch or floor. The shaker houses a small weight which is driven by a voice coil similar to those found in dynamic loudspeakers. The voice-coil is driven by a low-frequency audio signal from an amplifier; common shakers typically handle 25 to 50 watts of amplifier ...

  5. Ultrasonic cleaning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_cleaning

    Ultrasonic cleaning is a process that uses ultrasound (usually from 20 to 40 kHz) to agitate a fluid, with a cleaning effect. Ultrasonic cleaners come in a variety of sizes, from small desktop units with an internal volume of less than 0.5 litres (0.13 US gal), to large industrial units with volumes approaching 1,000 litres (260 US gal).

  6. Nashville Number System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville_Number_System

    The Nashville Number System is a trick that musicians use to figure out chord progressions on the fly. It is an easy tool to use if you understand how music works. It has been around for about four hundred years, but sometime during the past fifty years [approximately 1953–2003], Nashville got the credit. —

  7. Bassline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bassline

    Bassline (also known as a bass line or bass part) is the term used in many styles of music, such as blues, jazz, funk, dub and electronic, traditional, and classical music, for the low-pitched instrumental part or line played (in jazz and some forms of popular music) by a rhythm section instrument such as the electric bass, double bass, cello, tuba or keyboard (piano, Hammond organ, electric ...

  8. Guided wave testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guided_wave_testing

    The frequency used in the inspection depends on the thickness of the structure, but guided wave testing typically uses ultrasonic frequencies in the range of 10 kHz to several MHz. Higher frequencies can be used in some cases, but detection range is significantly reduced.

  9. Ultrasonic thickness measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_Thickness...

    The ultrasonic thickness gauge then calculates the data based on the speed of the sound through the tested sample. The first ultrasonic thickness gauge was made in 1967 by Werner Sobek; [citation needed] a Polish engineer from Katowice. This first ultrasonic thickness gauge measured the velocity of the waves it emitted in particular test ...
