For army infrasound applications, the target frequency range was in the 1–20 Hz band. [3] Infrasound has the ability to reach distances of 100–500 km. There are natural sources of infrasound emissions, such as avalanches, tornados, volcanoes, earthquakes and man-made sources of infrasound, such as aircraft engines, helicopters, artillery ...
Infrasound arrays at monitoring station in Qaanaaq, Greenland.. Infrasound, sometimes referred to as low frequency sound or incorrectly subsonic (subsonic being a descriptor for "less than the speed of sound"), [1] describes sound waves with a frequency below the lower limit of human audibility (generally 20 Hz, as defined by the ANSI/ASA S1.1-2013 standard).

A nuclear detonation detection system (NDDS) is a device or a series of devices that are able to indicate, and pinpoint a nuclear explosion has occurred as well as the direction of the explosion. The main purpose of these devices or systems was to verify compliance of countries that signed nuclear treaties such as the Partial Test Ban treaty of ...
Infrasound sensitive fibers are found to be simple bipolar cells in the auditory ganglion with a diameter of 1.6-2.2 μm at the axon and 0.9-1.2 μm at the dendrites. [19] They originate in the apical end of the cochlea and they are located near fibers that transmit low frequency sounds in the acoustic range.
The Calculator app running in Windows 8.1. A number of apps are included in the standard installation of Windows 8, including Mail (an email client), People (a contact manager), Calendar (a calendaring app), Messaging (an IM client), Photos (an image viewer), Music (an audio player), Video (a video player), Camera (a webcam or digital camera client), SkyDrive, Reader (an e-book reader), and ...
Microbaroms are a form of persistent low-level atmospheric infrasound, [22] generally between 0.1 and 0.5 Hz, that may be detected as coherent energy bursts or as a continuous oscillation. [11] When the plane wave arrivals from a microbarom source are analyzed from a phased array of closely spaced microbarographs, the source azimuth is found to ...
Vladimir Gavreau, born Vladimir Gavronsky (1904 – 1967), [1] was a French scientist making experiments on the biological effects of infrasound. Gavreau was born in Moscow . His interest in infrasonic waves first came about in his lab during the 1960s, when he and his lab assistants experienced pain in the ear drums and shaking lab equipment ...
An infrared detector is a detector that reacts to infrared (IR) radiation. The two main types of detectors are thermal and photonic ( photodetectors ). The thermal effects of the incident IR radiation can be followed through many temperature dependent phenomena. [ 2 ]
