Orest Symko at University of Utah began a research project in 2005 called Thermal Acoustic Piezo Energy Conversion ( TAPEC ).

This little book was followed in 1960 by Fant " Acoustic Theory of Speech Production ", which has remained the major theoretical foundation for speech acoustic research in both the academy and industry.

The park adjoins the deep-water on Lake Pend Oreille, where the Navy maintains a submarine research center at Bayview, the Acoustic Research Detachment.

Acoustic quieting is the process of making machinery quieter by damping vibrations to prevent them from reaching the observer.

However, recently other techniques for droplet manipulation have also been demonstrated using Surface Acoustic Waves, optoelectrowetting, mechanical actuation, etc.

The digitally encoded audio signal on a MiniDisc has traditionally been data-compressed using the ATRAC format ( Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding ).

In the 2000s, several car audio manufacturers have produced subwoofers using non-circular shapes from manufacturers including Boston Acoustic, Kicker, Sony, Bazooka, and X-Tant.

* Acoustic Control Corporation, a company which produced instrument amplifiers using Acoustic as a brand name

* Acoustic thermometry, observation of the oceans ' climates using long-range acoustic instruments

With Daniel Eisenstein and Wayne Hu, he introduced the idea of using Baryon Acoustic Oscillations as a Standard Ruler .< ref >

Bassist Jaco Pastorius was probably the most famous user of Acoustic bass amplifiers, using two 360 / 361 units onstage.

Gary Thain from Uriah Heep, Larry Graham ( Sly and the Family Stone ) and ( Graham Central Station ), John Paul Jones ( Led Zeppelin ), Carl Radle ( Derek & the Dominoes ), Ric Grech ( Blind Faith ), John McVie ( Fleetwood Mac ), Tony Stevens ( Savoy Brown and Foghat ), Peter " Overend " Watts of Mott the Hoople, Danny Sheridan ( Eli Radish Band / David Alan Coe ), Rod Ellicott ( Cold Blood ), Flea ( Red Hot Chili Peppers ), John Deacon ( Queen ), and Kirk Powers ( American Tears ), the last two using an Acoustic 371 ( combination of the 370 amp & 301 bass cabinet ).

* Acoustic Modelling using Google SketchUp

* Acoustic refrigerators are refrigerators that use resonant linear reciprocating motors / alternators to generate a sound that is converted to heat and cold using compressed helium gas.

A similar calibration procedure to the above is used for air conduction audiometry, using either an Artificial Ear or Acoustic Reference Coupler.

Acoustic theory is the field relating to mathematical description of sound waves.

** Acoustic dispersion, for sound waves

Sometimes, for the sake of appearance or of the desired " feel " of the instrument, a drum with a trigger will be used as a trigger pad by muffling it so heavily that no significant sound at all is produced, see Electronic drum # Acoustic triggered drum kit.

* Acoustic location, the general use of sound to locate objects

Acoustic problems always require allowing compressibility, since sound waves are compression waves involving changes in pressure and density of the medium through which they propagate.

Acoustic stethoscopes are familiar to most people, and operate on the transmission of sound from the chest piece, via air-filled hollow tubes, to the listener's ears.

Acoustic or sound waves travel at speed given by

Acoustic resonance is a branch of mechanical resonance that is concerned with the mechanical vibrations across the frequency range of human hearing, in other words sound.

Acoustic phonetics deals with the physical properties of sound, what sounds exactly are coming from the person speaking.

* Acoustic keyloggers: Acoustic cryptanalysis can be used to monitor the sound created by someone typing on a computer.

; Acoustic tablets: Early models were described as spark tablets — a small sound generator was mounted in the stylus, and the acoustic signal picked up by two microphones placed near the writing surface.

Acoustic energy is variation in the air pressure that can be represented as sound waves, which are then perceived by the human auditory system as sound.

Acoustic enhancement systems help give a more even sound in the hall and prevent " dead spots " in the audience seating area by "... augment a hall's intrinsic acoustic characteristics.

However, Electric Acoustic Stimulation ( EAS ) devices, including the Hybrid " short-electrode " cochlear implant, have been developed that combine a cochlear implant with a sound amplifying hearing aid.

Acoustic amplifiers are designed to produce a " clean ", transparent, " acoustic " sound when used with acoustic instruments with built-in transducer pickups and / or microphones.

* Acoustic amplifiers, similar in many ways to keyboard amplifiers but designed specifically to produce a " clean ," transparent, " acoustic " sound when used with acoustic instruments with built-in transducer pickups and / or microphones.

Acoustic amplifiers are designed to produce a " clean ", transparent, " acoustic " sound when used with acoustic instruments with built-in transducer pickups and / or microphones.

Green Carnation's trend of music has continuously become less and less heavy after every release ; from straight forward death metal, to a gothic metal / doom metal / progressive metal sound, to a melancholic hard rock-sounding form of progressive rock and in 2006, went as far as to releasing an entirely acoustic album Acoustic Verses.

* Acoustic or pressure ( p ) modes, driven by internal pressure fluctuations within a star ; their dynamics being determined by the local speed of sound.

Other efforts included the album Acoustic, spotlighting their " wooden " sound, a duet with Karla Bonoff, " You Believed in Me " for the MCA Olympic compilation, One Voice, and a cover version of Buddy Holly's " Maybe Baby " for the Decca tribute album, Not Fade Away.

Acoustic impedance indicates how much sound pressure is generated by the vibration of molecules of a particular acoustic medium at a given frequency.

Acoustic cavity resonators, in which sound is produced by air vibrating in a cavity with one opening, are known as Helmholtz resonators.
