http://asa.aip.org/acou_and_you.htmlThe field of acoustics, because it is so diverse, offers many different career opportunities.Q: What do all of these people have in common?
A: Their work deals with ACOUSTICS.
Acoustics is the science of sound. It relates to recorded music,
to speech and hearing, to the behavior of sound in concert halls
and buildings, and to noise in our environment. Sound waves are used in

Overview of the microflown technology to measure the entire range of acoustical properties like particle velocity, sound power and ( three dimensional ) sound intensity
Mambo - the dynamic portal engine and content management system
The Microflown is the worlds first and only
MEMS technology based sensor that can measure the acoustic particle
velocity. By measuring the temperature difference in the cross
section of two extremely thin platinum wires placed in parallel,
this extremely fast mass flow sensor is capable of
