An Overview of Microflown Technologies
نویسنده
چکیده
The Microflown is an acoustic sensor measuring particle velocity instead of sound pressure, which is usually measured by conventional microphones. Since its recent invention it is mostly used for measurement purposes (1D and 3D-sound intensity measurement and acoustic impedance). The Microflown is also used for measuring DC-flows, that can be considered as particle velocity with a frequency of 0Hz. Furthermore the Microflown is used in the professional audio as a low frequency add on microphone for pressure gradient microphones (figure of eight; directional microphones). Due to its small dimensions and silicon based production method the Microflown is very suitable for mobile applications like mobile telephones or smartcards. Nowadays sound-energy determination, array applications and three-dimensional impulse response are under investigation. Although the Microflown was invented only some years ago, the device is already commercially available.

The effects of fasting on physiological status and gene expression; an overview
Calorie restriction through ingesting no or minimal amounts of food and caloric beverages for periods of time is called fasting. Fasting can affect body through changing in physical and metabolic adaptations, as well as mineral and hormonal status. However, psychological effects and sometimes medical complications are likely in case of inappropriate fasting. Fasting is associated with changes i...
متن کاملTwo sensor Microflown
Flow sensors commonly are used in, for example, micro liquid handling systems or for measuring gas flows. One example is a gas flow sensor used as a microphone: the Microflown [3]. This sensor is designed to measure particle velocity, very small flows in a frequency range up to twenty kilo Hertz. While the signal to noise ratio is a very important parameter of the microflown an innovative measu...

The Microflown Ultimate Sound Probe (USP) is an acoustic vector sensor capable of measuring the acoustic intensity in 3D and consists of a pressure microphone and a 3D particle velocity sensor. In order to perform a calibration of all three orthogonally positioned components of the particle velocity sensor simultaneously, we calibrate the USP by means of a reference velocity field above a vibra...
