Cavity optoelectromechanical regenerative amplification is demonstrated. An optical cavity enhances mechanical transduction, allowing sensitive measurement even for heavy oscillators. A 27.3 MHz mechanical mode of a microtoroid was linewidth narrowed to 6.6 ± 1.4 mHz, 30 times smaller than previously achieved with radiation pressure driving in such a system. These results may have applications ...

Gas pulsation in the discharge side of rotary compressor is one of the main sources of noise, so the discharge muffler is widely used to decrease the gas pulsation and noise level. Investigations on pressure pulsation in the muffler can provide not only a method to evaluate the muffler design and modification, but also a base for advanced study of noise in rotary compressor. In this paper the m...

Elastomers saturated with gas at high pressure suffer from cavity nucleation, inflation, and deflation upon rapid or explosive decompression.

Influence of the cheeks expansion during bilabial plosive production This experimental study highlights the influence of expansion of the cheeks during the production of bilabial plosives. The closure of the lips, before the plosive, causes an increase in intra-oral pressure. The assumption suggested in this paper is that the increase of oral cavity volume, as a result of the intra-oral pressur...

We describe a case of negative pressure pulmonary edema that occurred in the post-anesthesia care unit in a patient who had undergone transsphenoidal resection of a pituitary adenoma. Negative pressure pulmonary edema is an uncommon complication of general anesthesia. In this case, the patient's nasal cavity had been filled with surgical packs and she had not become accustomed to breathing thro...

Primljeno (Received): 2011-11-07 Prihvaćeno (Accepted): 2012-03-15 Original scientific paper Abstract: Pressure die casting is the method used for forcing molten metal into mould cavities under high pressure and at high speed (10 100 m.s). Pressure die casting is a highly productive method of casting parts with low dimensions tolerance and high surface quality. From the point of view of product...

Hermetic reciprocating compressor with elliptical shell radiates noise whose frequency spectrum has a peak level at about 200 Hz and about 300 Hz. The 200 Hz and 300 Hz noise is mainly radiated from the top and the side of the compressor shell, respectively. For clarifying the noise radiation mechanism, experimental and theoretical analyses were performed. A noise source simulation test was set...

In this paper, a fully coupled vibro-acoustic finite element model (FEM) is developed to characterize the structural and acoustic coupling of a flexible thin shell by a cylinder-like cavity. The combined integral-modal approach is used to handle the acoustic pressure inside the cavity. Based on the modal proposed, the impact excitation effect on the vibro-acoustic behavior of the coupled system...

A Zn4L4 coordination cage enabled entrapment of gases in both solution and the amorphous solid state at atmospheric pressure. The lipophilic cavity was designed through a cavity-filling strategy, which could bind small hydrocarbon gases. contrasting selectivity gas capture observed state, showing potential to be engineered as porous liquids or adsorbents for separation.

A numerical study is conducted to investigate fluidic control for transonic flow over an open cavity. Numerical results are obtained for the unsteady threedimensional flow with different steady mass injection rates upstream of the cavity. The simulations use a hybrid two-equation turbulence model in the Detached Eddy Simulations (DES) to calculate the flow and acoustic fields. Computational res...
