An audible alarm has first and second acoustic chambers that deliver sound to respective first and second horns. A phase adjustment circuit for delays the phase of sound generated in one of the two chambers so that sound emerging from the two horns is delivered with the same phase and same frequency, and emerging sound from the two horns is additive.

A panel includes about 0.1% to about 95% by weight of a ground renewable component. In an embodiment, the panel has at least one core comprising: from about 0.1% to about 95% by weight of the ground renewable component; from about 0.1% to about 95% by weight of one or more fibers; and from about 1% to about 30% by weight of one or more binders, all based on dry panel weight. In an embodiment, the ground renewable component has a particle size distribution whereby less than 5% of the particles are retained by a mesh screen with openings of about 0.312 inches and less than 5% of the particles pass through a mesh screen with openings of about 0.059 inches. A method for manufacturing such panels is also provided.

An acoustic sensor used in underwater applications. The sensor includes a reflective material adhered to a structure, such as an outer submarine hull or any marine vessel hull. A laser interferometer is placed on the side of the structure with the reflective material. The laser interferometer sends a plurality of laser beams, in sequence or all at one time, to a plurality of points across the retro-reflective material. The laser beams reflect back to the interferometer, which captures the reflected beams using receiving optics. The phase modulation of the reflected laser beams is compared to a reference laser beam within the interferometer to obtain the vibration velocity characteristics of the hull surface structure. Since the reflective material is adhered to the structure, the structure vibration is the same as the vibration of the reflective material. From this vibration, the acoustic pressure associated with the structure may be calculated.

A chain including identically-configured plate elements having at least one through opening that overlaps with through openings of preceding and following plate elements. The plate elements are interconnected with identically-configured rocker members that extend into the plate openings. The rocker members are in the form of pins having an asymmetric cross-sectional shape that includes rolling surfaces and contact point surfaces that engage with the plate opening surfaces. Outer end faces of the rocker members are crowned to provide contact points that are asymmetrically positioned relative to a pin longitudinal central axis. By reversing the rocker member orientation within the plate element through openings, randomization of chain contacts with chain-driven components is achieved, with improved acoustics. And by utilizing identical plate elements and identical rocker members parts manufacture is simplified, as are part inventory requirements.

A drone-based audio system comprising a microphone mounted to a drone body for receiving environmental sound information. The drone-based audio system additionally comprising a processing unit configured to analyze the environmental sound information and calculate active noise cancellation information. The drone-based audio system further comprising a speaker mounted to the drone body for emitting the active noise cancellation information.

The invention relates to a voice coil, a loudspeaker and a manufacturing method of the voice coil. The voice coil comprises a voice coil body formed by winding an enameled wire, a starting wire end and a tail wire end,wherein the voice coil body is provided with a starting wireoutgoing position and a tail wireoutgoing position, the starting wireend is led out from the starting wireoutgoing position, the tail wireend is led out from the tail wireoutgoing position, the starting wireoutgoing position and the tail wireoutgoing position are located at any position in the middle of the voice coil body, and the height of the voice coil body is formed to be the height of the voice coil. The problem that in an existing winding mode, the height of one more layer of wire diameter of the voice coil isincreased due to the fact that wires are led out from two ends of the starting wire is effectively solved, the occupied vibration space of winding is reduced, collision between the voice coil and parts such as a basin stand is prevented, the stability and durability of the voice coil are improved, and the acoustic effect is more excellent.

A mechanical tapper clips onto the end of a stethoscope. The device is operated by pressing a small plunger with the index finger of the hand holding the end of the stethoscope onto the patient's body to aid the percussion portion of a physical exam.

The disclosure provides a well system component configured to reduce excessive acoustic noise that would otherwise interfere with acoustic telemetry systems. Specifically, the well system component includes a body configured to be coupled to a pipe string, at least one lobe extending radially from the body, and a pad disposed on the at least one lobe and extending radially from an outer radial extent of the at least one lobe. The well system component can be installed at critical acoustic transmission locations, such as at the location of a hanger, at or near a flex joint in a wellhead installation, and/or at or near a rig floor or deck of an offshore rig.
