Hearing thresholds for new short-duration signals: The equality of hearing thresholds for click and chirp signals is shownClick and chirp signals with identical amplitude spectra have equal behavioural hearing thresholds for audiometric routine. This might simplify calibration procedures. - more ...Microphone calibration for airborne ultrasoundBy the free-field reciprocity calibration of quarter-inch measuring microphones, the basis for the realization of the sound pressure unit has been created for frequencies up to 160 kHz. and the comparison of extended hydrophone calibration techniques - more ...Broadband Reference Hydrophones for UltrasoundMembrane hydrophones developed and manufactured at PTB allow extremely broadband acoustic pressure measurements and the comparison of extended hydrophone calibration techniques - more ...Measurement of sound field in cavitating media by an optical fibre-tip hydrophoneA fibre-optic technique was applied to measure the sound field in an ultrasonic cleaning vessel under practical conditions. - more ...PTB organizes workshop for acoustic cavitation in the case of ultrasound excitationOn November 17 and 18, 2005 the workshop "Cavitation: Description, quantification and standardization for practical applications" was realized under the - surely somewhat provoking - motto "Everybody uses cavitation, but nobody really understands it". On two days, 40 participants (see photo) from universities, research institutes and manufacturers throughout Germany intensively discussed the fundamentals and applications of this complicated and complex process. - more ...Quantitative determination of the cleaning effect of ultrasound bathsThe recording of spectral sound field parameters directly in the cleaning bath allows the efficiency of ultrasound-based cleaning processes to be determined and optimized. - more ...A new set-up for type approval testing and calibration of sound calibratorsA new set-up allows the automatisation of tests for the type approval and the calibration of sound calibrators. - more ...Portable power standard for the traceability of measuring devices for ultrasonic physiotherapy equipmentA portable power standard for the traceability of measuring devices for ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment has successfully been developed and tested in an international cooperation under EU funding. - more ... |
