Description

MEASUREMENT OF MECHANICAL VIBRATIONS OR ULTRASONIC, SONIC OR INFRASONIC WAVES (generation of mechanical vibrations without measurement B06B, G10K; measuring position, direction or velocity of an object G01C, G01S; measuring quasi-steady pressure of a fluid G01L 7/00; determining unbalance G01M 1/14; determining properties of material by sonic or ultrasonic waves transmitted therethrough G01N; systems using the reflection or reradiation of acoustic waves, e.g. acoustic imaging, G01S 15/00; seismology, seismic prospecting, acoustic prospecting G01V 1/00; acousto-optical devices per se G02F; obtaining records by techniques analogous to photography using ultrasonic, sonic or infrasonic waves G03B 42/06; speech analysis or synthesis, speech recognition G10L; information storage based on relative movement between record carrier and transducer G11B; piezo-electric, electrostrictive or magnetostrictive elements in general H01L; manufacture of electromechanical resonators by processes which include measurement of frequency with consequential modification of the resonator H03H 3/00)
