ATTACHMENT DEVICE FOR HOLDING AN AUSCULTATION DEVICE NEAR A SMART DEVICE
An attachment device for holding an auscultation device near a smart device. The attachment device includes an interior compartment for receiving the smart device and a port for receiving the auscultation device. In use, the attachment device holds the microphone of the smart device adjacent to the auscultation device. The smart device records the heart or breathing sounds from the auscultation device, and a mobile application on the smart device classifies the sounds as normal or abnormal.
AIDING DEVICE FOR SINGING ON PITCH
Examples of an aiding device for singers are described. The aiding device comprises a body that has a periphery edge, a top wall and a smooth inner wall. The top wall curves away from the periphery edge thus forming a cup-like cavity which is shaped to define a first chamber and a second chamber that are interconnected together. The first chamber is shaped and sized to fit over an earlobe of a singer while the second chamber has a distal end that is designed and configured to be positioned in proximity to a user's mouth. When in use the first chamber encloses one of user's ears and the distal end of the second chamber is positioned in proximity to user's mouth with the periphery edge pressed against user's face such that a sound produced by the user is captured and travels into the second and first chamber and is reflected back from the smooth inner wall producing echo within the cavity. Thus, the unfiltered sound coming out from the singer's mouth is provided to one of the singer's ear in real time and hear the original sound or key in the other ear so that the singer can match his/her pitch to the original sound.
SOUND BYPASS
A sound bypass device configured to transmit engine-generated sound pulses from an engine to a sound outlet whilst preventing flow of gases to the sound outlet, the sound bypass device comprising: an input tube configured to conduct the engine-generated sound pulses from the engine; and a sound transmission device connected to the input tube at a first end and to the sound outlet at a second end, the sound transmission device comprising: a first volume connected to the first end, a second volume connected to the second end, and a flexible diaphragm separating the first volume from the second volume and configured to transfer variations in pressure in the first volume to the second volume; wherein the first volume has a cross-sectional area that is greater at the diaphragm than at the first end and the second volume has a cross-sectional area that is greater at the diaphragm than at the second end.

Disclosed is a piezoelectric oscillating device, which comprises a multi-section guiding component and an oscillation generating component, the multi-section guiding component including a plurality of guiding units, each guiding unit having a hollow space, the plurality of guiding units being connected together along a longitudinal direction in such a manner that the hollow spaces are connected in series to form the multi-section guiding component, and a guiding channel is formed inside the multi-section guiding component by connecting the plurality of hollow spaces in series, the oscillation generating component including a housing unit and a piezoelectric component, the housing unit being connected to an end of the multi-section guiding component in the longitudinal direction, the piezoelectric component being disposed in a disposing space in the housing unit and oscillating via a control of a piezoelectric signal.
ULTRASONIC BEAM FOCUS ADJUSTMENT FOR SINGLE-TRANSDUCER ULTRASONIC ASSEMBLY TOOLS
Methods, systems, devices, and products for ultrasonic borehole logging using an ultrasonic borehole imaging tool in a borehole intersecting the earth formation. Methods may include adjusting a focus for an ultrasonic beam generated from a single-transducer ultrasonic assembly of the ultrasonic imaging tool; using a receiver to generate measurement information responsive to an ultrasonic signal caused by the ultrasonic beam; and estimating a parameter of interest from the measurement information. Methods may include adjusting the focus in dependence upon environmental conditions, the environmental conditions comprising at least one of: i) standoff between the ultrasonic imaging tool and a wall of the borehole; and ii) borehole annulus conditions. Methods may include adjusting the focus in substantially real-time. The ultrasonic beam may be focused with a focal zone at the borehole wall configured to produce a beam spot size of a selected diameter.
HEADSET
A headset of the present disclosure includes a housing 1 worn on user's ears, an ear-canal insertion portion 10 with a cylindrical shape provided at an ear-canal side of the housing 1 as a part of the housing 1, a driver 4 for outputting a signal provided inside the housing 1, and a microphone 5 provided at the back of a signal outputting surface of the housing 1 to acquire a response signal from a front of the driver 4.
Acoustic sensor having waveguide and inspection device
A sensor includes a first element part having a first member and a first element. The first member is a acoustic tubular waveguide and extends along a first direction. The acoustic tubular waveguide includes a first opening and a second opening. A direction from the second opening toward the first opening is along the first direction. The first element includes a vibratile first membrane, and a first supporter supporting the first membrane. The second opening is between the first opening and the first membrane in the first direction. The sensor may be a Piezoelectric Micro electro mechanical systems Ultrasonic Transducer and may be used for inspecting paper and/or resin including detecting thickness of a fed through banknote and/or the presence of foreign matter thereon such as tape. An optical element may alternatively measure the vibration of a membrane from acoustic through transmission instead of an acoustic receiver.
Energy-based surgical instrument for treating tissue
A surgical instrument includes a housing, an end effector, a movable handle, and a drive assembly. The movable handle includes first and second cantilever spring arms and is movable relative to the housing between a spaced-apart position and an approximated position. The first cantilever spring arm is flexed upon movement of the movable handle from the spaced-apart position towards the approximated position to bias the movable handle towards the spaced-apart position. The drive assembly is operably coupled between the movable handle and the end effector such that movement of the movable handle from the spaced-apart position towards the approximated position moves the end effector from an open position towards a clamping position for clamping tissue. The second cantilever spring arm is flexed upon application of a threshold pressure to tissue clamped by the end effector to control an amount of pressure applied to tissue clamped by the end effector.
