Variation of annoyance to aircraft noise [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1980
A two-part investigation was conducted as part of a continuing program at Langley Research Center to account for the variability in response of people to aircraft noise. Earlier studies within this program indicated a systematic and substantial increase in the annoyance of people to aircraft noise during a day of testing. Logically, this increase could

Galinstan Liquid Metal/Polyurethane Composite as a Multifunctional Stretchable Electrode and Piezoresistive Strain Sensor With Minimal Drift

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Liquid metal additives are processed in elastomer host resulting in highly conductive and stretchable composites. The material functions as a piezoresistive sensor with minimal drift, low stiffness, and enhanced operating range. The film can replace wires to charge a mobile phone at ∼350% strain and monitors bodily motion in real‐time via a portable ...
