Can the 128-Hz tuning fork be an alternative to the biothesiometer for diabetic peripheral neuropathy screening? A cross-sectional study in a tertiary hospital in East India

open access: yesBMJ Open
Introduction Diabetic neuropathy is frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated. Logistic problems accompany the routine use of the biothesiometer. Hence, we attempted to find a more easily available alternative.Research design and methods 149 patients ...

Koenig's Tuning-Forks [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1877
THE letter of Herr Koenig inserted in NATURE (vol. xvi. p. 162) did not come under my notice till July 8. On October 27 last year I counted all the 64 sets of beats in Herr Appunn's tonometer, one through 15, the rest through 20 seconds with a pocket chronometer which was gaining less than 4 seconds a day, and found every set of beats perfectly true ...

Influence of Tuning Fork Resonance Properties on Quartz-Enhanced Photoacoustic Spectroscopy Performance

open access: yesSensors, 2019
A detailed investigation of the influence of quartz tuning forks (QTFs) resonance properties on the performance of quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) exploiting QTFs as acousto-electric transducers is reported.

Photoacoustic spectroscopy for gas sensing: A comparison between piezoelectric and interferometric readout in custom quartz tuning forks

open access: yesPhotoacoustics, 2020
We report on a comparison between piezoelectric and interferometric readouts of vibrations in quartz tuning forks (QTFs) when acting as sound wave transducers in a quartz-enhanced photoacoustic setup (QEPAS) for trace gas detection.

Mechanical response of outer frames in tuning fork gyroscope model with connecting diamond-shaped frame

open access: yesVietnam Journal of Mechanics, 2019
In tuning fork micro-gyroscopes, two outer frames are connected by using the linking elements. The driving vibrations of the two outer frames are required to be exactly opposite to generate the opposite sensing modes perpendicular to driving direction ...

Early days of the tuning fork

open access: yesJournal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1998
Neurologists have for many years used the tuning fork both as a crude test for hearing, by means of the classic tests of HA Rinne (1819–1868)1-3 and Weber-Liel (1832–1891), and for vibration sense. In Pavia, Italy, G Cardano, astrologer, physician, and mathematician, in 1550 suggested that sound could be transmitted through the bony skull as well as ...
