Acoustical control can also be achieved by proper space planning. For instance, workstations that are positioned too closely do not provide suitable speech privacy and can be a source of disturbing conversational noise. As a generi rule, a minimum of 8-10 ft between employees, separated by acoustical panels or partitions, wUl provide normal speech privacy.

As the chip is actuated from underneath and an acoustic standing wave is induced in the flow channel since the excitation frequency is set to match the 1/2 resonance criterion of the channel width. It should be noted that the obtained standing wave in the flow channel is orthogonal to the incident wave propagation direction. This fact enables acoustic control of particle and cell displacement in the lateral direction, in plane with the microchip, which in turns opens the route to simple integration with other downstream acoustic separations steps or other microfluidic unit operations.

Most automotive R D projects within adaptronics are concerned with active vibration control (AVC) and active structural acoustic control (ASAC) for optimization of NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) characteristics and even soimd design. Furthermore, active measmes to increase the passive safety of vehicles are being developed. Shape and position control as well as structmal health monitoring (SHM) are stiU of secondary importance.

The form of acoustic control will vary with the configuration of the work station, but it is important to use the design stage to ensure that design of equipment or tooUng within a workplace, which makes up part of a work station, is always the primary method of attacking noise problems. This assumes that the process and the equipment... 

Acoustic control materials are used to reduce noise problems where the design of a machine or tool hasn t solved the problem, or to add to the reduction in noise resulting from good design. As noted earlier, acoustic control materials take two basic forms -porous material which reduces reflection of sound, known as reveiberation, or material of a relatively high density which can reduce the vibration of sound-emitting surfaces or reduce the transmission of sound through a barrier, such as a wall or floor. Certain composites achieve the same effect with less density. 

Merits of different forms of acoustic control materials... 

Again, it is useful to remember that machine design can reduce the noise level before acoustic control materials are employed. It should also be remembered that partial sound barriers are more effective against high frequency noise (a loud squeak) than low frequency noise (a rumble). 

In a suitable workplace of yorrr choice, identify equipment arrd tools used which have been designed with the use of acoustic control material, or with engineering controls on noise.
