Greetings!
Welcome to the latest issue of Acentech's RH Lyon Division semiannual newsletter. Acentech continues to provide solutions for an array of product noise and sound quality problems.
In this issue we highlight a recent appearance on Chronicle, a Boston area television program that featured Gladys Unger and our product noise and sound quality evaluation services. Learn more about minimizing air cooling noise in electronic equipment in our tech brief, Cool it Man! Quietly! Plus, an introduction to my colleague, Steve Africk, who is doing some very interesting research.
We hope that you find this information interesting and useful. Please contact me directly with any comments or questions.

Spotlight: Quiet Product Design on TV
Did you ever wonder why a consumer product sounds the way it does? Or how its sound might be improved? The producers of a Boston television show, Chronicle, had the same questions, so they came to Acentech to learn more. Consumer products and the ways that Acentech's RH Lyon Division staff work to improve or change sound quality were recently featured on Chronicle, a program produced by Boston's ABC affiliate station, WCVB. The program was devoted to companies that conduct various forms of testing. Gladys Unger demonstrated our noise consulting on consumer products from coffee grinders and hair dryers to, surprisingly, adult undergarments.

As electronic circuits become smaller and faster and the devices they serve become more compact, the heat density produced and the need for convective cooling are increased. |
Meet Our Team: Steve Africk, Supervisory Consultant
Steve has had an extensive career in physics and acoustics, with interests in astrophysics, sonar, submarine acoustics, acoustic materials, infrasound, medical physics, applications of ultrasound to dialysis, and nanotechnology. His current projects include development of dive helmet noise-quieting technologies for hearing protection for divers, acoustic metamaterials, a device for quantitative assessment of tinnitus, and a study of the effects of vibration on human cells.
Steve holds a Ph.D. in Physics from Brown University.
Steve recently represented Acentech at the 2012 Navy Opportunity Forum in Crystal City, VA. He gave a presentation on acoustic metamaterials. Additionally, he demonstrated Acentech's remote noise and vibration monitoring systems and a tinnitus characterization device.
