A pistonphone is an acoustical calibrator (sound source) that uses a closed coupling volume to generate a precise sound pressure for the calibration of measurement microphones. The principle relies on a piston mechanically driven to move at a specified cyclic rate, pushing on a fixed volume of air to which the microphone under test is coupled.

[ 8 ] Meanwhile, in Japan, the first magazines entirely dedicated to video games began appearing from 1982, beginning with ASCII 's LOGiN , followed by several SoftBank publications and Kadokawa Shoten 's Comptiq .
Minimum inhibitory concentration. In microbiology, the minimum inhibitory concentration ( MIC) is the lowest concentration of a chemical, usually a drug, which prevents visible in vitro growth of bacteria or fungi. [ 1][ 2] MIC testing is performed in both diagnostic [ 1][ 2] and drug discovery laboratories. [ 3][ 4] The MIC is determined by ...
A boundary microphone (or pressure zone microphone) is one or more small omnidirectional or cardioid condenser mic capsule (s) positioned near or flush with a boundary (surface) such as a floor, table, or wall. The capsule (s) are typically mounted in a flat plate or housing. The arrangement provides a directional half-space pickup pattern ...
Maximal information coefficient. In statistics, the maximal information coefficient ( MIC) is a measure of the strength of the linear or non-linear association between two variables X and Y . The MIC belongs to the maximal information-based nonparametric exploration (MINE) class of statistics. [1] In a simulation study, MIC outperformed some ...
Parabolic microphone used at an American college football game. A parabolic microphone is a microphone that uses a parabolic reflector to collect and focus sound waves onto a transducer, in much the same way that a parabolic antenna (e.g. satellite dish) does with radio waves. Though they lack high fidelity, parabolic microphones have great ...
