The shape of the resulting
pressure waves can also be quite complex.
The Shockwave C2 IVL Catheter is a proprietary tool designed to fracture problematic calcium using sonic
pressure waves in order to facilitate stent delivery, deployment and optimal expansion, thereby improving blood flow to the heart muscle.
Worse still, the blades are proven to kill bats, not by impact but simply by
pressure waves in the air turbulence caused by these blades.
The lens relies on ultrasonic
pressure waves to navigate organs.
However, according to Philippe Lognonne, a planetary seismologist at Paris Diderot University who is in charge of the NASA instrument, the noise is most probably caused by low-frequency
pressure waves from atmospheric winds on the surface of the planet.
Shockwaves are defined as
pressure waves (or transient pressure oscillations) that propagate in three dimensions and typically induce a clear increase in pressure within few nanoseconds.
The
pressure waves in the axoplasm accompanying the propagation of an action potential were recorded by Terakawa [41].
Pulse pressure amplification (PPA) is conventionally understood in clinical practice as the increase of pulse pressure (PP) amplitude as
pressure waves propagate distally in the systemic network.
"The stuff you hear is
pressure waves; the stuff you feel vibrating your seat is particle motion."
Therefore, the mechanism producing strong
pressure waves and knock was investigated in this study by using a supercharged, optically accessible test engine to generate a wide range of knock intensities from weak to strong knock.
Investigations of the characteristics of
pressure waves, which are generated, for example, by an electric discharge in a liquid, involve recording the total profile of the
pressure wave at a given point in the volume of the liquid.
The Shockwave Medical Coronary Lithoplasty System is a therapy designed to treat calcified coronary artery blockages with lithotripsy, sonic
pressure waves historically used to treat patients with kidney stones.
