Acoustic tweezers can position tiny objects Aug 29, 2009
The wavelength of the applied standing acoustic wave was 200 micrometers and the power intensity was 2,000 ... "Acoustic tweezers " enable flexible on-chip manipulation and patterning of cells using standing surface acoustic waves ... Acoustic tweezers work by setting up a standing surface acoustic wave.

Shifting Sound To Light: Better Computer Chips Mar 23, 2009
The researchers predicted that high frequency acoustic waves can be detected by seeing radiation emitted when the acoustic wave passes an interface between piezoelectric materials ... And the Livermore method doesn t require any external source to detect the acoustic waves ... Usually scientists use an external laser beam that bounces off the acoustic wave much like radar speed detectors to observe high frequency sound. (Science Daily)
RFMD(R) Announces Availability of 3G Switch Filter Modules Feb 18, 2009
The RF1194 integrates a single-pole nine throw (SP9T) pHEMT switch, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE transmit low-pass filtering (LPF) and four GSM/GPRS/EDGE receive (Rx) surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters, for implementation in a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, triple-band WCDMA/HSPA+ 3G multimode handset. With four symmetrical GSM/GPRS/EDGE Rx ports and three symmetrical, high-linearity WCDMA/HSPA+ Tx/Rx ports, the RF1194 simplifies the design of 3G multimode devices by providing a flexible, platform-capable...
