The human voice consists of sound made by a human being using the vocal tract, including talking, singing, laughing, crying, screaming, shouting, or yelling. The human voice frequency is specifically a part of human sound production in which the vocal folds (vocal cords) are the primary sound source. (Other sound production mechanisms produced from the same general area of the body involve the production of unvoiced consonants, clicks, whistling and whispering.)
Generally speaking, the mechanism for generating the human voice can be subdivided into three parts; the lungs, the vocal folds within the larynx (voice box), and the articulators. The lungs, the "pump" must produce adequate airflow and air pressure to vibrate vocal folds. The vocal folds (vocal cords) then vibrate to use airflow from the lungs to create audible pulses that form the laryngeal sound source. The muscles of the larynx adjust the length and tension of the vocal folds to 'fine-tune' pitch and tone.

Pyramidal horn (a, right) – a horn antenna with the horn in the shape of a four-sided pyramid, with a rectangular cross section. They are a common type, used with rectangular waveguides, and radiate linearly polarized radio waves. ... These types are often used as feed horns for wide search radar antennas.
The first modern horn antenna in 1938 with inventor Wilmer L. Barrow.
They are used as feed antennas (called feed horns) for larger antenna structures such as parabolic antennas, as standard calibration antennas to measure the gain of other antennas, and as directive antennas for such devices as radar guns, automatic door openers, and microwave radiometers. Their advantages are moderate directivity, low standing wave ratio (SWR), broad bandwidth, and simple construction and adjustment.
A horn antenna is used to transmit radio waves from a waveguide (a metal pipe used to carry radio waves) out into space

Phased array antennas have attracted much attention in recent years because of their appealing capabilities to realize a variety of unique radiation characteristics such as high gain, low sidelobe levels, beam scanning, and null steering. The radiation characteristics mainly depend upon the element pattern, the excitation amplitude and phase, inter-element spacing, as well as the array geometry1,2. A number of well-defined techniques, namely the Taylor and Dolph–Chebyschev methods1,2,3,4, use tapered amplitude excitation on uniformly-spaced array antennas to reduce and control the sidelobe levels. Low sidelobe levels can also be achieved by optimizing the phase shifts of the uniformly-spaced array elements5.
In 1961, Harrington6 proposed a novel technique of reducing the sidelobe levels of array antennas with uniform excitation by employing the method of non-uniform spacing of array elements. This technique was further investigated to design unequally-spaced array antennas with uniform6,7,8,9 as well as non-uniform excitation10,11 to improve the array performance, compared to uniformly spaced arrays12,13,14,15. It was demonstrated that the radiation characteristics, e.g., the position of the nulls, beamwidth, sidelobe levels, of the non-uniform arrays can be controlled by the location, magnitude and phase of their base elements. A vast variety of evolutionary algorithms such as genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and differential evolution (DE), were developed for the purpose of optimizing the element positions and excitation to reduce the computational cost16,17,18,19.
This has led to the development of antenna arrays, realizing narrow beamwidths, null steering and reduced sidelobe levels by controlling the element position and excitation20,21,22,23. However, in order to achieve different desired radiation characteristics, it is required that the base element be physically displaced to a pre-determined position. As the element position varies per the requirement, the practical implementation becomes costly and complex. Therefore, a new research paradigm is needed to realize adaptive element spacing arrays over the course of the operation.

An ultrasonic horn (also known as acoustic horn, sonotrode, acoustic waveguide, ultrasonic probe) is a tapering metal bar commonly used for augmenting the oscillation displacement amplitude provided by an ultrasonic transducer operating at the low end of the ultrasonic frequency spectrum (commonly between 15 and 100 kHz). The device is necessary because the amplitudes provided by the transducers themselves are insufficient for most practical applications of power ultrasound.[2]
Another function of the ultrasonic horn is to efficiently transfer the acoustic energy from the ultrasonic transducer into the treated media,[3] which may be solid (for example, in ultrasonic welding, ultrasonic cutting or ultrasonic soldering) or liquid (for example, in ultrasonic homogenization, sonochemistry, milling, emulsification, spraying or cell disruption).[1] Ultrasonic processing of liquids relies of intense shear forces and extreme local conditions (temperatures up to 5000 K and pressures up to 1000 atm) generated by acoustic cavitation.[2]
Acoustic cavitation is the formation and collapse of bubbles in liquid irradiated by intense ultrasound. The speed of the bubble collapse sometimes reaches the sound velocity in the liquid. Accordingly, the bubble collapse becomes a quasi-adiabatic process. ... The pulsation of active bubbles is intrinsically nonlinear.

The most well known, and the first piezoelectric material used in electronic devices is the quartz crystal. Other naturally occurring piezoelectric materials include cane sugar, Rochelle salt, topaz, tourmaline, and even bone.
Piezoelectricity is a phenomenon of strain induced electric polarization in certain crystals, which can be used to create a mechanical action by applying an external voltage for sensors and actuators, or an mechanical straining can produce a voltage for energy conversion.
Plasma (from Ancient Greek πλάσμα 'moldable substance') is one of the four fundamental states of matter. It consists of a gas of ions – atoms or molecules which have at least one orbital electron stripped (or an extra electron attached) and, thus, an electric charge.
Sonoluminescence is the emission of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound.

The positive influence of ultrasound (US) on crystallization processes is shown by the dramatic reduction of the induction period, supersaturation conditions and metastable zone width. Manipulation of this influence can be achieved by changing US-related variables such as frequency, intensity, power and even geometrical characteristics of the ultrasonic device (e.g. horn type size). The volume of the sonicated solution and irradiation time are also variables to be optimized in a case-by-case basis as the mechanisms of US action on crystallization remain to be established. Nevertheless, the results obtained so far make foreseeable that crystal size distribution, and even crystal shape, can be ‘tailored’ by appropriate selection of the sonication conditions.
Crystallization is a process used in many industrial domains including chemical, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries, and usually considered in terms of nucleation and crystal growth [1]. Nucleation processes – viz. production of microscopic crystals – are classified in Fig. 1. So called “primary nucleation” occurs when a crystal is nucleated in a solution containing no pre-existing crystals. On the other hand, nucleation induced in the bulk of a liquid in the absence of solid surfaces is called “homogeneous nucleation”.
Finally, nucleation induced by pre-existing crystals is called “secondary nucleation” and results from the crystals either acting as templates for new crystal nuclei or fragmenting to produce more nucleation sites. Although nucleation theories have advanced considerably in recent years, the templating or a particular ordering within the solid state via the nucleation process is not fully understood.
True homogeneous nucleation is uncommon in practice, and only happens at high levels of supersaturation. Under such high levels, reversible clustering occurs. Beyond the clustering stage, it appears that a point is reached in the development of order and consolidation at which the cluster is able to “template” further accretion of material into the solid matrix, and a nucleus can be considered to have formed. Although it is not possible to theoretically characterize the transition from a cluster to nucleus, it is probably a continuation of the dynamic process by which clusters originally form as spatial inhomogeneities in the supersaturated solution.
In practice, nucleation almost always occurs heterogeneously, and in theoretically clean and particle-free solutions it is believed to be associated with spurious traces of suspended material or imperfections in the container’s surfaces that function as nucleation sites; thus, it is not surprising that the reproducibility of nucleation in these systems is very poor. The lack of a theoretical understanding of homogeneous nucleation makes it difficult to predict what the effects of ultrasound (US) will be, and whether consideration of primary nucleation is relevant in interpreting the results.
