Liam's voice sounded tinny on the net, the result of converting vocal vibrations to neuroelectrical pulse.
A mutant with the ability to convert sound vibrations into light and energy beams, Dazzler was originally developed as a cross-promotional, multi-media creation between Casablanca Records and Marvel Comics until the tie-ins were dropped in 1980.
The term comes from analogy with a microphone, which is intentionally designed to convert vibrations to electrical signals.
To convert vibrations into energy, piezoelectric materials must be packaged into a device so that the vibrations cause strain that can be extracted through a connection to an appropriate electrical circuit.
Consisting of three areas, the outer, middle and inner ear, the auditory periphery acts as a complex transducer that converts sound vibrations into action potentials in the auditory nerve.
An ionophone is a transducer for converting acoustic vibrations in plasma into an electrical signal, or for converting an electrical signal into acoustic vibrations in plasma.
An electric guitar is a guitar that uses electromagnetic induction to convert vibrations of its strings into electric signals.
Piezoelectric pickups (also called "piezo" pickups) are non-magnetic pickups that use a transducer to convert vibrations in the instrument's body or bridge into an electrical signal.
These patients can no longer talk normally, and most carry devices that enable them to communicate: pads and pencils and small sensors that are held against the neck to convert vibrations from inside the throat into an electronic voice.
Schuss, Swing and Splash These five kinds of sports gear use Advanced Control Experts' piezoceramic vibration-control module, which has piezoceramic plates that convert mechanical vibrations to electrical impulses.
