Yet because it is composed of micromachined parts and integrated circuits, the apparatus should be inexpensive to manufacture and could potentially capture a range of frequencies well beyond those of human hearing. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.ecnasiamag.com/article.asp?id=5463 " target="blank">www.ecnasiamag.com/article.asp?id=5463 </a> <br> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
