We meet twice annually: once in the fall and once in the spring. The location of the fall meeting varies, but the spring meeting is usually held in Raleigh. This
fall we were pleased to host the Royster, NC-ASA student award
competitions.
May 18, Spring Meeting 2012
Still in it's infancy, we are planning a great
lineup! Amazing lectures on the influence of natural sound on our lives. We are
inviting all humans interested in the role that we as acousticians provide in
architecture; speech; hearing; bioacoustics; history; paleontology; geology; and
more. Come and join the meeting and live music lineup after the meeting Friday
night. We have single and double rooms assigned at
Haw River State Park
for Thursday May 17. Please Contact
The Chair
for reservations. Stay tuned for
more information on the musical lineup. If you are a musician interested in

Our Spring 2004
meeting:
.......Featured Speakers Bob Coffeen,
University of Kansas
and:
Dr.
Allan J. Zuckerwar
Dr. Allan J. Zuckerwar is Fellow of
the ASA and an associate editor for JASA in Acoustical measurements,
Instrumentation, and Applied Acoustics. Allan
also specializes in infrasound, is the author of the Handbook of the Speed of
Sound in Real Gasses, an ex-officio member of the ASA Technical Committee
Council, and is the Chairman of Standards Committee S1-26, High Frequency
Calibration of the Pressure Sensitivity of Microphones.
Allan
was a contributor to the development of a flexible sensor, a thin-film pressure transducer that fits
over aircraft wings and measures the wind pressure against them. It also
fits over the maternal abdomen, creating a passive fetal heart
monitor, that picks up pressure
from the pulses of the fetus's heart. The physician can monitor those beats from
afar, with the sound sent over a telephone or in visual data through the
Internet.
