... An omni or non-directional microphone is sensitive to sound waves arriving from all directions.

CONT

An omnidirectional microphone is one that is designed to be equally sensitive to sounds coming from all directions. The pickup pattern of an "omni" mike is thus described as circular. Actually, it's spherical. These mikes work well for picking up a single sound sporce in another wise quiet environment, or for picking the total sound from several sources, if there is no need to have separate control over the volume of any individual source.... omnidirectional microphones are best used when it's desirable to pick up all the sounds in a given environment.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
DEF

When a semiconductor manufacturer plans new facilities, he must consider the problem of providing sufficient quantities of water that is pure enough for use in the many critical cleaning and rinsing operations of the manufacturing process. Although most production facilities have similar, stringent requirements for high-purity water, their water sources may have widely varying characteristics, depending largely upon geographical location. Because the manufacturer has little or no control over the characteristics of the source water that must be treated to produce his ultrapure processing water, treatment system design demands a thorough knowledge of the purity requirements for a particular operation, and the physical and financial constraints on the proposed installation.
