The density of liquids can be measured with acoustic techniques. This is done by measuring sound velocity and acoustic impedance of the liquid. The presented work describes a novel ultrasonic density sensor that determines the sound reflection coefficient to measure the acoustic impedance of the liquid. It aims to be suitable for industrial applications by achieving a high measurement accuracy while meeting the mechanical and chemical conditions of the process. The high accuracy is obtained with the help of an additional reference measurement inside the sensor. 2, record 5, English, - density%20sensor

A pratical solution to the problem associated with the unknown contact impedance, is to isolate the two electrode functions such that an electrode is not simultaneously used for passing current and measuring voltage. For each measurement, we therefore have two discrete electrode pairs, one for passing current into the region(which shall be called drive pair), and a second for measuring the boundary voltage(known as the receive pair). 1, record 6, English, - discrete%20electrode

La troisième méthode est l'impédancemétrie. Elle permet d'évaluer la qualité de la transmission du son à travers le tympan et la chaîne ossiculaire (appareil de transmission). [...] Dans un premier temps, l'examen porte sur l'évaluation de la souplesse du tympan : on mesure l'énergie de retour d'un son, lorsqu'on fait varier les équilibres de pression interne et externe de part et d'autre de la membrane. [...] Dans un second temps, on étudie le fonctionnement de la chaîne ossiculaire : c'est la recherche du seuil de stimulation à partir duquel se produit le réflexe stapédien : contraction réflexe du muscle de chaque étrier (au niveau des deux oreilles) sous l'effet d'un bruit trop intense. 3, record 9, French, - imp%C3%A9dancem%C3%A9trie
