Buffers is a tool for designing buffer solutions for pH control. Buffers is useful both as a handy reference of available buffering agents and as an accurate, portable buffer calculator for chemical, biochemical and biological research. With Buffers you can: - Select from 42 commonly used buffering agents - Generate accurate recipes covering broad pH, concentration and temperature ranges - Access detailed information about each available buffer system - E-mail, text, copy or print recipes To use Buffers, just choose a buffering agent and target pH along with the desired solution volume, temperature and buffer concentration. The recipe is calculated with the push of a button. Buffers uses a sophisticated algorithm that is more versatile and potentially more accurate than simple calculations based on the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. An information page for each buffering agent lists the pKa, appropriate pH range, and temperature dependence, along with molecular weights and CAS numbers for the acid and base forms and other pertinent information. Bring your buffer calculations into the lab where you need them!
Wavelet Voice Sonogram

"Wavelet Voice Sonogram" is a sound spectrogram app that performs time-frequency analysis of acoustic signals. A spectrogram is a graph displaying the results of a sound frequency spectrum analysis, with time on the horizontal axis, frequency on the vertical axis, and signal strength represented by colors. This app can perform acoustic analysis and display the spectrograms by using three time-frequency analysis methods, Wavelet analysis, Octave Band analysis, and FFT analysis. It can also record sounds from iPhone's built-in microphone. While playing back a recording, you can search for the desired sound and analyze it. "Wavelet Voice Sonogram" makes it easy to analyze the acoustics of speech, instrumental sounds, noise, and more. It can also be used to learn the basics of speech analysis. Features: - Acoustic analysis can be performed using PCM data recorded with the iPhone's built-in microphone. It is possible to analyze 5 seconds of sound data backward from a user-specified point in time. - Three types of acoustic analysis, FFT analysis, octave band analysis and wavelet analysis, can be performed simultaneously. - PCM sound recording and playback is possible up to about 180 seconds, and the audio waveform graph and FFT analysis graph are displayed. While playing back sound, you can search for sound at any point in time. - Zoom in on a specific 10 seconds of PCM data and play back the sound. Used to find a specific sound at the point in time you want to analyze. - The spectrogram analysis result and time axis waveform can be contrasted and played back. Specifications: - Sampling frequency: 48 kHz - PCM recording time: approx. 180 seconds max. - Sound zoom function (10-Sec): Zooms in on any 10 seconds of PCM data and plays back the sound. - 3 types of acoustic analysis function (Analysis): About 5 seconds (Analysis points can be specified using the Time position slider.) -- FFT analysis (FFT): FFT 2048 points -- Octave band analysis (OCT): 1/48 octave band -- Wavelet analysis (DWT): Gabor Wavelet - Sound recording and playback, sound waveform and FFT graph display (Main): PCM graph, 10sec zoom graph, FFT graph. - Time position slider: Points to the cursor position on PCM graph. - Spectrogram display (FFT / OCT / DWT): 5 sec PCM graph and spectrogram analysis graph (vertical axis - time [0 - 5.0 sec], horizontal axis - frequency [100Hz - 8kHz]) - Snapshot (Snap): Save the analysis image in "Photos". Notes: - The acoustic analysis time varies significantly depending on the performance of your iPhone (product generation). It may take about 5 to 20 seconds. - Wireless (Bluetooth) headphones and headsets are not supported. - The first time the app accesses the built-in microphone and Photos after installation, the iOS system will ask you for permission to access them. If you have not enabled this setting, the application will not be able to access them due to iOS system privacy restrictions. Please enable the access permission in the iOS setting "Settings > Privacy & Security > Photos or Microphone". Please visit our iOS app support page for more information on this app.
