A City with Mediterranean Atmosphere

Graz isn’t a place to be marched through in double-quick time.
The historical heart of the city is simply too small for that.
And furthermore you’ll always find a spot where you can flop down and take in the marvellous surroundings.

Much has already been written about the special southern flair of the city;
many people appreciate its ‘italianitá’ – and possibly overlook the fact that Graz has drawn on a wide range of influences to become quite a unique place. For centuries the city has been soaking up external influences like a sponge. Numerous Italian Renaissance architects were imported especially to this end and gave the city its face; you can still admire their accomplishments today in ‘Central Europe’s best preserved city centre’- which was declared a world heritage site by UNESCO.

In Austria, Graz and its surrounding areas are considered the land of milk and honey for the rest of the nation: the fantastic white wines, unique pumpkin seed oil, delicious cured meats and exquisite schnapps form the perfect basis for a culture of top class cuisine that pays heed to the regional and nonchalantly integrates the international.

Graz is like an extended living room, somewhere you enjoy spending time in. So, anyone wishing to experience the reality of Central Europe has to come and visit Graz.

Microflown Technologies

Microflown Technologies develops and markets highly innovative acoustic testing techniques to the aerospace, automotive and defence industry. These methods can be applied for product development, end of line testing of manufactured parts, and even for on-line monitoring.

The Microflown is the worlds first and only MEMS technology based sensor that can measure the acoustic particle velocity. By measuring the temperature difference in the cross section of two extremely thin platinum wires placed in parallel, this extremely fast mass flow sensor is capable of monitoring the movement of air particles. Any sound field is described completely by both the (scalar) value sound pressure and the (vector) value acoustic particle velocity. Understandably, acoustic testing becomes much easier if both acoustic quantities can be measured. But the Microflown sensor platform can also be used to measure:

• Structural velocity
• Sound pressure
• Sound Intensity
• Impedance
• Temperature
• DC flow
• Acceleration

Microflown Technologies offers superior applications such as:
• Fast and broad banded vehicle interior noise source path contribution analysis.
  (Portable) near field acoustic cameras.
• Sound source triangulation techniques in the acoustic far field.
• In situ determination of acoustic properties of materials.
• Non contact vibration measurements / modal analysis.
• Acoustic surveillance of strategic objects.
• Micropore leaktesting.
