The tuning fork circuit diagram and the full circuit diagram were generated using the trial version of SmartDraw®. The other circuit diagrams were taken from Wikipedia.

The Data Analysis page was generated using Mathematica®'s built in website output tool.

Thank you: Blake Johnson for putting up with us, Simon Mochrie and Dave Glenn.
