| 20110290584 | Ultrasonic Sensor - An ultrasonic sensor includes a substantially cylindrical case including a bottom portion and a side wall portion and a plurality of members disposed within the case. A reinforcement having a substantially ring shape is fitted on a thick section in the case at a location that is not in contact with an inner surface of a thin section of the side wall portion. A piezoelectric element is attached to an inner bottom surface of the case. An elastic member is fitted on the reinforcement so as to cover a substantially ring-shaped opening region of the reinforcement. A gap between the elastic member and an inner circumferential surface of the case is filled with a first filler. The terminal holding member is placed on the elastic member. A surrounding region of the terminal holding member is filled with a second filler. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20090078495 | Baffle equipped with flap assembly - The present invention relates to an acoustic baffle device for sealing a cavity of a vehicle body at a predetermined cross section of the cavity, comprising a piece of sealing material that is formed in a shape corresponding to but being smaller than the shape of the cross section of the cavity. The acoustic baffle device of the invention is characterized in having a flap assembly having a lower neck defining a passage for a flexible tube or a similar device, said lower neck having a flap secured in closed position by a locking device and being connected preferably to the lower end of the lower neck through means that permit the reversible opening of the above-defined passage. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a flap assembly useful for such an acoustic baffle device, and to a process for sealing a cavity of a vehicle body at a predetermined cross section of the cavity. | 03-26-2009 |

| 20110162908 | CONSTRUCTION MACHINE WITH CAB NOISE REDUCTION DEVICE - A construction machine capable of effectively reducing noise which would intrude into a cab, without deterioration in ride quality, comfort and air-conditioning efficiency in the cab is provided. The construction machine includes a lower propelling body, an upper slewing body including an upper frame, a cab including a floor plate and installed on the upper frame, and a cab noise reduction device. The cab noise reduction device includes: the floor plate; an under-cab member including a cab deck supporting the cab and provided under the cab to define a closed-form under-cab space whose periphery is substantially closed, in cooperation with the floor plate; and a resonator reducing noise in the under-cab space by a resonance effect. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20100282537 | ASSEMBLY OF TIRE AND RIM - The present invention provides an assembly of a tire and a rim, which assembly has on the tire inner cavity side thereof a sound absorbing member capable of effectively suppressing cavity resonance and reducing road noise, while suppressing increase in weight of the tire and increase in volume of the sound absorbing member. In this assembly of a tire and a rim, the sound absorbing member is mounted on the inner cavity side of the tire as a sound absorbing layer for suppressing cavity resonance inside the tire. The sound absorbing member is unwoven cloth made of plural fibers, and the average distance d between fibers constituting the unwoven cloth is within the range of 0.50δ to 4.00δ. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110048846 | Noise attenuator for a hydraulic fluid pipe, item comprising this attenuator, pipe comprising this item and method of assembly - This noise attenuator for a hydraulic fluid pipe is made of a material porous to the fluid intended to flow through the noise attenuator. More specifically, the material is a synthetic material. As a preference, the synthetic material is porous polytetrafluoroethylene. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20110315473 | SOUND DAMPING PATCH - A panel assembly for use in any number of different applications, including a variety of vehicle applications, that reduces noise or vibrations, provides thermal insulation, and/or improves structural integrity. According to an exemplary embodiment, the panel assembly includes a main panel made from a metal, one or more sound damping patches also made from a metal, and an adhesive layer that joins the patches to the main panel in a constrained layer construction. The sound damping patches may include one or more forming features, which are designed to improve the formability of the panel assembly without significantly impairing its sound damping characteristics. There are different types of forming features, including internal forming features (e.g., openings, holes, slits, slots, etc.) located within the interior of the patch and external forming features (e.g., projections, fingers, recesses, waveforms, etc.) located along the perimeter of the patch. | 12-29-2011 |
| 20090127022 | PASSIVE VALVE AND RESONATOR ASSEMBLY FOR VEHICLE EXHAUST SYSTEM - An exhaust system includes first and second exhaust components with an inter-pipe that fluidly connects an outlet of the first exhaust component to an inlet of the second exhaust component. A passive valve is mounted within the inter-pipe. The second exhaust component defines an internal cavity that is at least partially packed with a high frequency absorption material and cooperates with the passive valve to effectively attenuate low and high frequency noise. | 05-21-2009 |
