| 20080240455 | ACTIVE NOISE CONTROL APPARATUS - A subtractor subtracts an echo canceling signal (Ĉ·y | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080240456 | ACTIVE NOISE CONTROL APPARATUS - A control characteristics changing unit reads, from an EEPROM, various control parameters in an ANC electronic controller, which correspond to specification information acquired from ECUs. The control characteristics changing unit then outputs control parameters, depending on changed specification information among the read control parameters, as change signals Sm | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080240457 | ACTIVE NOISE CONTROL APPARATUS - A subtractor subtracts an echo canceling signal Ĉ·yl(n−1) from a canceling error signal e(n) to estimate a residual noise to be silenced at the position of a microphone, and outputs a first basic signal x | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080292110 | VEHICULAR ACTIVE NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM - A frequency detecting circuit estimates the frequency fp of a propeller shaft based on the frequency fc of vehicle speed pulses, and calculates a control frequency fp′ which is a harmonic of the frequency fp. A basic signal generator generates a basic cosine wave signal xp | 11-27-2008 |
| 20080310642 | ACTIVE SOUND CONTROL APPARATUS - An active sound control apparatus includes a delay circuit for delaying the output of a frequency component of a sound effect by delaying an engine rotation frequency signal representative of an engine rotation frequency [Hz], a delay circuit for delaying the output of an amplitude component of the sound effect by delaying an engine rotation frequency change signal representative of an engine rotation frequency change [Hz/second], and delay circuits for delaying the output of all components of the sound effect by delaying a control signal for controlling the outputs of speakers. | 12-18-2008 |
