| 20120182136 | VEHICLE APPROACH WARNING APPARATUS - A vehicle (approach) warning apparatus generates a warning sound that is emitted from a parametric speaker and a vehicle horn, by driving the vehicle horn with a rectangular wave signal of 0 volts or more, thereby preventing a power loss due to a counter electromotive force that is caused by an alternation of a plus electric voltage and a minus electric voltage in the horn as well as preventing a problematic distortion of the warning sound from the horn. Further, since the vehicle (approach) warning apparatus is devised to prevent the parametric speaker from generating a low pitch sound of 500 Hz that is reproduced by the horn, an influence of a higher harmonic wave upon a reproduced sound from the parametric speaker is reduced, thereby preventing deterioration of a sound from the parametric speaker. | 07-19-2012 |
