| 20110075854 | ACTIVE NOISE CONTROLLER - On an active noise controller, an adjustment reference signal generator generates an adjustment reference signal Sra by reading the waveform data sequentially at a read location shifted by a given amount from a read location for a reference signal Sr with respect to the waveform data at a reference signal generator. A one-tap adaptive filter generates a control signal Scp by multiplying the adjustment reference signal Sra by a filter factor W. A gain controller outputs a compensation control signal Sca generated by multiplying the control signal Scp by gain G. A speaker outputs the compensation control signal Sca as a cancellation sound. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110123042 | ACTIVE VIBRATION/NOISE CONTROL DEVICE - An active vibration/noise control device which is provided with a plurality of cancel signal generation parts for generating output signals for respectively cancelling noises generated at a plurality of vibration/noise generation sources. The effect of the suspension of either of first and second cancel signal generation parts on the other is reduced. According to the operating state of the first cancel signal generation part, the simulated transmission properties of the second cancel signal generation part are adjusted. Consequently, without regard to the operating state of the first cancel signal generation part, the noise control performance of the second cancel signal generation part can be maintained. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20090236173 | METHOD FOR REDUCING NOISE IN A VEHICLE CABIN - A method of controlling noise from a six cylinder engine that can selectively use in separate operating modes either three cylinders, four cylinders, or all six cylinders, is provided that uses a noise cancellation system to provide a cancellation sound at a first frequency representative of the engine operating mode. When the vehicle changes, for example, from a three cylinder utilization mode to six cylinder utilization mode, the method extends the provision of the noise cancellation sound, at a frequency representative of three cylinder operation, beyond the time when three cylinder mode is changed to six cylinder mode. As a result, a residual “pop” noise associated with the vehicle exhaust, that is traditionally heard during the transition period is cancelled and no longer noticeable. The method also includes implementation of a waiting time before a providing cancellation sounds of different frequencies, to avoid amplitude mismatch. | 09-24-2009 |

| 20090028353 | ACTIVE SOUND EFFECT GENERATING APPARATUS - An active sound effect generating apparatus includes a controller (a fourth acoustic adjuster and a fifth acoustic adjuster) which determines the amplitude of a control signal by adjusting the amplitudes of reference signals (intermediate signals) depending on an engine rotational frequency change [Hz/second] calculated by an engine rotational frequency change calculator and an accelerator opening [%] detected by an accelerator opening sensor. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090060217 | VEHICULAR ACTIVE VIBRATORY NOISE CONTROL APPARATUS - A vehicular active vibratory noise control apparatus includes an adaptive notch filter (second control signal generating unit) for generating a corrected error signal representative of a road noise only by removing the component of a rotational frequency (the component of an engine muffled sound) from an error signal, generates a first control signal from the corrected error signal and a reference signal, and reduces the component of the rotational frequency (engine muffled sound) at a position where a microphone is located (evaluating point). | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090067638 | VEHICULAR ACTIVE VIBRATORY NOISE CONTROL APPARATUS - A subtractor subtracts a first control signal output from a first bandpass filter from an error signal, and supplies a differential signal to a second bandpass filter. The second bandpass filter, which has a central frequency of 70 Hz, is affected by an operation of the first bandpass filter, i.e., a first control signal, which has a central frequency of 40 Hz. The first bandpass filter is not affected by an operation of the second bandpass filter, i.e., the second control signal. | 03-12-2009 |
