Abstract:
A housing for a device for mounting on an assembly surface, in particular a sensor module with a sensor for a motor vehicle, has a housing assembly surface, by way of which the housing may be brought into contact with the assembly surface and a contact socket with electrical contacts which may be electrically and mechanically connected with a complementary contact plug and running parallel to a housing plane in which the housing assembly surface is arranged. A locking device is provided with the following features: a detector for detecting a given position on the assembly surface when the housing is on contact with the assembly surface by way of the housing assembly surface, a blocking device for releasing or blocking the mechanical and/or electrical connection between the contact socket and the contact plug. The connection is released by the blocking device when the housing is in contact with the given position on the assembly surface by way of its housing assembly surface.

Abstract:
A method for an automatic equalization of sound pressure levels in at least one listening location, where the sound pressure is generated by a first and at least a second loudspeaker, comprising supplying an audio signal of a programmable frequency to each loudspeaker, where the audio signal supplied to the second loudspeaker is phase-shifted by a programmable phase shift relative to the audio signal supplied to the first loudspeaker, and where the phase shifts of the audio signals supplied to the other loudspeakers thereby are initially zero or constant; measuring the sound pressure level at each listening location for different phase shifts and for different frequencies; providing a cost function dependent on the sound pressure level; and searching a frequency dependent optimal phase shift that yields an extremum of the cost function, thus obtaining a phase function representing the optimal phase shift as a function of frequency.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for automated tuning of a sound system, the sound system comprising delay lines, equalizing filters, and at least two loudspeakers, the method comprising the steps of reproducing a useful sound signal through the loudspeakers, measuring sound pressure values at least one location, providing a target transfer function for tuning the delay lines and the equalizing filters of the sound system, the target transfer function representing a desired transfer characteristics of the sound system, adjusting the delay of the delay lines, and adjusting amplitude responses of the equalizing filters such, that the actual transfer characteristics of the sound system approximates the target function.
Abstract:
An electrical device, especially a sensor for a motor vehicle, is adapted to be fastened on a mounting surface. The device includes a housing and a support plate. The support plate is rigidly linked with the housing through at least one connecting element. The support plate carries at least one electronic component that reacts to structure-borne noise and that is mounted in the immediate vicinity of the connecting element.
Abstract:
A Method for adjusting a sound system to a target sound, wherein the sound system having at least two groups of loudspeakers supplied with electrical sound signals to be converted into acoustical sound signals; said method comprising the steps of: sequentially supplying each group with the respective electrical sound signal; sequentially assessing the deviation of the acoustical sound signal from the target sound for each group of loudspeakers; and adjusting at least two groups of loudspeakers to a minimum deviation from the target sound by equalizing the respective electrical sound signals supplied to said groups of loudspeakers.
Abstract:
A dereverberation and feedback compensation system reduces the echo received by a first audio device while reducing the speech feedback received from a second audio device. A decorrelation logic decorrelates audio signals from the first audio device. A first processor generates a noise compensation signal based on the decorrelated audio signals and system determined filter coefficients. The second processor generates an enhanced noise correlation signal based on speech signals of a second audio device and the filter coefficients used by the first processor.
Abstract:
Circuit arrangement having a first transformation device (3) to which an incoming audio signal (2) is supplied and which transforms this audio signal (2) from the time domain to the frequency domain resulting in an input spectrum (4), a spectral processing device (5), which is connected downstream from the first transformation device (3), to receive the input spectrum (4) and use it to produce an output spectrum (6) such that the output spectrum (6) has a narrower dynamic range than the input spectrum (4), and a transformation device (16), which is connected downstream from the spectral processing device (5), is supplied with the output spectrum (6) and transforms this output spectrum (6) from the frequency domain to the time domain, resulting in an output audio signal (17).
