Abstract:
Sound can be listened to only in a listening area by maximizing a sound energy difference between a listening area and a non-listening area while maximizing sound radiation efficiency of each sound source. Accordingly, realistic sound can be provided to listeners without causing auditory disturbance to third parties, and maximal sound effects can be obtained with only minimal control.

A piezoelectric microspeaker using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The piezoelectric microspeaker includes a piezoelectric layer disposed on an elastic thin layer, and a resonance change unit patterned on one of a bottom surface of the elastic thin layer and a top surface of the piezoelectric layer.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to security system and method based on sound field variation pattern. The present disclosure identifies a slow variation pattern of a acoustic transfer function occurring due to a gradual change in temperature and humidity of air according to a change in time and a change in a characteristic of an acoustic element, from a sudden sound field variation pattern within an internal space occurring due to an intrusion from an outside, activation of an air conditioning and heating device, and the like, or within a surveillance space induced by a change in an acoustic physical property. The present disclosure identifies sound field variation patterns occurring due to a change in an acoustic structure by an intrusion and a change in temperature and convection by air conditioning and heating. The present disclosure stores and verifies image information using an image obtaining apparatus.
Abstract:
Provided is an active piezoelectric energy harvester, which can control a direct current voltage applied to an embedded variable capacitance layer to precisely adjust a resonance frequency in real time, and thus achieve a simpler structure and a smaller size compared to a conventional one that adjusts the resonance frequency using a separate variable capacitor provided outside. Further, the active piezoelectric energy harvester can precisely adjust the resonance frequency even when the frequency of vibration varies over time as in a real natural vibration environment or when it is degraded to undergo a variation in its own resonance frequency, and thus can continuously maintain optimal energy conversion characteristics.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a security monitoring method determining whether a trespasser is detected and a position of the trespasser in a set security space and monitoring sound generated at the position of the trespasser by using an acoustic image generated from acoustic signals generated by an acoustic generating device and an acoustic measuring device in an array type. An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a security monitoring system including: an acoustic generating device that generates acoustic signals; a plurality of acoustic measuring devices that receive the acoustic signals; and an acoustic image processing device that generates an acoustic image using a beamforming algorithm from the acoustic signals received in the plurality of acoustic measuring devices and determines a position of a trespasser by comparing the acoustic image after the trespasser is detected with the acoustic image before the trespasser is detected.
