Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
An ASC generates a control signal based on an engine rotation frequency detected by an engine rotational speed detecting means, and a speaker outputs a sound effect depending on the control signal into a vehicle. The speaker is disposed in a substantially central area of a dashboard, in front of a driver seat and a front passenger seat of the vehicle, in the transverse direction of the vehicle.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
In an acoustic control system an operation range of an active type noise control device (an ANC device) and an operation range of an active type effect sound control device (an ASC device) are exchanged in accordance with the number of working cylinders of an engine.
Abstract:
An active noise control apparatus includes a road surface input detector, a reference signal generator, an adaptive filter, a noise-cancellation sound generator, an error detector, a reference signal corrector, a filter coefficient updating unit, a transfer characteristic variation detector, and an update amount controller. The transfer characteristic variation detector is configured to detect a variation in transfer characteristic between the road surface input detector and the error detector. The update amount controller is configured to increase an amount of updating of a filter coefficient to a value greater than a value that is used in a normal mode in accordance with the variation in transfer characteristic detected by the transfer characteristic variation detector.
Abstract:
While a vehicle incorporating an active vibration noise control apparatus is decelerating, hysteresis is given if an operating point moves from an operating point on a sampling period characteristic curve to an operating point on another sampling period characteristic curve. Even if a base period detected depending on noise contains fluctuations, a smooth noise control process is performed. Since a division number produced when the base period is divided by a sampling period is a real number, the freedom of design is widened. Less strict limits are posed on the processing capability of a CPU of the active vibration noise control apparatus to provide a wider control range.
Abstract:
In a motor-assisted hybrid vehicle, an active vibration control system suppresses torque fluctuations of an engine without detriment to the response of a static torque. An adaptive notch filter outputs a control signal depending on a harmonic basic signal generated by a basic signal generator from a rotational frequency of a crankshaft. A combiner combines the control signal with a drive signal for the generator motor and supplies the combined signal through a power controller to the generator motor. The basic signal is supplied to corrective filters having the transfer function of the generator motor to output a reference signal. The filter coefficient of an adaptive notch filter is successively updated so that an error signal representative of a rotational speed fluctuation of the crankshaft will be minimized.
Abstract:
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 x1(n) representing the residual noise. A first control circuit section generates a first control signal y1(n) based on the first basic signal x1(n) and a second basic signal x2(n) that is generated by delaying the first basic signal x1(n) by a time Z−n. A second circuit section generates a second control signal y2(n) based on the first basic signal x1(n) and an engine rotation signal.
Abstract:
An active noise control system includes a filter coefficient updating unit including an imaginary term estimator. The imaginary term estimator estimates an imaginary term Ie from a real term Re of an error signal e supplied from a microphone. The filter coefficient updating unit updates a filter coefficient W of an adaptive filter based on the imaginary term Ie, the real term Re, and a corrective signal supplied from a reference signal corrector. The filter coefficient updating unit updates the filter coefficient W successively in respective sampling periods.

A vehicular active sound control apparatus has a controller which opens a switch to prevent an uncomfortable sound from being generated by a speaker based on a control signal if the value of a drive signal for the speaker has exceeded a predetermined threshold successively a predetermined number of times.
