摘要:
An acoustic transducer comprises one or more electromagnetic motors that drive one or more sets of multiple diaphragms to provide acoustically efficient loudspeaker systems having dimensions that allow use in applications that would be difficult or impossible with traditional transducers. The diaphragms may be driven directly, inertially or fluidically. If diaphragms are driven by rods that pass through holes in the diaphragms, noise may be generated by air that leaks through the pass-through holes. This noise may be reduced or eliminated by measures that reduce or eliminate the air leakage.

An improved electrodynamic acoustic transducer eliminates or reduces the need for flexible or elastic materials to suspend an internal magnetic element by using both static and dynamic signal-dependent magnetic fields to control its movement. In one implementation, the transducer has a magnet that moves within a surrounding tube. This tube in turn supports one or more electromagnetic coils that generate a dynamic signal-dependent magnetic field that causes the internal magnetic element to vibrate. The surrounding tube also supports one or more magnets whose location on the tube is fixed and whose magnetic fields provide appropriate restoring forces acting on the internal magnetic element. These fixed magnets may be replaced or supplemented by ferromagnetic materials. This transducer may provide sound and infrasonic vibration by coupling the internal magnetic element to other radiating elements or by being placed in close proximity to or in actual contact with the pinna or meatus of the human ear when used in headphones or earphones, for example, and it also may provide sound through the direct vibration of the air in contact with the surface of the internal magnetic element. When direct atmospheric coupling is not required, the transducer may be assembled in a sealed enclosure.

This invention comprises a system to compensate for the noise level inside a vehicle by measuring the music level and the noise level in the vehicle through the use of analog to digital conversion and adaptive digital filtering, including a sensing microphone in the vehicle cabin to measure both music and noise; preamplification and analog to digital (A/D) conversion of the microphone signal; A/D conversion of a stereo music signal; a pair of filters that use an adaptive algorithm such as the known Least Mean Squares ("LMS") method to extract the noise from the total cabin sound; an estimation of the masking effect of the noise on the music; an adaptive correction of the music loudness and, optionally, equalization to overcome the masking effect; digital to analog (D/A) conversion of the corrected music signal; and transmission of the corrected music signal to the audio system.
