    摘要: An active noise cancellation system (1) for cancelling environment noise perceived by a driver or passenger seated in a seat (3) mounted in a cabin of a vehicle, in combination with said seat, the seat comprising a seat cushion (19), a seat back (21) coupled to the seat cushion at a bottom end and extending upwards to a seat shoulder (23), and a headrest (22) coupled to the seat back, extending upwardly from the seat shoulder, the active noise cancellation system comprising an active noise cancellation circuit (ANC) (30), a plurality of microphones (10) mounted in the headrest and connected electrically to the ANC, and a plurality of speakers (16) mounted in the seat and connected electrically to the ANC circuit. The plurality of microphones comprises at least one first microphone mounted on a right side of the headrest and at least one second microphone mounted on a left side of the headrest, and the plurality of speakers comprises at least one first speaker mounted in the seat shoulder on a left side and at least one second speaker mounted in the seat shoulder on a right side, the right speaker configured to generate a noise cancellation sound from a noise signal picked up by the right microphone processed by the ANC circuit and the left speaker configured to generate a noise cancellation sound from a noise signal picked up by the left microphone processed by the ANC circuit.

    摘要: An active road-noise control system and method include using a sensor arrangement to generate a first sense signal representative of at least one acceleration, motion and/or vibration that occurs at a first position on a vehicle body and a second sense signal representative of sound that occurs at a second position within the vehicle body; they also provide a noise-reducing signal by processing the sense signals according to a first or a second mode of operation. They include the generation of noise-reducing sound within the vehicle body at the second position from the noise reducing signal and the operational state of the sensor arrangement; the first sense signal and the second sense signal are processed in the first mode when the sensor arrangement is in a proper operational state and in the second mode when a malfunction of the sensor arrangement has been detected.

    摘要: A noise and vibration sensor arrangement which is configured to operate with a road noise control system, and includes four acceleration sensors each configured to generate at least one output signal representative of at least one of accelerations, motions and vibrations that act on the respective acceleration sensor. The arrangement includes a vehicle subframe structure having a shape that is axisymmetric to a first axis and that has a maximum extent along a second axis. The first and the second axis are perpendicular. The four sensors are attached to the subframe structure at positions that correspond to four corners of a virtual rectangle. The virtual rectangle has two perpendicular centerlines, one of the centerlines being in line with the first axis of the subframe structure. The extent of the virtual rectangle along the other centerline is less than fifty percent of the subframe structure's maximum extent along the second axis.
