  • Noise reduction apparatus
    Patent number: 8059827
    Abstract: A passive noise reduction apparatus for altering predetermined sound levels of a sound producing device, the noise reduction apparatus includes at least one piezoelectric foil sensor disposed relative to the sound producing device with the at least one piezoelectric foil sensor being operable to convert such sound wave energy into an electric sound signal and one or more electric circuits in electrical communication with the at least one piezoelectric foil sensor for receiving the electric sound signal and shunting the electric sound signal to a ground connection, thereby reducing sound heard outside the sound producing device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 16, 2006
    Date of Patent: November 15, 2011
    Assignee: BSH Home Appliances Corporation
    Inventor: Uwe Klossowski
  • Sound altering apparatus
    Patent number: 8054984
    Abstract: A sound altering apparatus for altering predetermined sound levels of a sound producing device, the sound altering apparatus includes at least one piezoelectric foil sensor disposed relative to the sound producing device with the at least one piezoelectric foil sensor being operable to convert such sound wave energy into an electric sound signal one or more electric circuits in electrical communication with the at least one piezoelectric foil sensor for receiving the electric sound signal and shunting the electric sound signal to a ground connection, or to produce cancelling sound wave energy in the vicinity of the sound producing device, thereby reducing sound heard outside the sound producing device.
