  • Patent number: 8259955
    Abstract: In a fan noise canceling system, a feedforward signal generated when a fan speed change occurs and a feedback signal read by a sensor are sent to a signal amplifying unit for signal amplification, and the amplified signals are then sent to a signal converting unit for converting into a digital signal. A hybrid controller receives and corrects the digital signals sent thereto, and conducts rapid convergence algorithm to derive a reverse digital signal. The reverse digital signal is sent back to the signal converting unit for converting into a reverse analog signal, which is then sent to the signal amplifying unit for power amplification and generating a control signal to drive a loudspeaker to produce a reverse acoustic wave, which cancels out wave of fan noise to effectively reduce fan noise without adversely affecting the heat dissipation effect of the fan.

  • Patent number: 8085945
    Abstract: In a communication machine room wideband noise suppression system, a sensing unit detects a noise source produced by a fan during the operation thereof and generates a noise input signal and a feedback signal, which are sent to a signal amplifying unit for signal amplification. The amplified signals are then sent to a signal converting unit and converted into digital signals. A multi-channel hybrid controller receives the digital signals and makes corrections and conduct rapid convergence algorithm to derive a reverse digital signal, which is sent to the signal converting unit and converted into a reverse analog signal. The reverse analog signal is sent to the signal amplifying unit for power amplification to generate a control signal for driving a loudspeaker unit to produce interfering acoustic wave, so as to cancel out the noise source and achieve the purpose of eliminating wideband noise.
