  • Patent number: 11823654
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment, an active noise cancellation system. The system includes a first controller, a data bus, and a second controller. The first controller receives first information from a plurality of noise sensing devices and second information from an audio system. The first controller employs a time division multiplexing scheme to generate a multiplexed stream of data including the first information and the second information. The data bus transmits the multiplexed stream of data on a single data channel. The second controller receives the multiplexed stream of data on the single data channel and separates the first information from the second information on the multiplexed stream of data to perform ANC functionality.

  • Patent number: 11651760
    Abstract: A simulation test system and method for vehicle road noise cancellation (RNC) are provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. The simulation test system may include a vehicle RNC simulation system and a power amplifier. The vehicle RNC simulation system is configured to simulate an RNC system in a vehicle environment. The power amplifier is configured to execute an RNC algorithm and may perform data communication with the vehicle RNC simulation system. The vehicle RNC simulation system transmits acceleration data representing an acceleration signal and microphone data representing a microphone signal to the power amplifier as inputs to the RNC algorithm in the power amplifier. Moreover, the vehicle RNC simulation system may receive speaker data representing a speaker signal from the power amplifier. The vehicle RNC simulation system includes a secondary path simulation model and a signal flow simulation model.
