  • Patent number: 10805725
    Abstract: An active noise cancellation system for reducing unwanted noise in a target area by attenuating a disturbance noise signal (d(n)), which is the remaining noise in the target area originated from an ambient noise signal (x(n)) present in the vicinity of the target area that is transferred to the target area via a main path described by a transfer function P(z)), the active noise cancellation system including a processing unit that implements an ANC-controller which is configured to provide a control signal (y?(n)) for controlling a speaker in the target area in order to generate an acoustic signal (y(n)) that destructively overlaps with the disturbance noise signal (d(n)) and thereby attenuates the same.

  • Patent number: 10246130
    Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a trackless tugger train having at least one transportation module and at least two axle modules. Each transportation module is arranged between two axle modules, wherein each axle module has a wheel axle and a steering device for steering the wheel axle, wherein the steering devices of the axle module are embodied in each case in such a way that each steering device steers the axle module which is assigned to it, independently of a steering device of another axle module.
