Abstract: The present invention provides a medium voltage variable frequency driving system, including a three-phase switch-mode rectification module, a multilevel inverter and a high-capacity capacitor module. The three-phase switch-mode rectification module is coupled with a three-phase electrical grid, for converting an AC voltage input with a fixed operating frequency on the three-phase electrical grid into a DC voltage. The multilevel inverter is used for converting the DC voltage into an AC voltage with a required variable frequency, so as to drive an induction motor. The high-capacity capacitor module is coupled between the three-phase switch-mode rectification module and the multilevel inverter, for temporarily storing the DC voltage. In the present invention, a three-phase switch-mode rectification technology is used at the front-end rectifier, and a diode-clamped three-level inverter is adapted correspondingly at the rear-end inverter.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a test signal generator (401) which generates an ultrasonic test signal by modulating an audio band test signal on an ultrasonic signal. The ultrasonic test signal is radiated from a parametric loudspeaker (403) and is demodulated by non-linearities in the air. A reflected audio signal may arise from reflections of an object, such as a wall. An audio band sensor (405) generates an audio band captured signal which comprises the demodulated reflected audio band signal. A distance circuit (407) then generates a distance estimate for the distance from the parametric loudspeaker (403) to the object in response to a comparison of the audio band captured signal and the audio band test signal. Specifically two signals may be correlated to determine a delay corresponding to the full path length. Based on the distance estimates an audio environment may be estimated and a sound system may be adapted accordingly.
