Patent number: 10839824Abstract: During high-frequency interpolation, a harmonic generation unit first generates a harmonic signal for an input compressed audio signal. An HPF unit, having a cutoff frequency, extracts a high frequency component from the compressed audio signal in parallel with the generation of the harmonic signal. An HPF unit, having a cutoff frequency, extracts a high frequency component from the compressed audio signal. An estimation unit estimates a missing band in the compressed audio signal on the basis of a ratio of the signal level of a difference signal to the signal level of an output signal, the difference signal being obtained by subtracting the output signal of the HPF unit from the output signal of the HPF unit. The estimation unit controls the cutoff frequency of a variable HPF unit that extracts a signal component for high-frequency interpolation from the harmonic signal on the basis of the estimated missing band.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2014Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: PIONEER CORPORATIONInventor: Shin Hasegawa

Patent number: 10840480Abstract: A standard direction (S) is a horizontal direction (a direction along X direction in the drawing). A base material (200) is supported by a frame body (250) so that a second surface (204) of the base material (200) is oriented obliquely upward from the standard direction (S). Thereby, a reference direction (R) is oriented obliquely upward from the standard direction (S). A light distribution of light from a light-emitting region (242) (more specifically, a light-emitting unit (172)) has a maximum value in a first direction (D1). The first direction (D1) is different from the standard direction (S). Specifically, an angle formed between the first direction (D1) and the reference direction (R) is greater than an angle formed between the standard direction (S) and the reference direction (R).Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2016Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: PIONEER CORPORATIONInventor: Hiroaki Kitahara

Patent number: 10779076Abstract: A damper and a speaker apparatus includes the damper, which suppresses damage to an oscillatory system from an excessive input signal, enabling an efficiency increase of the speaker apparatus. As a damper has a planar surface, undue deformation of the oscillatory system due to an excessive input signal is suppressed, and damage to the oscillatory system can be suppressed. Furthermore, since the deformation of a corrugation portion by a normal input signal is hardly prevented, a reduction in sound pressure of the speaker apparatus with respect to an input signal is suppressed, enabling an increase in efficiency. Furthermore, the planar surface is extended at a height in a thickness direction different from that of an attachment portion. Thus, rising portions are deformed when a voice coil bobbin is oscillated, enabling suppression of rupture of the damper in the vicinity of a boundary between the planar surface and the attachment portion.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignees: PIONEER CORPORATION, TOHOKU PIONEER CORPORATIONInventor: Yoshihiro Kimura

Patent number: 10770687Abstract: A standard direction (S) is a horizontal direction (a direction along X direction in the drawing). A base material (200) is supported by a frame body (250) so that a second surface (204) of the base material (200) is oriented obliquely upward from the standard direction (S). Thereby, a reference direction (R) is oriented obliquely upward from the standard direction (S). Light from the light-emitting system (20) has standard chromaticity in the standard direction (S). In addition, the light from the light-emitting system (20) has first chromaticity and second chromaticity in a first side direction (S1) and a second side direction (S2), respectively, the first side direction (S1) and the second side direction (S2) being symmetric with respect to the standard direction (S). A difference between the first chromaticity and the standard chromaticity is smaller than a difference between the second chromaticity and the standard chromaticity.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2016Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: PIONEER CORPORATIONInventor: Hiroaki Kitahara
