  • Publication number: 20190108828
    Abstract: A noise cancellation device includes a voice receiving module, a distance measuring module, a noise cancellation module and a speaker module. The voice receiving module is configured to receive a noise. The distance measuring module is configured to send a distance measuring signal to an object, and calculate distance information of the object according to a reflected distance measuring signal reflected by the object. The noise cancellation module is connected to the voice receiving module and the distance measuring module, and is configured to generate a reverse phase signal of the noise according to the noise. The speaker module is connected to the noise cancellation module, and is configured to generate an anti-noise according the reverse phase signal, and sound the anti-noise according to the distance information.

  • Patent number: 9896262
    Abstract: A cushion package structure includes at least a plate and two or more blocks. The plate is disposed within a storage box and the blocks are the same and pivotable with one another. As a number of blocks are connected with one another serially with various including angle between each adjacent two, one or multiple block sets may be formed thereby. Positioning holes on the plate having substantially same contour as corresponding positioning sections on the blocks are further prepared to engage with the positioning sections as the block sets are put to be disposed on the plate, thereby forming a storage space with a specific shape within the storage box. The blocks may be removed from the plate, rearranged, and redisposed on another plate, so that a storage space with a different shape may be defined.
