Publication number: 20190115006Abstract: A method and system for a noise cancellation comprises an amplifier in communication with three or more speakers disposed in an area. A system controller produces a driver signal for each of the speakers in response to a signal from at least one microphone detecting sound in the area and communicates the driver signals to the amplifier. The amplifier drives each speaker with the driver signal produced for that speaker. In response to the driver signals, the speakers emit sound having a magnitude and phase that combine to attenuate a noise field in the area.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2018Publication date: April 18, 2019Applicant: Bose CorporationInventors: Wade P. Torres, David Easterbrook, Paul T. Bender, David J. Warkentin, Steven H. Isabelle, Ryan C. Struzik

A system controller produces a driver signal for each of the speakers in response to a signal from at least one microphone detecting sound in the area and communicates the driver signals to the amplifier. The amplifier drives each speaker with the driver signal produced for that speaker. In response to the driver signals, the speakers emit sound that combined produces a substantially uniform sound pressure field for a particular zone within the area. The substantially uniform sound pressure field produced by the speakers has a magnitude and phase adapted to attenuate a noise field in the area corresponding to the sound detected by the at least one microphone.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2017Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: Wade P.

Publication number: 20160379620Abstract: A method and system for attenuating noise comprises identifying a location in an area at which sound emitted from one or more speakers has acoustic characteristics that are substantially similar in measure to corresponding acoustic characteristics of the emitted sound at a location approximated to be near an ear of an occupant of the area. A microphone, which may be a virtual microphone, is disposed at the identified location. The microphone detects sound at the identified location. In response to the sound detected by the microphone, the one or more speakers emit a noise-canceling audio signal adapted to attenuate one or more frequencies in the sound detected by the microphone.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2016Publication date: December 29, 2016Applicant: Bose CorporationInventors: David J.
