  • Publication number: 20230192011
    Abstract: Automotive noise attenuating trim part comprising at least a porous layer whereby the porous layer comprises at least one closed container partly filled with loose particles, whereby the closed container comprises a contact surface formed by a film for contacting a vibrating surface of the vehicle and whereby the surface of the film opposite the contact surface is in contact with at least part of the loose particles, such that the film can transfer vibrational energy from the vibrating surface to the loose particles inside the container.

  • Patent number: 11682931
    Abstract: A wireless charger includes a plurality of charging units for charging wirelessly chargeable devices. Each charging unit includes one or more transmit coils for producing a wireless charging signal. Each charging unit also includes a driver circuit for driving the one or more transmit coils. The driver circuit is switchable according to a charging PWM duty cycle of that charging unit. Each charging unit is operable to perform a Q factor measurement by injecting excitation energy into the one or more transmit coils of that charging unit to produce a free resonance signal, and measuring a decay rate of the free resonance signal. Each charging unit is operable to alter its charging PWM duty cycle during a time window in which another charging unit of the wireless charger is performing a Q factor measurement.

  • Patent number: 7677358
    Abstract: The invention relates to a thin sound absorbing multi-layer assembly, which is intended, in particular, to reduce interior or exterior noise of a motor vehicle. The assembly according to the invention comprises at least three stacked layers consisting respectively of: a first layer (4) being impervious and having an area weight of between (20) to (100 g/m2); a second layer (3) having an air flow resistance of between (250) to (2500 Ns/m3) and an area weight of between (15) to (250 g/m2); a third layer (2) being an open pored, acoustic spring type layer having a thickness of between (2) to (30 mm) and an area weight of between (50) to (1000 g/m2).
