  • Publication number: 20240127841
    Abstract: An acoustic signal enhancement device includes: a spatiotemporal covariance matrix estimation unit 2 configured to estimate spatiotemporal covariance matrices Rf(j) and Pf(j); a reverberation suppression unit 3 configured to obtain a reverberation suppression filter Gf(j) of the sound source j using the estimated spatiotemporal covariance matrices Rf(j) and Pf(j) for each sound source j and to generate a reverberation suppression signal vector using the obtained reverberation suppression filter Gf(j) and the observation signal vector Xt,f; a sound source separation unit 4 configured to obtain an enhanced sound yt,f(j) of the sound source j and power of the sound source j using the generated reverberation suppression signal vector for each sound source j (where 1?j?J) corresponding to the target sound; and a control unit 5 configured to perform control such that processes of these units are repeatedly performed.

  • Patent number: 11745404
    Abstract: A rubber strip manufacturing method that includes a step of extruding a rubber from an extrusion orifice of an extruder includes: a step of forming a long rubber member by extruding the rubber from the extrusion orifice that is circular; and a step of forming a rubber strip by passing the long rubber member through a gap between a pair of rotating rollers. The gap has a shape that is the widest in a central portion in a direction parallel to rotation axes of the rollers and that narrows as a distance from the central portion increases.

  • Patent number: 11555134
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a coating composition capable of forming a coating film which can maintain its appearance and gloss over a long period and which has high film hardness and high flexibility and exhibits excellent adhesion with respect to an epoxy resin anticorrosive coating film. An acrylic polysiloxane resin coating composition of the invention includes (A) a silicone resin, (B) a compound having one or more functional groups capable of undergoing Michael addition reaction with an unsaturated double bond in an acryloyloxy group, and having one or more alkoxy groups bonded to silicon, (C) a trifunctional or polyfunctional aliphatic urethane acrylate oligomer having a cyclic structure, and (D) a bifunctional acrylate monomer having no ether structures (except an ether structure in an acryloyloxy group) and no aromatic rings, the mass ratio of the total amount of (A) and (B) to the total amount of any acrylate oligomer(s) and any acrylate monomer(s) being 40:60 to 70:30.
