  • Patent number: 10319121
    Abstract: The acoustic performance of acoustic materials is readily studied for various values of the material parameters characteristic of acoustic materials. An acoustic performance calculation device is provided with an acoustic performance calculation device that calculates the acoustic performance of acoustic materials for each of a plurality of values in a pre-specified numerical range for each of a plurality of material parameters characteristic of acoustic materials based on a mathematical model for mathematically representing acoustic material, a contour map drawing device for drawing a contour map representing the calculated acoustic performance by contours where the two axes are the values of one material parameter and the frequency, and a plot drawing device for plotting the performance curves showing the relationship between the frequency and the acoustic performance for one value in the numerical range.

  • Publication number: 20110075860
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sound source separation and display method and a system thereof, and provides in particular a sound source separation and display method and a system thereof that are intended to eliminate a specific sound source. In order to separate a plurality of sound sources by using a single set of microphone array, the result of processing of sound source identification is utilized. More specifically, a signal in a direction is extracted from the result of the processing of the sound source identification, and a field limited to/eliminated of the effect of the signal is calculated and displayed. Such an operation can be repeated. A virtual reference signal can be created in a time domain.

  • Patent number: 4868355
    Abstract: A steering wheel assembly including an insulated base having a surface; a plurality of segmented slip rings having surfaces, disposed separately on the insulated base along a circular line such that they are mutually insulated; a plurality of contact pins that make sliding contact with the segmented slip rings along the circular line, and are set facing the surfaces of the segmented slip rings; and interposing pieces provided between the adjacent segmented slip rings such that the contact pins can move smoothly across the segmented slip rings.
