Publication number: 20250027315Abstract: A component for producing building parts has two outer parts arranged at a distance from one another and at least one inner part arranged between the outer parts. The inner part has at least one first part adjacent to an outer part and a second part adjacent to the upper outer part, which has at least one vibration-capable leg, which projects from a third part connecting the first part to the second part, is spaced from the first part by at least one slot and on its side facing away from the first part has at least one recess, which is bridged by the upper outer part and delimited at one end by a projection that has a contact surface, on which the upper outer part is mounted, so that an overall vibration-capable mounting results for the one outer part, leading to a decoupling of structure-borne sound.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2024Publication date: January 23, 2025Applicants: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V., Universität StuttgartInventors: Theresa MÜLLER, Philip LEISTNER, Achim MENGES, Hans-Jakob WAGNER

Patent number: 10178468Abstract: An acoustic system is provided that includes a transducer having a housing, which encloses a volume and in which at least a surface or a sub-surface is formed by a sheet-like structure configured to vibrate. Powder made of adsorbent material having an adsorption effective surface may be present in the volume. The powder may be selected such that, through a movement of the powder caused by vibrations of the sheet-like structure configured to vibrate, the adsorption effective surface is enlarged. The adsorbent material may be selected such that an adsorption of air or gas present in the volume is caused by an increase of the pressure caused from vibrations of the sheet-like structure configured to vibrate. The powder is freely movable within the housing.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2014Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: FRAUNHOFER-GESELLSCHAFT ZUR FÖRDERUNG DER ANGEWANDTEN FORSCHUNG E.V.Inventors: Karlheinz Bay, Michael Leistner, Philip Leistner, Waldemar Maysenhölder

Publication number: 20090183943Abstract: The invention relates to a component for sound absorption and air conditioning (2), which is characterized in that a sound-absorbing planar structure (1) is coated with photocatalytically active material that can be irradiated by UV light sources (3), wherein the air can be guided along the planar structure (1) and/or through the planar structure (1). The component thereby has a front side facing towards a room (5) and a rear side facing away from a room, the rear side being coated with photocatalytically active material.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2007Publication date: July 23, 2009Applicant: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Zur Förderung Der Angewandten Forschung E.V.Inventors: Philip Leistner, Klaus Breuer, Klaus Sedlbauer

Patent number: 6963647Abstract: The invention relates to a controlled acoustic wave guide configured as an elongated hollow chamber (1) which via an opening (2) in its first face end (3) is connected to a sound-conducting channel (4). The longitudinal resonances of the hollow chamber (1) can be adjusted to a sound spectrum to be dampened. To this end diaphragm vibrations are detected by means of a microphone (10) which is positioned directly in front of the diaphragm (8) of at least one loud-speaker (9) at the second face-end (6) of the hollow chamber (1). The microphone signal is then inverted using an amplifier (11) and fed back to the loud-speaker (9) after amplification in accordance with a sensor (12) signal characterizing the sound spectrum in the channel (4).Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1999Date of Patent: November 8, 2005Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Jan Krueger, Philip Leistner

Patent number: 6793037Abstract: Structured pre-form bodies as panel lining for wide-band sound absorption are made of an open-cell foam material having a rigid framework co-vibrating in a resonant manner at low frequencies. The pre-form bodies have a base layer and a columnar structure positioned directly in front of or on the base layer. The columnar structure has a non-symmetrical distribution of height and cross-section, thereby forming a wide-band tuned moderator gap and the columnar height corresponds approximately to the density of the base layer. The columnar structure has a framework resonance adjustable as a function of parameters of the base layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2001Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Gerhard Babuke, Philip Leistner, Helmut Fuchs, Xueqin Zha

Patent number: 6385321Abstract: A reactive sound attenuator which includes a sensor for detecting a sound parameter in a space, e.g. a duct, consists of a signal amplifier that is used to amplify a detected signal, an electroacoustic transducer and a cavity with at least one membrane. The membrane, which is capable of moving in a vibratory manner, is part of a wall of a space, e.g. a duct wall. A sensor, which is disposed in the immediate vicinity of, in or on the membrane, detects the vibrations of the membrane. The sensor's signal, which is amplified and inverted by the amplifier, controls the membrane vibration via the electroacoustic transducer.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 1999Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Fraunhofer-GesellschaftInventors: Jan Krueger, Philip Leistner, Helmut Fuchs, Roland Lippold
