  • Publication number: 20220274539
    Abstract: This storage unit is configured to store an outside-of-panel acoustic transfer function that is an acoustic transfer function involving an airborne sound that is a sound emitted from a sound source located outside a panel member and propagated through the air to an outer surface of the panel member, and a panel transmission function that is an acoustic transfer function from the outer surface of the panel member to an inner surface of the panel member. This sound transmission analyzing unit is configured to calculate, based on the outside-of-panel acoustic transfer function and the panel transmission function, an acoustic transfer function from the sound source via the air to the inner surface of the panel member.

  • Publication number: 20210260516
    Abstract: There are provided an air filter medium, a filter pack, and an air filter unit in which the decrease in collection efficiency can be suppressed. The air filter medium includes a fluororesin. The PAO permeability ratio (final permeability/initial permeability) is less than 3.0. The initial permeability is a permeability of polyalphaolefin particles when air containing the polyalphaolefin particles having a number median diameter of 0.25 ?m is passed through the air filter medium at a flow velocity of 5.3 cm/s. The final permeability is a permeability of polyalphaolefin particles when air containing the polyalphaolefin particles having a number median diameter of 0.25 ?m is continuously passed through the air filter medium at a flow velocity of 5.3 cm/s and the pressure loss is increased by 250 Pa.

  • Patent number: 10265654
    Abstract: A filtering medium includes first and second porous membranes mainly composed of fluororesin, and a plurality of air permeable supports to support the first and second membranes. The second membrane is disposed downstream of the first membrane. When air containing polyalphaolefin particles with a count median diameter of 0.25 ?m is continuously passed through at a flow rate of 5.3 cm/sec and pressure loss is increased by 250 Pa, the first membrane has a dust retention amount larger than the second membrane. The filtering medium has a pressure loss of less than 200 Pa when air is passed through at a flow rate of 5.3 cm/sec. A collecting efficiency of NaCl particles with a particle diameter of 0.3 ?m is 99.97% or more when air containing the NaCl particles is passed through at a flow rate of 5.3 cm/sec. The dust retention amount is 25 g/m2 or more.
