  • Vehicle noise canceller
    Patent number: 10360896
    Abstract: A vehicle noise canceller includes a road surface condition observation unit, a speaker, and an operation controller. The road surface condition observation unit is configured to observe road surface conditions in a traveling direction of a vehicle. The speaker is configured to generate a canceling sound for canceling road noise entering a vehicle cabin of the vehicle. The operation controller is configured to control the canceling sound generated from the speaker on a basis of information received from the road surface condition observation unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Vehicle aerodynamic structure
    Patent number: 9821864
    Abstract: A vehicle aerodynamic structure changes an airflow passing under a vehicle floor. The structure includes at least one aerodynamic add-on device that exerts an impact on the airflow passing under a lower surface of the vehicle floor. The device is disposed below the lower surface of the vehicle floor on the inboard side of an inboard surface of a tire so as to be located behind a front end of the tire or a flap.
