20180240450 | SOUNDPROOF STORAGE CONTAINER - The present invention provides a soundproof storage container for preventing unauthorized eavesdropping via a hacked electronic device. The soundproof storage container includes a housing comprising a base, a sidewall forming an interior volume, and a lid hingedly affixed to the sidewall. The housing further includes a soundproof liner disposed between an interior surface and an exterior surface of the housing, such that the soundproof liner extends the entirety of the housing. A microphone is disposed on the interior surface of the housing and a speaker is disposed on the exterior surface of the housing, wherein the speaker is operably connected to the microphone. Both the speaker and microphone are operably connected to a power source disposed within the housing. In an alternate embodiment, a wireless charging mat and at least one charging port are disposed on the base of the housing, wherein each is operably connected to the power source. | 2018-08-23 |
20180240451 | SOUND ABSORBING STRUCTURE FOR ANECHOIC CHAMBER AND ANECHOIC CHAMBER INCLUDING THE SAME - This technology provides a sound absorbing structure comprising: an outer frame including an opening; a perforated plate member formed in the outer frame and including a rear surface facing the opening of the outer frame and a front surface opposite to the rear surface; and a rear sound absorber interposed between the rear surface of the perforated plate member and the opening of the outer frame, and an anechoic chamber comprising: a wall, a ceiling and a floor; and a plurality of sound absorbing structures of the embodiment fixed to at least the wall and the ceiling. | 2018-08-23 |
20180240452 | ACTIVE NOISE CONTROL USING VARIABLE STEP-SIZE ADAPTATION - A system and method (referred to as the system) that actively reduces noise in a vehicle. The system generates one or more control output signals to drive multiple loudspeakers; and adapts multiple control coefficients of a control filter based on multiple secondary path transfer functions. The secondary path transfer functions model the acoustic paths between each loudspeaker and multiple microphones. The multiple control coefficients are time varying and frequency dependent and the rate the plurality control coefficients adapt is based on an adaptive step size based on one or more step size criteria. | 2018-08-23 |
20180240453 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - An information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program, which make it possible for a user to listen to an audio signal more appropriately are provided. An information processing apparatus, including: behavior recognition unit configured to recognize behavior of a user on a basis of sensing information of at least one of the user and an environment; a processing controller configured to control, on a basis of the recognized behavior of the user, signal processing with respect to at least one of an audio signal listened to by the user, a noise reduction signal, and an external sound monitor signal; and a signal processing unit configured to execute the signal processing. | 2018-08-23 |
