Anti-snoring systems can include a first pillow unit having at least one error microphone and at least one speaker, at least one reference microphone configured to capture sound produced proximate to the at least one reference microphone, and a control unit operatively coupled to the first pillow unit and the at least one reference microphone. In some aspects, the control unit can be configured to produce an anti-noise in the at least one speaker disposed in the first pillow unit by processing signals received from the at least one error microphone and the at least one reference microphone using gated dynamic adjustments such that the anti-noise cancels any sound produced proximate the at least one reference.

Abstract: Apparatus for reducing a vibration that is propagated from outside a structure involves using a stiffener having a support point and a base point situated a distance from the support point to absorb the vibration. When an outside vibration is propagated to the structure, elastic strains occur both in the structure and in the stiffener, and the support point moves relative to the base point. The vibration reduction apparatus monitors the relative velocity of the support point relative to the base point, and when the monitored relative velocity changes its direction, releases a coupling between the support point of the stiffener and the structure, resulting in quick release of potential energy induced by the elastic strain stored in the stiffener and zeroing of the relative velocity between the support point and the base point. The support point of the stiffener is immediately re-coupled to the main structure upon zeroing of the relative velocity, and the relative velocity continues to be monitored until it either becomes zero or again changes direction, at which time the coupling and recoupling is repeated.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for reducing flow-induced resonance in a structure's cavity. A time-varying disturbance is introduced into the flow along a leading edge of the cavity. The time-varying disturbance can be periodic and can have the same or different frequency of the natural resonant frequency of the cavity. In one embodiment of the system, flaps are mounted flush with the surface of the structure along the cavity's leading edge. A piezoelectric actuator is coupled to each flap and causes a portion of each flap to oscillate into and out of the flow in accordance with the time-varying function. Resonance reduction can be achieved with both open-loop and closed-loop configurations of the system.

Abstract: An adaptive snoring signal suppression system globally cancels snoring signals by determining a canceling signal based on a received snoring signal. The system creates a doublet between a plane of a speaker and the source of the snoring signal such that at the plane of the speaker, the canceling signal is 180 degrees out of phase with the snoring signal as measured at the source. The system uses digital signal processing to adaptively estimate a snoring sound canceling signal based on past snoring signals.
