    Abstract: The invention relates to an improved adaptive spectral estimator for estimating the spectral components in a signal containing both an information signal, such as speech, and noise. A method and system provide for generating noise estimates and then only updating the noise estimates during pauses in an information signal, when speech or other information is not detected, rather than continuously updating the noise estimates. A noise estimate is calculated for each frequency band and provides for the inclusion of a variable mathematical factor that can be set by the user to produce the best sound quality.

    Abstract: A muffler for muffling noise in a fluid flow, such as exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine comprises a chamber, loudspeakers for injecting anti-noise into the chamber under the control of processing circuitry in dependence upon residual noise detected by a microphone. The gas flows from an inflow pipe to an outflow pipe past a radial aperture that produces an acoustic coupling between the chamber and the gas flow, to allow the anti-noise to mix with noise in the gas flow and produce noise cancellation. The coupling is so arranged that the chamber becomes pressurized by the gas flow, in use, so as to restrict hot gas flow through the chamber and thereby provide an essentially benign environment for the loudspeaker.

    Abstract: A mount assembly is provided for mounting a component, such as an engine, to a vehicle for active control of vibration. The assembly includes first and second mounting members and, an intermediate insert with first and second elastomeric systems connecting said first and second mounting members with the intermediate insert in between. An actuator in parallel with said first elastomeric system provides vertical force to said first elastomeric system to provide a relatively soft vertical rate. A controller operates the actuator in response to sensed vibration so that the vertical force tends to avoid or cancel it. A relatively high fore/aft and lateral dynamic rate of the first system protects the actuator. The second elastomeric system connects the second mounting member with the intermediate insert and exhibits a relatively high vertical rate and a relatively soft fore/aft and lateral rate. One or more sensors feeds data to a controller that analyzes the vibrations to determine the harmonics thereof. The controller then constructs one or more output waveforms and feeds them to the actuator so that a force is applied across the first elastomeric system between the first mounting member and the intermediate insert, thereby tending to produce the relatively soft vertical rate for component isolation and noise suppression.

    Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for conveying audiovisual information. The invention utilizes a speaker as a visual medium. A sheet of material is secured to the radiating face of a speaker. A visual image is then displayed on the sheet of material. Different techniques can be utilized to display the visual image on the sheet of material. For example, a video image can be projected on to the sheet of material or the sheet of material can contain a fixed image. While the visual image is being displayed on the radiating face of the speaker, audible information is being broadcast over the speaker.
