Device for acoustically reproducing the respiratory function for a respirator

A device is provided for acoustically reproducing the respiratory function for a respirator, with a patient respiration circuit. The device has a noise generator, a volume flow sensor device, which determines the volume flow in the patient respiration circuit and generates an electric signal representing the volume flow, and a volume flow evaluating unit, which is set up to pick up the volume flow signal and to generate a control signal for the noise generator as a function of this in such a way that an acoustic signal with a loudness rising (falling) with rising (falling) volume flow is generated. To optimize the loudness of the acoustic signal, a microphone and an evaluating unit connected thereto are provided, which said evaluating unit is set up to generate at least a first measure for the instantaneous ambient noise level on the basis of the microphone signal by averaging over at least one period of time and to increase (reduce) the loudness of the acoustic signal with rising (falling) ambient noise level as a preset monotonic function of the at least one measure.

Compressor device

There is provided a compressor device in which resonance in a circulating channel is reduced so that an increase in noise generated from the compressor device is prevented. The compressor device includes: a plurality of blades rotated about a rotation axis; an air inlet extending along the rotation axis and introducing air to the blades; a circulating channel disposed on a circumference centered on the rotation axis and communicating between the air inlet and the shroud of the blades; and a strut extending radially centered on the rotation axis and dividing the circulating channel. Resonance frequencies determined from circumferential lengths in the circulating channels divided by the strut are higher than a noise frequency determined from the rotational speed of the blades and the number of blades.

A motion picture soundtrack reproduction system has a center front soundtrack channel and a plurality of other soundtrack channels. A volume control adjusts the gain of all the channels. The volume control has a range of settings from a minimum to a maximum, the gain of the center front channel having substantially a first relationship to the volume control settings and the gain of the other channels having substantially a second relationship to the volume control settings, the relationships being such that for a range of volume control settings less than a first setting the gain of the center front channel remains substantially constant while the gain of the other channels decreases as the setting decreases or decreases more gradually than the gain of the other channels as the setting decreases.

Control device for an asynchronous machine and method for operating an asynchronous machine

The invention relates to a method for operating an asynchronous machine comprising the steps: determining an operating point trajectory for the asynchronous machine for a plurality of desired torques of the asynchronous machine by calculating 2-tuples from longitudinal current values and cross current values in a synchronously rotating coordinate system of the asynchronous machine; calculating a slip frequency of the asynchronous machine for each of the 2-tuples calculated from longitudinal current values and cross current values; determining a current rotor speed of the asynchronous machine; calculating an excitation frequency of the asynchronous machine by summation of the calculated slip frequency and the current rotor speed weighted with the number of pole pairs of the asynchronous machine; and comparing the calculated excitation frequency of the asynchronous machine with at least one predetermined resonance frequency value of the asynchronous machine. The determined operating point trajectory is thereby corrected by changing the ratio between longitudinal current value and cross current value at a constant desired torque for each of the 2-tuples for which the calculated excitation frequency corresponds to the at least one resonance frequency value.

Voice signal processing device and voice signal processing method

ActiveCN108281148AFilter Loudness Gain ReductionReduce loudnessSpeech analysisFrequency bandVIT signals
The invention provides a voice signal processing device and a voice signal processing method. According to the invention, the filtering loudness gain of a filtering signal of each frequency band is adjusted according to a wide dynamic range compression curve without an output loudness upper limit. Therefore, the filtering loudness gain of each frequency band is reduced through reducing a gain decrease adjustment value, so that the loudness of a loudness adjustment filtering signal is reduced. As a result, the loudness of an outputted voice signal is lower than a first threshold value. By meansof the voice signal processing device and the voice signal processing method, the sound quality of outputted voice signals can be greatly improved.
