Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide, with reduced cost, a compact and simply formed drive device in which noise such as wind noise generating from an electric fan is canceled by the electric fan itself. SOLUTION: The noise such as wind noise generating from the electric fan 12 is detected by a microphone 24. Based on the result of detection by the microphone 24, a control circuit 26 generates a noise control signal to cancel the noise 22 and inputs it into a modulation circuit 16. The modulation circuit 16 modulates a drive signal to drive the electric fan 12 by the noise control signal. Therefore, the electric fan 12 rotates while changing the rotating speed according to the noise control signal and functions as so-called a pneumatic loudspeaker. Consequently, the noise 22 such as the wind noise naturally emitted from the electric fan 12 is canceled by the control noise 28 intentionally emitted from the electric fan 12 as the pneumatic loudspeaker.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the number of participants in a conference without improving the capability of existing servers. SOLUTION: Servers are divided hierarchically into an upper layer server 2c and lower layer servers 2a, 2b, wherein the server 2a supplies sound signals from terminals 4a through 4d and the server 2b supplies sound signals from terminals 4e through 4g while mixing to the upper layer server 2c. The upper layer server 2c supplies a lower layer mixing sound signal from the lower layer server 2a as an upper layer mixing sound signal to the lower layer server 2b, and supplies a lower layer mixing sound signal from the lower layer server 2b as an upper layer mixing sound signal to the virtual server 2b. The server 2a supplies the mixing signal of an upper layer mixing sound signal from the upper layer server 2c and sound signals from the terminals 4a through 4d excepting its own terminal to the terminals 4a through 4d. It is also true for the server 2b. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple and inexpensive broadcast system which supports evacuation guidance using sound. SOLUTION: N numbers (N: plural number) of speakers 12 are spaced along a guiding direction 100. The speakers 12 are connected to a wideband sound source system 18 through band pass filters 14 corresponding to them and a common pre-amplifier circuit 16. The wideband sound source system 18 outputs white noise signal as guiding signal. The band pass filters 14 have frequency characteristics different from each other, and specifically, the frequency characteristics is so set that a speaker 12 closer to an evacuation gate emits a guiding sound higher in frequency. Evacuees can reach the evacuation gate by advancing in such direction as the guiding sound becomes higher in frequency. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
