Abstract: An active noise reduction system (2) comprising an electroacoustic plasma transducer (5) for mounting in an installation structure and an acoustic sensing system (11). The electroacoustic plasma transducer comprises a plasma electrode arrangement (6) including a collector electrode (8) and a corona electrode (9), and a control system (7) connected to the plasma electrode arrangement for supplying power to the plasma electrode arrangement. The control system comprises a controller (12), and a amplification circuit (13). The acoustic sensing system is connected to the control system providing a measurement signal of an environmental sound to control the output of the electroacoustic transducer for reducing noise. The control system comprises a filter implementing a control transfer function θ(ω) based on a model of the electroacoustic plasma transducer.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for treating diseases that produce elevated intraocular pressures, such as glaucoma, wherein the device includes a housing shell defining a cavity between a first end and a second end of the housing shell, and an elastic membrane disposed within the cavity to divide the cavity into a fluidic channel that permits a flow of fluid from the first end to the second end and a sealed cavity. The elastic membrane deforms to change the volume of the sealed cavity responsive to pressure fluctuations between the first and second ends, thereby varying the fluidic resistance of the flow of fluid through the fluidic channel.
