ELONGATED SOUND ISOLATION DEVICES AND SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17897485 titled 'ELONGATED SOUND ISOLATION DEVICES AND SYSTEMS
Simplified Explanation
- An acoustic scatterer is designed to absorb unwanted target sounds. - The scatterer includes a housing with channels that have open and terminal ends. - The channels are separated and subdivided by spacers along the length of the housing. - A system can be created by stacking multiple acoustic scatterers on top of each other in a lengthwise direction.
Potential Applications
- Noise reduction in industrial settings - Soundproofing in residential buildings - Enhancing audio quality in recording studios
Problems Solved
- Minimizing unwanted noise pollution - Improving acoustic environments - Enhancing privacy in shared spaces
Benefits
- Increased comfort in noisy environments - Improved concentration and productivity - Enhanced audio recording quality
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and devices are disclosed herein for absorbing unwanted target sounds. In one example, an acoustic scatterer for absorbing a target sound includes a housing defining a plurality of channels having an open end and a terminal end. The terminal ends of the plurality of channels are separate from each other and extend along a length of the housing. The acoustic scatterer also includes one or more spacers subdividing the plurality of channels along the length of the housing. In another example, a system for absorbing a target sound includes a plurality of acoustic scatterers, each having a housing that defines a plurality of channels having an open end and a terminal end. The terminal ends of the plurality of channels are separate from each other and extend along a length of the housing. The plurality of acoustic scatterers are stacked on top of each other in a lengthwise direction.
