Porous damping material (40) is attached to an entire inner circumference of the fan shroud (20) opposing to an end of a fan (4) and is exposed to opposing space without using conventional perforated metal. Accordingly, jet noise caused by strong swirl between the fan (4) and the fan shroud (20) can be damped by the damping material (40) and impulsive sound scarcely occurs. Thus, both of the impulsive sound and the jet noise can be effectively damped, thereby securely reducing noise. The pours member (401) constituting the porous damping material (40) is a die-molding product made by a die (150) having a cavity (153).

The novel structure prevents the circuits in the circuit area being affected by noise caused by TSV when TSV acts as a power pin.

A mechanical quantity measuring apparatus is provided which can make highly precise measurements and is not easily affected by noise even when it is supplied an electricity through electromagnetic induction or microwaves.

A method and system for the distribution of water in a high rise building is provided using a minimum number of piping risers. The system has a domestic cold water riser, and a domestic hot water supply riser and a return riser. At each serviced floor, a cold water supply main extends from the domestic cold water riser and a hot water supply main extends from the domestic hot water supply riser. On each floor at which riser pressure is higher than domestic use pressures, a valve reduces the pressure of the entire cold water supply main to domestic use pressures. One or more valves at each of one or more suites on the floor reduce the pressure of the hot water to each suite, leaving the hot water supply main for the floor at full riser pressure. Coupling fan-coils with chilled water supply and the full pressure domestic hot water provides an efficient piping system for both environmental controls and domestic hot water use. Regular and periodic circulation through fan-coils avoid stagnation of the domestic hot water supply.

An active noise control system is provided which cancels a noise using a sound radiated from a speaker driven by an output from an adaptive notch filter. The system employs output signals from an adder or simulation cosine-wave and sine-wave signals, an error signal or an output signal from a microphone, and a compensated signal from the adder or a signal available for acoustically transferring an output from the adaptive notch filter to the microphone in accordance with initial transfer characteristics to update the filter coefficient of the adaptive notch filter. This configuration allows the system to operate with stability even when the acoustic transfer characteristics vary with time or under circumstances where there exists a significant amount of incoming external noises. The system also prevents overcompensation for a noise at the ears of a passenger in a vehicle, thereby proving an ideal noise reduction effect.

The invention regards a scheme for generating a probe noise signal to be used in an anti feedback system of an audio system. The audio system comprises e.g. a microphone for capturing an audio signal, an audio signal processor for adaptation of the audio signal and a receiver for generation of an audible signal. According to an embodiment of the invention, a noise signal is injected into the audio signal path between the microphone and the receiver and used for estimating acoustical feedback, the noise signal being generated by the following steps:

• • converting a digitized audio signal to the frequency domain, in order to obtain a series of magnitude and phase values,
  • changing the phase values such that the phase of the resulting signal becomes less correlated, preferably substantially un-correlated, to the original signal,
  • converting the magnitude and phase back to a time domain signal using the changed phase values.

The invention may e.g. be used in a hearing aid, a headset or a pair of headphones.
