This can occur by the generation of a tooth-on-tooth positioning between the toothing of a sliding collar (126) and the come-along toothing of an idler gear (130, 132). Provision is made for the control of the activation movement of the sliding collar (126) carried out in such a manner that an activation condition impact of the transmission parts, which are partakers in the shifting associated transmission part onto other transmission parts with the least possible impact force and / or with a least possible impact noise level.

A dryer uses a high-speed blower producing high velocity air, a heater and a compound directional nozzle containing multiple tubular, cylindrical air sub-outlets to generate both suitable force and temperature in the sub-jets of air to dry the user's hands. The air outlets are sized and shaped to maintain direction of airflow at the location of the hands. The multiple tubular sub-nozzles reduce the air turbulence noise from the fast airflow sub-jets striking the hands by providing spaces between the adjacent sub-nozzles and air sub-jets so that the turbulence and hand impact noise is reduced and so that the water evaporated from the water film has a shorter escape distance. An ion source provides ions in the output air from the compound directional nozzle to enhance evaporation.

A computer based bird control system is provided. The bird control system utilizes an impactor that is attachable to a structure, such as an I-beam or other similarly sized and dimensioned metal object, to create an acoustic impact noise similar to a whacking of the structure. The impactor is preferably actuated at a random or a semi-random impact rate such as around once every ten seconds. The acoustic impact noise may be provided in addition to the playing of bird predator or other deterrent sounds maintained in audio files on the computer. The system also provides audio and / or physical bird presence detection within a monitored area. Detection of the presence of a bird may be used as a trigger for the actuation of the impactor and / or predator / deterrent sounds. Actuation of the impactor and / or sound files may be accomplished via a schedule through the use of timer files in addition to or in place of animal presence detection. A graphical user interface of the system provides user control of the system including the ability to set and / or modify system parameters such as those that can detect particular bird species via audio detection, as well as the manipulation of timer file parameters for automatic or forced activation of the impactor and / or sound files.

An electronic expansion valve is mounted in each indoor unit. The control method includes: when an instruction for turning off all the indoor units of the VRF air conditioner is received, controlling the compressor of the outdoor unit to stop operation, and controlling an optional number of electronic expansion valves in all the indoor units to keep a preset openness; detecting the difference of high pressure and low pressure in the compressor, and / or recording the duration of operation stopping; when the detected pressure difference is smaller than or equal to a preset pressure value and / or the duration of operation stopping reaches preset duration, controlling the four-way valve in the outdoor unit to deenergize. By the control method, when all the indoor units of the VRF air conditioner are turned off, air flow impact noise can be avoided while air conditioner energy consumption can be lowered under the premise that the difference of the high pressure and the low pressure in the compressor is balanced.

In an electromagnet switch, a stationary iron core is composed mainly of a base part and a disk part. The base part is faced to a plunger and the disk part is forcedly inserted and fixed to a boss part formed in the base part. The disk part is composed of a metal plate of ferromagnetic substance (iron plate) and another substance plate (made of resin or rubber and the like, for example,) of a smaller spring constant or a larger damping coefficient than that of the metal plate. The metal plate and another substance plate are laminated. Another substance plate absorbs or reduces the impact force when the plunger is electromagnetically attracted toward and collides with the base part. The propagation of a large impact noise or crashing sound is thereby suppressed, and as a result the impact noise can be reduced.

A noise-reducing substrate for use in a flooring system, the flooring system having a subfloor and a decorative upper layer. The substrate comprises a series of edge butted panels, each of which has a bottom surface, a top surface and side surfaces. Each panel's top surface and oppositely facing bottom surface are parallel to each other and are spaced apart by the thickness of the substrate. A profile in the bottom surface of the substrate changes the substrate's effective stiffness and improves the noise isolation of the substrate compared to the stiffness and noise isolation of the panel without the profile. Additionally, the profile reduces the weight of the panel, thereby reducing manufacturing and installation costs. When the substrate is positioned between the subfloor and the decorative top layer, the material hardness and the flat profile of the upper surface provide a platform with the strength and texture required to allow for installation of the decorative floor layer without the need for an additional rigid backing material. Such a system greatly improves the impact noise reduction on a variety of floor / ceiling systems while keeping the installation cost low and the adding very little to the total system thickness.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for listening to ambient sounds, engage in face-to-face communication, listen to and transmit voice communications, while also protecting the auditory system from hazardous sound pressure levels. Increased gain permits the user to maximize his sound detection ability during “reconnaissance and sentry” activities, thereby increasing the user's ability to detect and localize low level sounds such as, for example, enemy movement or activity. The throughput of the system is linear creating high fidelity of sound until the output level for a particular setting of the final gain reaches the limits established by the power supply. At that point, the output reaches a hard limit. This supply voltage also limits the output to the ear for any instantaneous increase in sound pressure levels. The invention includes barriers to attenuate ambient sounds from entering the ear canal and means for providing sound to the occluded portion of the ear canal. Therefore, hazardous impact noise (e.g., weapons blast, small arms fire, etc.) does not pass through the invention while ambient sounds and conversation are received at a level suitable for the auditory system.

A normally closed electromagnetic valve is closed again after temporarily being opened during an abnormality check of the valve. When the valve is opened, electricity is supplied so that a plunger is moved by a coil but a back face of the plunger does not abut against a receiving face of a fixed portion. Because the plunger does not strike the fixed portion, no impact noise is generated. Also, when the valve is closed, the electricity is not instantly dropped to zero, but is gradually reduced. As a result, impact noise when the valve strikes the valve seat is able to be reduced.

The invention provides an open-close body control apparatus. The open-close body can be thus fully closed reliably and impact noise generated by fully closing the open-close body can be suppressed with no conventional duty control. A motor (9) is driven to rotate in a closing direction in an ordinary region (Zn) other than a full close position immediately ahead region (Zc). An interposition determination unit (2f) determines whether or not interposition occurs while a windowpane (7) is closing.
