A 3D printer has a casing, a nozzle for printing, an extruder, a heating element, and a print bed. The casing encloses a region above and around the print bed to form a printing zone. Further, the 3D printer has features adapted for low-noise operation, and is already suitably quiet enough for use in a low-noise environment because it does not generate loud sounds. Specifically, in a quiet office with 37-38 dB of noise, noise emissions were measured while the present invention constructed a 3D printed model, and at six inches from the extruder on the 3D printer, the noise emissions measured 39-58 dB, at three feet away measured 38-43 dB, and at six feet away measured around 37-40 dB.

Rotor blades for wind power installations are known in many different forms. In a wind power installation the rotors or the rotor blades thereof represent the main source of sound. For reasons relating to acceptance and noise prevention laws, the aim should/must be that of minimizing the levels of sound emission as wind power installations are often also set up in the proximity of residential accommodation. The levels of sound emission which hitherto occur with a wind power installation or a wind power converter also mean that wind power installations are faced with resistance from populated areas because of the sound they produce and for that reason such installations can be accepted sometimes with difficulty or not at all as authorities responsible for planning permission refuse permission for wind power installations because of the existing environmental requirements, noise also being an environmentally polluting factor. Therefore the object of the invention is further to improve the noise emission of wind power installations. Wind power installation rotor blade comprising means for reducing the sound produced by a rotor blade, wherein the means is formed by a fluid-repellent layer and/or surface which is provided at least on a surface portion of the rotor blade.

A system for reducing jet noise emission from an internally mixed gas turbine engine exhaust, comprising a fan/core flow mixer having a plurality of mixer lobes and a common flow nozzle having an equal number of tabs located along a circumferential edge of an aft end of the nozzle. There is a predetermined clocking relationship between the plurality of mixer lobes and the plurality of nozzle tabs that results in reduced exhaust noise emission, most evident in the lower frequency range. A method for reducing jet noise emission from an internally mixed gas turbine engine exhaust comprises selectively aligning a circumferential distribution of a mixed flow vorticity field produced by a fan/core mixer with a circumferentially distributed exhaust flow vorticity field produced by a modified common flow nozzle at an exit plane of the engine exhaust.

A stator or rotor of an electric motor or generator comprises a core formed of ferromagnetic material having a plurality of teeth arranged circumferentially about an axis. In one aspect of the invention, at least one retaining member connects the end portions of at least two of the teeth to each other in a manner inhibiting relative movement between said tooth end portions. By inhibiting relative movement between said tooth end portions, vibration is reduced. Vibration can also be reduced by welding interior surfaces of a core to each other. Reducing the vibration reduces the noise emissions of the rotor or stator during operation.

Problems of noise emission during transmission in successive time slots (A-B) in mobile telephony are solved by causing the transmitted power to change in a monotonic manner from a previous value to a new value. It is shown that this increases the transmission bit rate.

An apparatus and a method for active reduction of the noise emission from a jet engine having an air inlet, a gas outlet and an engine arranged between the air inlet and the gas outlet. A first acoustic transducer is arranged in the air inlet upstream of the engine and/or in the gas outlet downstream of the engine in order to convert sound waves into first signals that are a measure of the frequency, amplitude and phase of the sound waves. An electronic control unit converts the first signals into second signals. A second acoustic transducer is centrally arranged in the air inlet upstream of the engine and/or in the gas outlet downstream of the engine in order to convert the second signals into compensation sound waves whose frequency, amplitude and phase are such that the sound waves and the compensation sound waves at least partially cancel one another out.

As air passes through the airflow channels (46) between the blades (10) of a compressor impeller, boundary layers build up on the blade (10) surfaces. These low momentum masses of air are considered a blockage and loss generators. Ultimately, the boundary layer on the suction side of the blade (20) will separate, causing stall and reversed flow. Reversed flow will occur until a stable pressure ratio with positive volume flow rate is reached. When the pressure ratio becomes unstable again, the cycle will repeat. Introducing a slit (12) or a series of perforations (28) on the compressor wheel blade (10) allows the air to communicate between the pressure side (18) and the suction side (20) of the blade, which allows the boundary layer to stay attached longer. The invention allows for various shapes, positions, lengths and widths, locations, and arrangements of either a slit (12) or a series of perforations (28) on the compressor blade (10) in order to accomplish the objectives of delaying surge conditions by prolonging the boundary layer adherence to the suction side (20) of the compressor blade (10) and of maintaining a low level of noise emission, ease of manufacturing, and structural integrity.
