Publication number: 20230388706Abstract: An electric device includes a sounding body, a sound source storing unit storing actual use sound sources, a correction value storing unit, a sound pressure correction unit, and a control unit. The correction value storing unit stores correction values for correcting the actual use sound sources, respectively, so that respective sound pressures of the actual use sound sources reproduced from the sounding body are brought close to respective target values when the actual use sound sources are reproduced by the sounding body. The sound pressure correction unit obtains corrected actual use sound sources by correcting the actual use sound sources with the corresponding correction values. The control unit synthesizes the corrected actual use sound sources and controls the sounding body to reproduce a synthesized actual use sound source from the sounding body.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Susumu MIYATA, Chikara YAMAMOTO, Yoshiki SHIBATA

Patent number: 11778387Abstract: A sound generator includes a sound generating body, a base, a protection wall, and an erected wall. The sound generating body includes a diaphragm and a driving portion. The base includes a base tubular portion and a partition wall defining a sound hole. The diaphragm and the partition wall divide an inner space of the base tubular portion into a first space and a second space. The protection wall is disposed away from the partition wall and the erected wall connects between the protection wall and the base tubular portion. The protection wall, the erected wall, and the partition wall defines a sound emission space in communication with the first space through the sound hole. The protection wall and the erected wall define an emission hole through which the sound exits.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: DENSO ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventor: Susumu Miyata
