Title: Jerome Peter Smith: Innovator in Signal Processing and Noise Reduction
Introduction
Jerome Peter Smith is a notable inventor based in Blacksburg, VA (US). He has made significant contributions to the fields of signal processing and noise reduction, holding a total of 2 patents. His innovative work has had a lasting impact on technology and engineering.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Method and apparatus for extracting a component signal from a composite signal." This invention discloses an extracting assembly that utilizes a reference sensor to generate a reference signal related to the activity of a component source. A composite sensor senses the composite signal, while an adaptive filter is operatively connected to both sensors to filter the component signal from the composite signal based on the reference signal. Additionally, a normalizer is connected to the adaptive filter to minimize the time required for adaptation.
Another significant patent is focused on "Fan noise reduction from turbofan engines using adaptive." This invention features an array of adaptive or fixed Herschel-Quincke tubes arranged around the inlet of a turbofan engine. The array effectively divides the acoustic energy generated by the engine, allowing one energy component to propagate within the tubes while the other propagates within the engine compartment. This innovative design helps to cancel out the remaining acoustic energy as it travels from the fan towards the inlet and outlet openings.
