Virtual type interpretation, interaction and detection

A system that facilitates the development and operation of active sound or vibration control systems, especially for those not skilled in computer programming. The system facilitates the development of developing active sound or vibration control systems implementing an adaptive control model. In particular, the system has a software collection containing control system software that implements an adaptive control model which can be programmed on an electronic controller to actively control sound or vibration. The system also has a user interface that prompts the user to enter information pertaining to the control system being developed so that the electronic controller can implement an adaptive control model in accordance with the information entered by the user.

System for developing and operating an active sound and vibration

An active adaptive control system introduces a control signal from an output transducer (14) to combine with the system input signal (6) and yield a system output signal (8). An error transducer (16) senses the system output signal and provides an error signal (44). An adaptive filter model (40) has a model input from a reference signal (42) correlated to the system input signal, and an output outputting a correction signal (46) to the output transducer to introduce the control signal according to a weight update signal (74) provided by the product (from multiplier 72) of the reference signal and the error signal. Selective leakage of the weight update signal is provided in response to a given condition of a given parameter, preferably output power of the correction signal, to control performance of the model, to selectively degrade same according to need. Leakage is varied by multiplying a previous weight update value by a factor .gamma. and adding the result to the product of the reference signal and error signal, and varying .gamma. as a function of the correction signal.
