NON-VISUAL NOTIFICATIONS FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES

An audio notification system for an autonomous vehicle (AV) determines that the AV is within range of a user and emits a sound though a speaker of the AV to notify that the user that the vehicle has arrived. The audio notification system may include a sensor for sensing that the user has accessed the AV, and turns off the sound in response to the user accessing the AV. The audio notification may be generated according to one or more audio options, e.g., volume, pitch, or audio pattern.

VOICE COIL ACTUATOR AND LOUDSPEAKERS CONTAINING SAME

Voice coil actuators and loudspeakers containing same. The voice coil actuators include moving voice coil assemblies that have multiple segments. Each segment of a moving voice coil assembly is separately controlled by an amplifier, one channel of an amplifier, and combinations thereof utilized in combination with a position sensor that senses the position of the moving voice coil assembly. By this arrangement, the voice coil actuators produce a linear force per unit current throughout the range of motion while obtaining the benefits and advantages associated with both over-hung and under-hung voice coil actuator designs.

The present invention provides a gas adsorbent comprising a number of microspheres formed by agglomeration of zeolite and adhesive. Among the plurality of microspheres, at least some of the microspheres have a porous structure and contain inflatable balls inside. In the present invention, the high molecular polymer expansion ball is added into the zeolite microsphere, and more pore structures are created in the zeolite microsphere by utilizing its characteristics of expansion, solidification and rupture at different temperatures. Thus, the adsorption capacity of the zeolite microsphere to air is increased to achieve a better frequency reduction effect.
