Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for suppression of inter ⁇ ferences of a signal measured from the surface of a solid sub ⁇ stance and to a detector construction applying this method.
  • the invention can be applied to the measuring of a sound signal in, for example, technological and medical research and diagnosis tasks.
  • Active suppression is previously known from many applications in which the purpose is to suppress audible interference, i.e. noise, by producing a counter sound.
  • Detrimental vibration is suppressed by active vibration suppression methods.
  • Efforts have succeeded best in the suppression of so-called unidimen- sional low-frequency (below 300 Hz) sound, which typically travels in, for example, ventilation duct systems (US Patent 2,043,416). Compensation of a two- or three-dimensional sound is more difficult and is usually successful only within a nar ⁇ row frequency range, since the counter sound must be in a phase opposite to that of the original and thus it requires high temporal precision.
  • a useful signal can be obtained by measuring from the body surface or device surface, but simultaneously there arrives an inter ⁇ ference (sound) signal three-dimensionally via the air, and it becomes summated with the signal being measured.
  • the problem is worst when the signal being measured is weak.
  • sensitive detectors such as a microphone which records precisely also changes of ambient air pressure, i.e. the interference signal.
  • the recording of breathing and heart sounds high-grade microphones and only passive noise shield are used.
  • the noise shields used e.g. a hearing protec ⁇ tor in the back wall of which there is installed a rather large-sized microphone, are too sizeable in construction, espe ⁇ cially for measuring performed on a child, but also on the neck of an adult.
  • Microphones even entirely without interference shield are used, in which case the measuring room must be sil ⁇ enced for the duration of the recording.
  • acceleration detectors are used for the measuring of sound, interferences arriving via the air are coupled to the signal to only a small degree.
  • the use of acceleration detectors has, however, more limitations in, for example, medical sound examinations owing to their insensitivity and their frequency range being limited to lower frequencies.
  • the object of the pres ⁇ ent invention is to provide efficient noise suppression for measuring needs in medicine and technology in situations in which, for example, often rather weak signals, e.g. sound sig ⁇ nals, are to be measured in environments having interference and noise.
  • Certain prior-art methods which are to some extent close to that of the invention in their application or imple ⁇ mentation are discussed below as the state of the art.
  • Swedish lay-open print SE-452 946 discloses an arrangement intended for detecting breathing; in its embodiment example, the sound of breathing is measured with one microphone from the front of the human throat, and another microphone is placed to the side of the throat, on the neck, or behind the ear. One signal is subtracted from the other, and as the result an in ⁇ dication that the patient is breathing is obtained.
  • the solu ⁇ tion seems simple, but for a person expert in sound processing technology it is clear that, the microphones being at some distance from each other and no attention having been paid to their shielding, the functioning of the system requires a pre ⁇ liminary processing of the signals, which in the system of the publication includes filtering of low sounds, rectification of the sound signals, and averaging of the signals over a certain period.
  • the result obtained is, in accordance with the object of that invention, a voltage which indicates only breathing, and the actual sound signal is no longer present.
  • the system is not suitable for purposes in which it is desired to purify the original signal from the interference sounds of the environment and to maintain the signal as intact as possible in its orig ⁇ inal waveform.
  • Application publication WO-90/09083 describes a microphone for measuring body sounds.
  • the system is based on a solid and closed chamber inside which there is a mass element suspended from a flexible membrane.
  • the membrane divides the chamber into two sections, from which the sound is directed via two air tubes to two microphones, the signals arriving at the micropho ⁇ nes being su mated by using an electronic bridge circuit.
  • the signal is obtained from the counter vibration of the chamber and the mass inside it, and via opposite pressure variations generated on account of this in the two chambers.
  • the summation of signals from two opposite-phase pressure chambers via two microphones leads not only to noise compensation but also to the compensation of the low-frequency signal.
  • the system is insensitive, since body noise vib ⁇ rations must move the entire shell structure.
  • soft tissue and the detector mass constitute a harmonic vibrator having a resonance frequency.
  • no passive noise shield is used and, for example, the microphone elements are free and thus exposed to interference.
  • the microphone elements should be located close to each other. The publication does not present examples indicating within what frequency range and at what level the suppression of noise is successful.
  • Patent US-4,985,925 discloses an active noise suppression sys ⁇ tem which is designed primarily as an electronically operated hearing protector to be installed in the auditory canal of the ear and for facilitating communication in noisy conditions.
  • the system is made up of an adapter to be installed in the auditory canal and of an electronic hearing protector installed inside the adapter.
  • the frame structure constitutes a passively sup ⁇ pressing shell part inside which there is a bilateral trans ⁇ ducer, which serves as a microphone and an amplifier. In its capacity as a microphone the.transducer-amplifier measures passively-suppressed ambient sound. To this is summated acous ⁇ tically a differential sound, which is obtained when the elec ⁇ tronic signal generated by the microphone is subtracted from the useful signal.
  • the use ⁇ ful signal for example speech
  • frequen ⁇ cies frequen ⁇ cies than are the ambient interferences, for example industrial and traffic noise.
  • the useful signal is pre-filtered and ampli ⁇ fied.
  • the suppression which is weighted to low frequencies, is based on immediate recognition of the mechanical movement of sound pressure and on its compensation by means of an electro ⁇ magnetic counter force obtained by negative feedback.
  • the achieved upper frequency limit of active compensation is approx. 1 kHz.
  • the disclosed compensation works relatively well in the auditory canal, which is a nearly unidimensional space.
  • the patient and the detector end of the stethoscope are, however, in the same room space as the auscultating person and his or her ears, in which case the hearing protectors are not of great use, since the noise is coupled to the signal via the detector end.
  • the principle of the system is that no counter sound is produced; the object is to obtain as pure a signal as possible in interference conditions by acoustically measuring any interferences in identical form with two micro ⁇ phones and by compensating them thereafter electronically at the line level. This can be done successfully only if the de ⁇ tector construction is acoustically correctly constructed and calibrated.
  • the system according to the invention is characterized by the measuring of a useful signal from the surface of a solid sub ⁇ stance by using one microphone and the simultaneous measuring, with two microphones, of the medium (air, other gas, liquid) surrounding the measuring point.
  • the interferences can be elim ⁇ inated from the useful signal by sum ating it with an inverted interference signal.
  • the detector construction includes an efficient passive hearing protector. Inside the protector there are needed two microphones, enabling active interference sup ⁇ pression to be implemented. The distance between the micro- phones is minimal, owing to which a good compensation * level and rather high compensation frequencies are achieved.
  • the microphones are planted tightly in an acoustically good insulation material, in which an acoustic chamber is made in front of each microphone, the chambers being insulated from each other, in which case, in spite of the short distance, the useful signal will not pass into the microphone measuring only interferences.
  • the acoustic chambers are of equal volume, the object being to equalize (same spectrum) the interference sig ⁇ nal coupling to the microphones.
  • the back sides of the micro ⁇ phones are in direct acoustic contact with each other, and thus the mutual distance between the microphones is minimal with respect to an interference signal.
  • the obtaining of the useful signal is promoted by a wide and low and small-volume acoustic chamber, and thus the resonance frequency of the chamber is sufficiently high so that it will not distort the signal being measured.
  • the microphones serve simultaneously both as detectors and as physically insulating plugs.
  • the signals of both microphones can be recorded from their own wires, in which case the compensation can be carried out either electronically by circuit techniques or, for example, by com ⁇ puter, in which the compensation can be further promoted by combining mathematic and signal-processing methods with the processing.
  • the interference suppression method according to the invention for improving the quality of a signal measured from the surface of a solid substance is characterized in what is stated in Claim 1.
  • the detector construction according to the invention is charac ⁇ terized in what is stated in Claim 4.
  • the detector construction can be simple, since no electronic compensation circuits are included.
  • the compensation of the two signals obtained is carried out subsequently, either in real time or later on recorded signals.
  • the essential idea is that the signals are obtained from microphones for further pro ⁇ cessing.
  • the upper limit of compensation is dependent only on the size and mutual distance of the microphone elements and is higher than, for example, in the system of patent US-4,985,925, in which the useful and interference signals are separated from each other in the compensation circuit by filtration, which means a significant modification of the useful signal.
  • the signal is obtained in its original form directly from the surface of a solid substance.
  • the signal source is protected from noise passively when the detector construction is placed physically over the measurement point and is pressed tightly against the surface.
  • Figure 1 depicts one embodiment of the detector construction according to the invention as seen (a) from below, (b) from the side, (c) from above, and (d) from behind, and
  • Figures 2 and 3 depict the results of frequency response meas ⁇ urements made for testing the detector construction of Figure 1.
  • Figure 1 shows an interference-compensating detector construc ⁇ tion which measures from the surface of a solid substance and has been constructed for medical measuring, especially the measuring of breathing sounds, but is also suitable for measur ⁇ ing the sounds of other organs, such as the heart, and for many technical measurements in industry.
  • the capsule size of the microphones 1, 2 used is small, and their mutual distance is short, and therefore the achieved compensation band is wide, ranging from below 50 Hz to over 5000 Hz ( Figures 2 and 3).
  • the construction can be made small, light, and easy to use; for this reason also the battery needed to provide the operating voltage for the microphones is placed at the other end of the wire 11.
  • the detector construction implemented includes an efficient pas ⁇ sively suppressing multiple-layer shell part 8, which is made up of hard and porous layers constructed one inside the other; in the example device there are two pairs of layers. Suppres ⁇ sion is more efficient the greater the number of layers in the construction.
  • the shell part is connected to and the micro ⁇ phones are planted tightly in an acoustically good insulation material 7, in which there is in front of each microphone ele ⁇ ment a chamber 3, 4, the chambers being separate from each other; thus, in spite of the small distance, the useful signal will not pass to the interference microphone.
  • the back sides of the microphones are in direct acoustic contact with each other via a chamber 5, the function of which is to implement the coupling of the interference signal arriving through the pas ⁇ sive shield 7, 8 in identical form to each microphone.
  • the useful signal is obtained through a wide and low, which proper ⁇ ties amplify the signal, and sufficiently small acoustic cham ⁇ ber 3, and therefore the resonance frequency of the chamber is so high that it will not distort the signal.
  • an acoustic chamber 4 In front of the microphone 2 which measures interferences there is an acoustic chamber 4, the function of which is to acoustically equalize the interference signal coupling to the microphones.
  • the cham ⁇ ber 4 is of approximately the same size as the chamber 3 in the situation of use, since the chamber 3 decreases when the con ⁇ struction is pressed against a patient's skin, the skin bulging slightly into the chamber. From the chambers there lead out thin pressure-leveling holes 10, which are located very close to each other on the outer surface. The holes reduce the very low-frequency pressure variations caused by the target of the measuring and improve the compensation result.
  • the interior space containing the components 6 of the pre-amplifiers of the microphones is effectively acousticized with a suppression material 9 to prevent echoes and resonances.
  • active suppression is based on two identical, mutually very closely positioned small-size micro- phones, in the implemented construction two microphones 1 and 2, the signals of which can be combined so that the inter ⁇ ferences in the useful signal are suppressed by the signal obtained via the microphone 2 which measures only interfer ⁇ ences.
  • the function of the multiple-layer, efficient passive noise shield 8 which serves as the shielding shell of the de ⁇ tector construction is to suppress all, but primarily high, frequencies. Passive suppression has an identical effect on the interference signal arriving at each microphone, i.e. even before being subjected to active suppression the disturbances are already passively suppressed.
  • the function of the active suppression is to reduce primarily low interference frequen ⁇ cies, which a passive shield in a small-size construction will not, for physical reasons, affect very effectively.
  • the useful-signal microphone In order that as good a signal as possible should be obtained with the detector construction, the useful-signal microphone must have a good contact with the surface being measured. This contact takes place directly and efficiently via an acoustic chamber 3, when the detector construction is pressed against the surface being measured.
  • the interference signal In order for the compensation to be maximally effective, the interference signal must be coupled in as iden ⁇ tical a form as possible to the two microphones. This is imple ⁇ mented more efficiently the closer the microphones are to each other.
  • the microphones cannot be at exactly the same point, the situation is improved if the acoustic conditions of the microphones, such as the chambers 3 and 4 in front of them, acoustically correspond to each other to a high degree, and the chamber 5 behind them is similar for each microphone.
  • the pressure-leveling holes 10 leading out of the chambers also must be of the same size and length. In order that any external pressure fluctuations entering through the holes arrive simul ⁇ taneously at both microphones, the outlets of the holes must be quite closely located on the outer surface. However, the holes must not join, because then the useful signal would pass, weak ⁇ ened, also to the interference microphone via the ducts 10 and lead to partial compensation of the useful signal.
  • the microphone elements In order that the microphone elements could be placed very close to each other, they must be embedded tightly in a rigid acoustic insulation material, in this construction in the frame 7.
  • the microphone capsules serve, in addition to their prin ⁇ cipal function, as acoustic plugs, since the useful signal arriving via the chamber 3 must not pass behind the micro ⁇ phones, where the connecting chamber 5 connects the microphones closely to each other acoustically.
  • the function of the con ⁇ necting chamber is to cause the interference signal to couple to each microphone in an identical form in order than the com ⁇ pensation result should be as close to zero as possible, so that only the useful signal remain, pure.
  • the chamber 4 of the microphone 2 which measures only interferences does not com ⁇ municate with the acoustic chamber 3 of the useful signal; in between there is a sturdy, effectively insulating wall of the frame material 7.
  • the electronic components 6 required for the pre-amplifiers of the microphones. Any space remaining free is filled with an acoustically suppressing material 9, in order that the level of the interference sounds be maximally low, echo-free and unresonating.
  • the pressure leveling holes 10 let in some pressure variation, i.e. the noise level coupled to the microphone capsules rises, but at the same time the compensa ⁇ tion improves. The effect is strongly dependent on the diameter and length of the holes, and the ratio of these dimensions.
  • Figures 2 and 3 depict results of frequency response measure ⁇ ments made for testing the implemented example detector con ⁇ struction.
  • Figure 2 shows the intensity curves in white noise and a suppression comparison, when the detector construction is tuned to active suppression
  • Figure 3 shows the intensity curves in white noise and a suppression comparison when the detector construction is tuned to passive suppression. It is characteristic of the embodiment example that, during measur ⁇ ing, the detector construction fulfills the curves depicting active and passive suppression, shown in Figures 2 and 3.
  • White noise was produced using a high-quality hifi loudspeaker from a test CD published by the HIFI magazine, and the measure ⁇ ments were made on a frequency band 40-6000 Hz in an ordinary room.
  • the distance between the loudspeaker and the microphone was 25 cm.

  • the curve 'Noise directly' was measured using an open microphone.
  • the 'Useful channel' and the 'Noise channel' were measured in the normal situation of use of the apparatus during background noise, but without the useful signal. By means of the curve, a suppression comparison can be made within the frequency range 50-5000 Hz.

  • the value 207.70 third-octave decibels has been achieved within the presented frequency band 100-5000 Hz, whereas the value measured in the corresponding band in the present invention is 210.35 third-octave decibels.
  • the active suppression changes from the level of the 'Active tuning' curve of Figure 3 to the level of the 'Passive tuning' curve.
  • a comparison between the curves 'Passive tuning' and 'Compensated' in Figure 3 shows that active compensation suppresses an amount of 0-12 dB within the frequency band 100- 2000 Hz.
  • the total effect of the suppression is 120 third- octave decibels.
  • This suppression can be regarded as an ab ⁇ solute improvement which occurred as a result of the active suppression according to the invention, as compared with the level achieved by passive suppression. It is probable that by tuning and developing the invention even a somewhat better suppression result can be achieved.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé d'élimination des interférences et un détecteur conçu pour mesurer un signal depuis la surface d'une substance solide. Le système selon l'invention combine efficacement l'élimination passive et active des interférences. Le détecteur comporte un premier microphone (1) conçu pour mesurer le signal utile et le signal d'interférence, et un autre microphone similaire (2) ne mesurant que le signal d'interférence. Les premier et deuxième microphones (1, 2) sont placés à l'intérieur d'un boîtier de protection (7, 8) qui élimine passivement le signal d'interférence, à une distance commune correspondant à environ 0,1 fois la longueur d'onde de la fréquence maximale à compenser, le signal d'interférence éliminé de manière passive étant couplé à chaque microphone (1, 2) sous une forme pratiquement identique. Des chambres (3, 4) séparées de volume identique sont prévues en face de chaque microphone, les dos des microphones étant en contact acoustique l'un avec l'autre (5), ce qui permet le couplage identique du signal d'interférence aux microphones. D'étroits orifices d'égalisation de pression (10) donnant sur les chambres (3, 4) réduisent les variations de pression à basse pression provoquée par la cible de la mesure. Dans un mode de réalisation simplifié, le signal du deuxième microphone (2) est directement soustrait du signal du premier microphone (1).
