Abstract: A sound emitting and collecting apparatus that can precisely detect the talker direction based on a collected sound signal even when a sound is emitted from a loudspeaker is provided. Microphone units MU1 to MU8 collect a sound in sound collecting areas MA1 to MA8 formed so as to have rotational symmetry with the placement position of loudspeakers SP1 and SP2 as the center and generates composite signals SA1 to SA8 (hereinafter, SAk). Logarithm calculation sections L1 to L8 calculate logarithm values P k  of power level of the composite signals SAk. An amplification section 11 calculates a power level average value AV from the logarithm values P k  of power levels and a subtraction section subtracts the power level average value AV from the logarithm values P k  of power level to generate differential signal levels D k . A maximum value detection section 12 compares differential signal levels D k  and detects the maximum value. A control section 20 detects the direction of the sound collecting area corresponding to the differential signal level D kM  indicating the maximum value as the talker direction.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a half-bridge LLC resonant converter with self-driven synchronous rectifiers, which utilizes a primary IC controller and a gate driver to drive the secondary synchronous rectifiers. In correspondence with the gate drive output voltages of the primary IC controller to the primary switch transistors, the gate driver for the secondary synchronous rectifiers comprises a differential transformer if the primary IC controller outputs two ground-referenced gate drive voltages, which cannot directly drive the primary switch transistors but can be imposed on the differential transformer; or comprises a DC shifter, a DC restorer and a differential transformer if the primary IC controller outputs two gate-source voltages, which can directly drive the primary switch transistors but cannot be imposed on the differential transformer. The drive voltages of the primary switch transistors are unipolar; however the drive voltage of the secondary synchronous rectifiers can be bipolar or unipolar. Under the valid operation mode, this converter can decrease the rectifier conduction losses to increase the power converter efficiency.
