专利汇可以提供Audiometer employing narrow-band noise masking专利检索，专利查询，专利分析的服务。并且In the audiometer disclosed herein, a noise signal is employed for masking or preventing reception of a test tone in the ear opposite that which is being tested. The masking noise signal comprises a pair of noise sidebands centered on the test tone frequency with the test tone frequency itself being substantially suppressed. Further, the bandwidth of the noise signal is controlled as a function of the frequency of the test tone so as to substantially correspond with the critical range of masking frequencies.，下面是Audiometer employing narrow-band noise masking专利的具体信息内容。

10. Apparatus as set forth in claim 9 wherein the cutoff frequency of said filter varies substantially in proportion to said test tone frequency.
11. Apparatus as set forth in claim 9 including automatic volume control means for controlling the average amplitude of said noise signal to a substantially preselected level independent of said tone frequency.
12. In an audiometer, apparatus for generating a controlled bandwidth noise signal for selectively masking a test tone, said apparatus comprising: an oscillator for generating an essentially pure tone signal of substantially constant amplitude and of preselectable frequency; a variable-cutoff low pass filter comprising a light variable resistor and a capacitor; a frequency weighting network interconnected with said oscillator for providing from said tone signal an AC signal having an amplitude which varies as a predetermined function of the frequency of said tone signal; means for rectifying said AC signal to provide a DC control signal; a lamp for illuminating said resistor; means for energizing said lamp as a function of said DC control signal thereby to adjust the cutoff of said filter as a function of the test tone frequency; means for generating a broadband noise signal and for applying said noise signal to said filter to obtain from said filter a low frequency noise signal of controlled bandwidth; and means for providing a balanced modulation of said tone signal with said low-frequency noise signal to generate a pair of controlled bandwidth noise sidebands centered on the tone frequency with the tone frequency and the low-frequency noise signal being substantially suppressed.
13. In an audiometer, apparatus for generating a controlled bandwidth noise signal for selectively masking a test tone, said apparatus comprising: an oscillator for generating an essentially pure test tone signal of preselectable frequency; a variable cutoff, low pass filter; means for adjusting the cutoff of said filter as a function of the frequency selected for generation by said oscillator; and means for generating a broadband noise signal and for applying said noise signal to said filter to obtain from said filter a noise signal of controlled bandwidth; and means for providing a modulation of said tone signal with said controlled bandwidth noise signal to generate a pair of controlled bandwidth noise sidebands centered on the tone frequency.
