Prediction and optimisation of the acoustic performance of mufflers for sleep apnea devices

ResMed在开发治疗阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)产品的技术方面处于世界领先地位。ResMed提供了第一个成功的非侵入性治疗OSA的睡眠呼吸暂停设备。降噪是该产品开发中的一个重要问题，因为这些设备在床头柜上运行。该项目将使这些形状不规则的小型消声器的声学性能能够得到可靠的预测和优化。成功的结果将提高用户的福祉质量。这项研究对机车和渡轮等更广泛应用的消声器的设计也有一定的指导意义。

ResMed is a world leader in the technology of developing products for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). ResMed provided the first successful non-invasive treatment of OSA with their sleep apnea device. Noise reduction is an important issue in the development of this product, since these devices operate on a bedside table. This project will enable the acoustic performance of these small irregularly shaped mufflers to be reliably predicted and optimised. The successful outcomes will improve the quality of the well-being of the user. This research also has relevance to the design of mufflers for use in broader applications such as locomotives and ferries.
