A noise reduction apparatus can include a frame and multiple spaced apart panels positioned adjacent to each other. Each of the panels or only one of the spaced apart panel elements may have holes therein to receive acoustic waves for absorbing the waves between the panels. The panels can be attached to a frame or other connection structure so that the arrangement of panels can be hung over a work space or positioned in a work space (e.g. in a wall, formed as a partition or wall, included as part of shelving, etc.). The panels can also be incorporated into a light fixture that may hang from a ceiling or be attached to some other type of support (e.g. a table, a base, etc.). The panels can be composed of glass, wood, or other type of material.

A system for reversibly dividing a space is disclosed. A first panel consists of a first vertical member and a first horizontal member attached perpendicular to a bottom end of the first vertical member and extends away from the first vertical member towards a second panel. The second panel consists of a second vertical member and a second horizontal member attached perpendicular to a top end of the second vertical member and extends away from the second vertical member towards the first panel. The first and second panel can be stored in an overhead position. The space is reversibly divided when the first panel and the second panel are lowered. The first panel is lowered such that the first panel forms a top portion of a wall. The second panel is lowered until the second horizontal member rests on the first horizontal member, forming a bottom portion of the wall.

An adhesive surface organizer consists of an adhesive device (such as suction cups or adhesive tape) attached to a solid divider wall material. Once pushed onto a flat non-porous surface (such as a drawer, a countertop or the floor), this product is used to separate and organize different types of smaller objects that are placed on that same flat surface and that may otherwise intermingle. Several adhesive surface organizers may be placed on the same surface to create organizational units that are enclosed on all sides, or to form rows and a grid creating multiple organizational units. For example, one may place four adhesive surface organizers to create a square shape. The user may store different smaller items in these various organizational units. The adhesive surface organizer can be placed on both vertical and horizontal surfaces.

A system for enhancing sound includes a structure defining a first portion of an oblong enclosure that forms an approximated double ellipse profile and positioned between a first area proximate a first speaker driver and a second area proximate the listener, the first portion of the oblong enclosure forming a first part of the approximated double ellipse profile; and a second portion of the oblong enclosure that forms the approximated double ellipse profile and positioned between a third area proximate a second speaker driver and a fourth area proximate the listener, the second portion of the oblong enclosure forming a second part of the approximated double ellipse profile. The first portion and the second portion are shaped such that sound emitted from the first speaker driver and the second speaker driver is reflected and focused toward the listener.

A privacy screen attachment apparatus can include a screen body having a plurality of elongated rungs spaced apart from each other. The rungs can be configured to facilitate releaseable attachment to screen bodies and other structures to allow for an adjustment in the extent to which a visible barrier is provided. Structures that can be connected to the rungs can also permit other functionality (e.g. attachment of a tackable surface, dry erase board, etc.) in addition to adjusting the visible barrier provided by the body of the privacy screen apparatus. A connection mechanism can be provided to facilitate a releasable attachment of such structures to the rungs without requiring use of any mechanical tools. Embodiments of the connection mechanism can be configured to also help prevent accidental disconnection to avoid accidents that could result in damage to the privacy screen apparatus or other objects.

A screen mountable on a chairback of a chair can include a primary panel, a vertical strap, and a brace assembly. The primary panel can have a front and back sides, extend between first and second lateral edges and between top and bottom vertical edges. The vertical strap can be fixed to the front side at first and second ends and extend around the chairback. The vertical strap can be formed to elastically stretch around the chairback. The brace assembly can be fixed to the front side to urge the top vertical edge forward. A second end of the brace assembly can be selectively engageable with the front side at a second position above the first position. The second end can be engaged with the front side in operation and disengaged from the front side when not in operation.
