Tunable specular acoustic deck
According to the present invention, an acoustic deck includes a deck member defining a cavity and a movable tunable insert disposed at least partially within the cavity of the deck member. The tunable insert is rotatable or translatable relative to the deck member to alter acoustic effects of the acoustic deck. The acoustic deck can be installed in a room, and the acoustic tunable insert rotated or translated in order to achieve desired acoustic effects in the room. Also disclosed is a system of acoustic decks and a method of operating the acoustic deck.
Popcorn ceiling patch
A popcorn patch article has a flexible substrate with a sticky surface and a facing surface opposite the sticky surface, and an acoustic texture captured on the facing surface of the substrate.
RE-CREATING THE SOUND OF AN AUDIENCE LOCATION AREA FROM A MEASURED PERFORMANCE SPACE IN A LIVE REHEARSAL SPACE
In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a computer-based method for reproducing a performance sound quality in a rehearsal space, the method comprising accessing a computer stored multi-dimensional sound signature for an audience location in a performance space, receiving sound data from a sound input device in the rehearsal space, modifying the sound data to match a sound characteristic of the multi-dimensional sound signature, and transmitting the modified sound data through a sound output device in the rehearsal space.
Various Systems of Sculptural Slats and Methods of Manufacture Thereof
The present disclosure relates to sculptural slats, wherein varying orientations of sculptural slats within a sculptural slat structure may provide a range of one or both decorative or ambient variable impact. For example, sculptural slats may provide transitional states for a window covering, wherein if the covering is in an open position, the sculptural slat structure may provide an ambient variable impact, and wherein the ambient variable impact may change as the orientation of the sculptural slats is adjusted. In some aspects, the present disclosure provides variations on potential designs, smart technology integration, and applications to other types of slattable objects, including, for example, exterior and interior window coverings, architectural panels, dividers, screens; furniture; and automobiles components. Aftermarket solutions to upgrade traditional slatted structures and slattable objects are described, along with manufacturing methods to create customized sculptural slats and sculptural slat structures based on preferences, installation requirements, and slattable object.
POPCORN CEILING PATCH
A popcorn patch article has a flexible substrate with a sticky surface and a facing surface opposite the sticky surface, and an acoustic texture captured on the facing surface of the substrate.
Electronically Controlled Mechanically Adjustable Acoustic Panel System
An acoustic modulation system for a physical space, said system comprising: at least one acoustic panel, each of said at least one acoustic panel movably attached to a frame; a motor for moving said at least one panel relative to said frame, said motor mechanically connected to each of said at least one panels; a programmable controller, said controller operatively connected to said motor, said controller adapted to selectively engage said motor to move at least one panel of said at least one panel.

Asymmetrical building surface baffles and building surface system
The present disclosure relates generally to building surface baffles, for example, suitable for forming a room divider, a wall covering, an acoustical surface, or a ceiling surface. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a baffle for a building surface. The baffle includes an elongate body extending along an axis from a first end to a second end. The elongate body has a depth including a narrow portion that extends away from the axis along a first direction and a wide portion. The wide portion includes first and second projections that extend laterally outward from the first direction. The baffle also includes a first aperture extending into the first end of the elongate body along the axis and a second aperture extending into the second end of the elongate body along the axis.
