A modular dynamic acoustic system for use in connection with an indoor environment includes a movable panel array, a support structure, and a plurality of suspension members. The movable panel array includes a plurality of panel members, each of which including a body defining at least one edge, at least one hinge positioned along the at least one edge, and at least one mounting structure. The panel members are operably coupled with at least one adjacent panel member via the at least one hinge. Each of the plurality of suspension members is operably coupled with the support structure and the at least one mounting structure of one of the plurality of panel members to secure the movable panel array to the support structure. Each of the suspension members is movable to modify a configuration of the movable panel array.

The present invention relates to: a floor tile including a fabric material, and comprising a balancing layer, a noise prevention layer, a functional sheet layer, a fabric material layer, and a surface coating layer; and a manufacturing method thereof and more specifically to a floor tile including a fabric material and a manufacturing method thereof, the floor tile being a functional tile having a natural texture and a three-dimensional effect possessed by the fabric material, having excellent durability, preventing delamination of the fabric material layer, exhibiting excellent mechanical properties such as tensile strength, and enhancing cleaning facilitation.

In the sound insulation apparatus, a sound wave transmitter configured to transmit sound waves with frequencies including the frequencies of propagation sound waves from a sound source and a sound wave receiver configured to receive the sound waves transmitted from the sound wave transmitter are coupled such that the orientation of a sound wave transmission surface of the sound wave transmitter and the orientation of a sound wave receiving surface of the sound wave receiver intersect each other and one pair set is formed. The one pair set is disposed in plurality such that the sound wave transmission surface of one set is spaced from and opposed to the sound wave receiving surface of another set and a space surrounding the sound source is formed. The sound waves transmitted from each of the sound wave transmitters are mixed with the propagation sound waves.

A sound isolation assembly comprising: a center ferrule; a top grommet isolator; a bottom grommet isolator; a spring; and a furring channel engagement portion. The sound isolation assembly is configured to engage with a structure and a furring channel, which itself is connected to a ceiling panel, such that the noise passing from one floor to the other is lessened as compared to a control system that does not use the sound isolation assembly. The spring may be steel and the grommet isolators may be rubber or the like, and the combination of the steel spring and grommet isolators reduces noise.

A sound-absorbing member has a Helmholtz resonance structure including an inlet passage and a hollow portion connected to the outside through the inlet passage, wherein the sound-absorbing member includes a first layer and a second layer disposed on the first layer, the first layer includes a first main surface and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface, the second layer includes a third main surface facing the second main surface and a fourth main surface opposite to the third main surface, the first layer includes a first through-hole penetrating through the second main surface from the first main surface and defining the inlet passage, the second main surface includes a second main surface opening defining an end portion of the first through-hole and a second main surface flat portion, the third main surface includes a third main surface opening defining an end portion of the hollow portion and a third main surface flat portion, the second main surface opening has an opening area smaller than the opening area of the third main surface opening, and a first air layer is formed at least at a portion between the second main surface flat portion and the third main surface flat portion.

Described herein are methods for installing field-assembled flooring systems wherein the underlayment is a hybrid design that includes a combination of structural board and cementitious product. The hybrid design is configured to reduce or eliminate the curing time requirement after pouring the cementitious product (e.g., gypsum concrete). The field-assembled flooring systems can reduce or eliminate the chances of the onset of mold due to high moisture levels by removing the cementitious product from the prone areas and replacing it with structural boards. The structural boards (e.g., cellulose fiberboards) can be installed in non-critical areas such as underneath cabinets, around the perimeter of the floor, under bathtubs, in non-walk-in closets, anywhere drywall reaches the floor, or the like.

An automatic lacing system for an article of footwear includes a motor, a gear train coupled to the motor, a speaker, and a speaker controller in communication with the speaker and the motor. The speaker controller is configured to instruct the speaker to output a damping sound wave in response to activation of the motor to reduce or cancel sound generated by the motor or the gear train.
