A dynamic environmentally actuated ceiling baffle and system that incorporates sidewalls with cuts or kerfs, top and bottom portions and sensors to automatically, programmatically and manually properly configure the ceiling baffle for optimal noise reduction based on the environment or the needs of the user, and that can be quickly and easily installed onto ceiling structures using integrated locks, cables or magnets, to produce a dynamic environmentally actuated ceiling baffle system, and to provide an aesthetically pleasing image, along with a reduction in unwanted noise and/or room acoustics, using the programmed or manual actuation to tune the ceiling baffle to respond appropriately to the acoustic need.

An acoustic ceiling tile and a dynamic acoustic ceiling system that includes multiple ceiling tiles that can be quickly and easily installed onto ceiling structures utilizing attached or embedded magnetic assemblies to provide an aesthetically pleasing image, such as an fluctuating image, along with a reduction in unwanted noise or room acoustics, wherein the attached or embedded magnetic assemblies are configured to be removed from the ceiling tile, and then configured to be easily placed or located onto a different location on the ceiling tile as needed, to allow for optimal installation of the ceiling tile onto the ceiling structure.

A ceiling structure includes a suspended framework having a plurality of main runners and a plurality of cross runners interconnected to define an array of tile receiving openings, each of the plurality of main runners and the plurality of cross runners including a tile mating surface facing downward to define a mounting frame at each respective tile receiving opening, and a plurality of ceiling tiles positioned within the array of tile receiving openings, each of the plurality of ceiling tiles having a main body. The main body of the ceiling tile includes a base having a periphery, a plurality of magnets positioned at the periphery and sized and shaped to magnetically couple the ceiling tile within a respective one of the tile receiving openings, and a plurality of baffles coupled to the base, each baffle being spaced apart from the other. Related methods, systems, and ceiling tiles are also provided.

Provided is an adjustable magnetic coupler 10 for operatively and removably attaching cladding 20 to a ferromagnetic surface 12.5, the coupler 10 including a first body 12 including a first magnetised element 12.3 for attaching to the ferromagnetic surface 12.5, the first body 12 operatively associated with a second body 14 which includes a second magnetised element 14.4 configured for magnetically attaching to an article of cladding 20 to be attached to the ferromagnetic surface 12.5 via the coupler 10. Also included is an adjustor 16 for selectively adjusting the distance between the first and second elements to adjust a separation between said cladding and the ferromagnetic surface.

An apparatus for removably applying insulative material to magnetic surfaces includes a sheet of insulative material. In some embodiments, snap fasteners are affixed thereto and, in some embodiments, magnets are directly affixed to the insulative material using adhesive. In embodiments using snap fasteners, each snap fastener has an eyelet and a socket such that a shaft of the eyelet passes through the sheet of insulative material and is held in an orifice of the socket. The socket has a cup-shaped area on a side that is opposite to the orifice. There are magnets, each of which is affixed to the cup-shaped area of the socket such that the sheet of insulative material is then removably attached to a magnetic material by the magnets.
