A sound wall and a method of constructing the sound wall. The sound wall includes a pair of laterally spaced posts, at least one of the pair of posts including: an elongate central member, a flange extending form the elongate central member in a direction substantially normal to the elongate central member, and a fin extending from the central member. The central member, the flange, and the fin may define a cavity for receiving elongate panels. The sound wall may include a plurality of elongate panels extending between the laterally spaced posts and stacked in an elongate direction of the elongate central member. End regions of the respective elongate panels may be retained between the flange and the fin. The sound wall may include an elongate stiffener member positioned within at least one of the plurality of elongate panels.

The invention relates to a work surface arrangement consisting at least of a standing work surface, a seated work surface, at least one planning board and a movement space having a center as basic elements; said basic elements are arranged at a random angle relative to each other around the movement space and are each arranged at a distance a.sub.1, . . . , a.sub.n around an imaginary center, said distance lying within a radius ranging from about 0.30 m to 2.00 m, measured from a front edge of the basic element to the imaginary center.

A wall module for a modular wall structure integrates a wall panel portion with a post portion having bottom extensions and at least one groove for receiving a distal end portion of a wall panel portion of an adjacent module. The bottom post extension may be suspended in a post hole and anchored with a material such as concrete.

The application relates to a wall element for a noise protection wall, wherein: the wall element has a body and at least one outer face; the body has a support towards the at least one outer face; at least one solar panel is arranged on the support and is connected to the body; the solar panel is inclined relative to a vertical in the direction of an upper face of the wall element; the body has on the at least one outer face at least one sound absorption surface which can be directly reached by incoming sound; the sound absorption surface is inclined at least in some sections relative to the vertical and/or relative to a longitudinal direction of the wall element; the area of the sound absorption surface is at least equal to the area of a visible face of the wall element.

An integrated soundwall and renewable electrical energy generation system includes a series of metal fin tube foundations; a beam secured to each metal fin tube foundation, wherein the beam includes a lower portion extending into the interior of the metal fin tube and secured thereto, and each beam including channel forming elements; a series of solid fence panels inserted between adjacent beams, with each panel received within the channels formed by adjacent beams; and an electrical energy generator, such as a solar panel array, coupled to select beams above the solid fence panels. Inexpensive energy has always been a boon to spur economic development of a region, and the use of ecologically friendly sources is preferable. The design of the system allows for easy construction of parallel fences to multiply the energy generation with such parallel fences enhancing the barrier aspects of the fence system.

The invention relates to a sinter blank (1) for producing a dental prosthesis in at least one sintering process, the sinter blank (1) including at least one product area (2), from which the dental prosthesis is produced, and at least one strut (3) that is to be removed after the sintering process, the strut (3) having at least one sliding knob (4) for supporting the strut (3) on a base surface (5) during the sintering process.

A sound wall and a method of constructing the sound wall. The sound wall includes a pair of laterally spaced posts, at least one of the pair of posts including: an elongate central member, a flange extending form the elongate central member in a direction substantially normal to the elongate central member, and a fin extending from the central member. The central member, the flange, and the fin may define a cavity for receiving elongate panels. The sound wall may include a plurality of elongate panels extending between the laterally spaced posts and stacked in an elongate direction of the elongate central member. End regions of the respective elongate panels may be retained between the flange and the fin. The sound wall may include an elongate stiffener member positioned within at least one of the plurality of elongate panels.

A protection device (5a) for motorcyclists, adapted to be secured to a road safety barrier (1) with a plurality of poles (3) regularly spaced out, the protection device (5a) including a longitudinal beam (6a) and a spacer (7a) extending longitudinally alongside the rear side of at least one part of the beam (6a) and adapted to be secured to the poles, wherein the beam (6a) and the spacer (7a) are assembled together so as to define, in the part of the beam, a longitudinal damping volume (V) with a closed cross-section.

A system, method and program product for developing and deploying a rapidly deployable barrier system. The present disclosure further relates to a rapidly deployable barrier system that provides an expandable set of optional features that may be employed when the rapidly deployable barrier system deployed.

A highway sound barrier system that uses a plurality of foam panels that are joined with an upright member assembly. The foam panels use a foam core and exterior weather protection compounds allowing the system to dramatically reduce transportation, handling and installation costs while increasing the lifecycle of the barrier system and reducing long term maintenance requirements. Moreover, the foam panels include rotatable joints and cable reinforcement allowing the wall to be easily adjusted to facilitate various landscape parameters and provide for rapid construction.
