Abstract: A window shade system and method of installing the shade system. The shade system includes first and second shade units and brackets for interconnecting the shade units. The first shade unit includes a first headrail, a roller mounted beneath the first headrail, a first shading material spooled onto the roller, and a device for deploying the first shading material from the roller. The second shade unit includes a second headrail, a second shading material attached to the second head rail, and a device for deploying the second shading material from the second headrail. The brackets secure the headrails together so that, when installed in the window, the first headrail is positioned vertically above and rearward of the second headrail.

Abstract: A rifle has a barrel defining a bore therein. A noise damper is provided adjacent a distal end of the barrel and defines a distal extension of the bore of the barrel. The noise damper includes a housing that is over-molded or over-injected on the barrel, such that the barrel, the noise damper and its housing define an integral assembly.
