Abstract: A ceiling baffle assembly including a panel structure and at least one locking piece. The panel structure is alterable between a flat state and a folded state and forms a ceiling baffle having a top end with one or more insert locations when in the folded state. The locking piece has a top portion, a first side portion extending downwardly from the top portion, and a second side portion extending downwardly from the top portion. The second side portion is spaced from the first side portion. The locking piece may be non-integral with the panel structure. The first and second side portions of the at least one locking piece may be insertable into one of the one or more insert locations to hold the panel structure together in the folded state.

Abstract: A ceiling system comprising a plurality of ceiling tiles each comprising a plurality of felt slats. The plurality of felt slats are arranged parallel to one another and include first and second recesses configured to receive and engage a ceiling hanger system.

Abstract: A locking dynamic high NRC acoustic baffle and/or tile and a locking dynamic high NRC ceiling and/or wall system, that includes a single piece of material folded into locking dynamic high NRC acoustic baffles and/or tiles, using locking pieces and locking mechanisms, to quickly and easily install the locking dynamic high NRC acoustic baffle and/or tile onto construction ceiling hangers or onto walls to provide an aesthetically pleasing image, along with a reduction in unwanted noise or room acoustics.

Abstract: A ceiling system and a ceiling baffle thereof. The ceiling baffle may include a body portion and at least one locking mechanism. The body portion may have a top edge having a recess that is defined by a floor, a first wall extending from the floor to the top edge, and a second wall extending from the floor to the top edge. The at least one locking mechanism may protrude from the floor of the recess along a longitudinal axis and be spaced apart from the first wall by a first gap and from the second wall by a second gap. The at least one locking mechanism may have a first engagement surface that faces the floor of the recess on a first side of the longitudinal axis and a second engagement surface that faces the floor of the recess on a second side of the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: An acoustic curved ceiling baffle and system that incorporates sidewalls with cuts or kerfs to facilitate flexing of the sidewalls so that a desired curvature can be achieved. Curved top and bottom portions are included and assembled with the sidewalls to form an air gap in the curved ceiling baffle.

Abstract: A ceiling baffle assembly including a panel structure and at least one locking piece. The panel structure is alterable between a flat state and a folded state and forms a ceiling baffle having a top end with one or more insert locations when in the folded state. The locking piece has a top portion, a first side portion extending downwardly from the top portion, and a second side portion extending downwardly from the top portion. The second side portion is spaced from the first side portion. The locking piece may be non-integral with the panel structure. The first and second side portions of the at least one locking piece may be insertable into one of the one or more insert locations to hold the panel structure together in the folded state.

Abstract: Techniques include converting an original or source image into a computer image file that uses guide curves to provide for a cutting of that image onto a surface of a material. One or more techniques comprise creating a computer image file based on the source image, such as by pixelating or rasterizing the image. The process may control a CNC cutting machine to cut the surface of the material at different locations, different angles, different depths, and/or different ranges of motion, based on the processing of the computer image file, thereby creating the original image, or a very close replica, on the surface of the material. By deviating the cut lines from each other, the intensity of the image may be varied.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A dynamic acoustic locking ceiling baffle and a dynamic acoustic locking ceiling system, that includes a single piece of material folded into acoustic locking ceiling baffles, using locking pieces and locking mechanisms, to quickly and easily install the acoustic locking ceiling baffle onto construction ceiling hangers to provide an aesthetically pleasing image, along with a reduction in unwanted noise or room acoustics.

Abstract: A ceiling system comprising a ceiling tile comprising a backer panel and a plurality of ceiling components assembled to the backer panel. The plurality of ceiling components include tabs that pass through openings in the backer panel and protrude from a top surface of the backer panel and that are configured to be used to mount the ceiling tile to a ceiling hanger system.
