Abstract: A soundproofing device; the soundproofing device includes a body and a set of soundproofing sections disposed therein. In some embodiments, a soundproofing system is also disclosed herein and includes a set of soundproofing devices. The soundproofing device and the soundproofing system are useful for easy installation into ductwork of a building to provide substantial soundproofing to the same.

Abstract: System that enables a user to generate a detailed noise complaint with a simple input such as a button click; the system identifies the source of the noise and the authority responsible for monitoring this noise, and it creates a properly formatted complaint and sends it to the responsible authority. Illustrative uses include generation of complaints for noise caused by air traffic, trains, wind turbines, road traffic, or sirens. The user may initiate a complaint using any device such as a mobile phone, a voice-activated system such as Amazon Echo™ or Google Home™, or a dedicated input device. The system may search databases or information feeds to identify the likely source of noise near the user's location. For example, the system may access real-time flight path data to find the airplane closest to the user at the time the user initiates an air noise complaint.

Abstract: This invention provides a flag (1), consisting of a flexible membrane (2), a shaft (3) and distending means comprising rods (4.1) and (4.2). The shaft (3) is hollow and forms a sleeve about a flag staff (7). The flexible membrane (2) has a leading end (5) and a trailing end (6). The leading end (5) is removably attached to the sleeve (3). Each rod (4.1) and (4.2) has a fixing end and a free end. The fixing ends are friction fixed to the sleeve (3) by means of a collar (8) located on the sleeve, and the free ends are retained in pockets (6.1) and (6.2) provided in the trailing end (6). In use, the rods (4.1) and (4.2) exerts a pressure from within the membrane (2), resulting in the distended state of the flag (1) under all weather conditions.
