  • Publication number: 20230298554
    Abstract: Disclosed is a compressible sound attenuation core, having one or more flexible, inflatable chambers, having one or more internal sound baffles. The chamber(s) can have at least one sound attenuation material affixed to a first predominant surface of the inflatable chamber(s). The sound attenuation core can be further framed by a novel extruded frame system that provides, inter-connectivity, support and integrity to form portable, modular sound attenuation panels that can be used to construct a variety of soundproofing devices, including but not limited to, partitions, walls, enclosures, structures, offices, aircraft hangars, and booths.

  • Publication number: 20190035376
    Abstract: Disclosed is a compressible sound attenuation core, having one or more flexible, inflatable chambers, having one or more internal sound baffles. The chamber(s) can have at least one sound attenuation material affixed to a first pre-dominant surface of the inflatable chamber(s). The sound attenuation core can be further framed by a novel extruded frame system that provides, inter-connectivity, support and integrity to form portable, modular sound attenuation panels that can be used to construct a variety of soundproofing devices, including but not limited to, partitions, walls, enclosures, structures, offices, aircraft hangars, and booths.

  • Publication number: 20040225539
    Abstract: A method of generating an itinerary using a computer is provided. The itinerary includes nodes that represent a location serviced by scheduled transport services. A specification including a plurality of nodes is received. The specification may be in a specified order. An itinerary is then determined where a first fare is calculated that omits a node in the plurality of nodes received. A second fare is then calculated that includes the node omitted in the first fare. Thus, an itinerary that includes fares for each of the plurality of nodes is calculated; however, a fare is calculated that does not include a node in the plurality of nodes and thus does not adhere to the specified ordering of the plurality of nodes received.
