Abstract: A precursor to form an impaling clip, and an impaling clip formed therefrom. The impaling clip is configured for mounting an acoustic panel on a structural component, e.g., a wall stud, of a building. The impaling clip includes a base member from which a pair of prongs project upward perpendicular to the plane of the base member. The base member includes at least one hole for receipt of a fastener, e.g., a screw, to fixedly secure the base member of the clip to the structural component. Each prong includes a leg portion terminating in pointed head and outwardly projecting under-cut barbs configured to pierce through the back surface of the panel to lock the prong within the panel so that it is resistant to removal.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer programs may be used to represent first and second components of a commodity transport network. A first operating characteristic value may correspond to the first component. A critical value may be received. A programmed computer may be used to determine if the first operating characteristic value is at least as great as the critical value. If so, a first representation representing the first component may be displayed. A second representation that represents an operating state of the second component may be displayed. A change in the state may correspond to a change in the first operating characteristic.

Abstract: This invention relates to wall hanging systems in general, and particularly to a new single body device which embodies the seam between two adjacent fabric panels and overcomes the problems inherent in wall hanging systems in use presently for the installation of fabric or acoustical panels.
