  • Publication number: 20230011295
    Abstract: An acoustic metamaterial structure acts as a sound reducing filter in that the level of sound that exits the structure is much less than the magnitude of sound that enters the structure. In forming the structure, modular stages of a given geometry are stacked upon one another to create a cell. Each stage of the cell is provided with a nozzle that is acoustically connected to the nozzles of other stages of the cell. The stages have chambers that are positioned radially or laterally outside of the respective nozzles, with the chambers of the cell being acoustically connected to one another. An amalgamation of cells are arranged in an adjacent formation, with chambers of the cells being acoustically connected to one another for purposes of protecting items, components and people from destructive levels of sound. The geometry of the nozzles and chambers are designed for economical additive manufacture with acoustic infills.

  • Patent number: 9151038
    Abstract: An anchor bolt device includes an anchor bolt having a threaded first end and a second end. A flange portion has the threaded first end of the anchor bolt extending freely therefrom. The flange portion defines a planar surface aligned in parallel with a surface of a concrete foundation when the second end of the anchor bolt is received in the concrete foundation. A raised column projection having a threaded portion through which the threaded first end of the anchor bolt is threadably received. The raised column projection is set to a user defined position. The flange portion extends radially outward from and is integrally connected to the raised column projection. The flange portion has at least one offset tab used to position the device a defined distance away from a boundary of a concrete foundation wall. The offset tab includes a series of marks defining multiple break points.
