Here's how: ▫ 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - The seals are retracted during system movement. Upon reaching the lower limit during Skyfold's descent, the end seals automatically deploy. When raising the Skyfold system, the end seals retract before the system ascends. ▫ 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 - The end seals provide operational clearance during panel movement and can seal against various wall conditions. This design minimizes gaps and prevents sound leakage, ensuring exceptional noise reduction and privacy. ▫ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 - The seals set themselves the same way every time, ensuring reliable acoustic separation and maintaining effectiveness year after year. Imagine turning a noisy, open space into a peaceful, focused environment in under two minutes, thanks to Skyfold's innovative design and end seals. It’s more than just dividing space—it’s about creating an ideal setting for productivity and privacy. Curious to learn more? Like, share, and follow for the latest insights into how Skyfold is revolutionizing acoustic design and flexible spaces. Let’s make some noise about the power of silence! #Skyfold #AcousticExcellence #SpaceInnovation #DidYouKnow

CASE STUDY: Llandovery RFC Following a successful planning application and the award of funding towards a new 3G sports facility at Church Bank Playing Fields, Llandovery RFC's committee wanted to visualise their new facility to present at their clubhouse, and encourage further support. We provided concept stage designs and visualisations, which has helped the committee, members, and the general public to view the facility as it will look following the development.

Loving these! Yes Alisse are super attractive, but we love Lutron Europe Palladiom keypads because they strike a superb balance between function and form. The super clear, backlit etching means no training required, no confusion about what the buttons do, and you can see the labels from any angle at any height. Colour match with a discreet sensor for our BMS system and you have a perfect control solution for every aspect of the space. Imperium Building Systems Limited not just a BMS company. 💚 #audiovisual #avintegration #lutron #lightingcontrols #shading #smarthome #homeautomation #residentialdevelopment #interiordesign

📢 We are pleased to announce the release of the #GALAAD project concept image, a fundamental visual representation that captures the essence of the innovative solution GALAAD aims to offer. 📐 📏 The creation process of this concept image was highly #collaborative, involving the entire consortium in every stage of the development. From a preliminary interactive workshop to continuous feedback loops among the project's partners, the team worked seamlessly together. Technical leaders provided significant help and feedback to the Dissemination, Visuals and Graphic Design team at Deep Blue, leader of the project communication, dissemination and exploitation activities. This synergy was crucial in creating a comprehensive and effective concept image. 🔎 The GALAAD concept proposes the activation or deactivation of #PBN route structures, such as trombones or point merges, based on factors such as time of day for noise control or traffic demand. This approach aims to avoid the use of complex route structures during periods of low demand, enabling agile responses to changes in operational conditions within the terminal area, such as traffic density, airspace availability, or environmental constraints.  💬 “Trying to represent both horizontal and vertical spaces, plus adding details like the city buildings and the different systems used in the project (zoom-ins), was just the starting point.” states Virginia Procopio, graphic designer at Deep Blue, “The main issue was to have a clear distinction between the GALAAD and the NON-GALAAD trajectory, representing it on a three dimensional plane in a two dimension format.” ➡ We invite you to explore this visual representation by clicking the post below.

We don't have to confine #CTPcraft design just to 'saucers' or disk hull shapes. Rough render for a CTP Space Yacht™. (https://lnkd.in/eX_xFKJN) (Likely would remove center seam 'window') Actual hull design will vary to better accommodate the CTP Propulsion Systems that will be installed. However, in short, would be a good 'concept' render. These could arrive within a decade to 15 or so pending. Smaller CTP sport/recon/exploration craft builds and models have to come first. #newscience #newspace #newspaceeconomy #graviticpropulsion #CTPSpace #deeptechstartup #spacecapital #futurecapital #futureindustry #futurespace

Applied learning at its best!

✨ Throwback Thursday! 🗓📸 When it comes to Direct Field Acoustic Testing (DFAT), there aren’t many earth-shattering revelations. Instead, we’ve been perfecting the art and science of #DFAT since we pioneered it back in the '90s. This snapshot is taken from some of our first systems way back in 2010, a time when #DFAT was considered "cool" and "new." 😉 Our customers appreciate our modular speaker designs because they can customize their test setups to meet specific technical specifications and requirements. Each test is unique; no two acoustic experiments are exactly the same! So, how can a single acoustic test system meet all the possible combinations of unique requirements? It cannot. We call that adaptability "personalization." It’s like getting a perfectly tailored Italian suit. Off-the-rack suits might suffice, but they lack that perfect fit. And "one-size-fits-all" solutions? They often fall short too. Our low-frequency cabinets are intentionally separate from our mid-high and ultra-high frequency cabinets, by design. While we could, in theory, combine everything into a single cabinet unit, we’ve so far found that separating them allows us to better tailor the setup to meet the unique needs of our customers. It’s not flashy or new—it’s simply what works! With over 200 successful qualifications and counting, our results speak for themselves. 🚀🚀🚀 . . . #AcousticTesting #DFAT #AcousticQualificationTesting #RocketLaunch #Payload #Spacecraft #Satellite #SkunkWorks #ExperimentalTesting #Experiments #Science #Acoustics #Vibration #TestEngineering #NVH #Vibroacoustics #DirectFieldAcousticTest #Space #SpaceIndustry #MechnicalEngineering #AerospaceEngineering #AcousticEngineering #AudioEngineering #AdAstra #ToTheMoon #Moonshot

PEDESTRIANS NEED SAFER CROSSWALKS Our Crosswalk Optics improve pedestrian detection via enhanced contrast and vertical illumination. What’s more, choose any luminaire style that uses our Orion light engine and effortlessly match pedestrian and traffic luminaires. https://lnkd.in/dGmrVjxE

#26 PA8000TT. The World's first twin telescopic Power Arm Continuing our series of Power Arm initiatives from the past 75-years of McConnel history, is the PA8000TT. When the PA8000TT Power Arm hit the market in 2002, it was the world's first twin telescopic Power Arm. With a reach of 8.0m, this innovative design allowed for a compact arm geometry while offering the ability to extend to 8.0m on demand. The twin telescopic dipper arm set a new benchmark, especially useful for maintaining banks along waterways and rivers. The PA8000TT showcased McConnel's commitment to pushing boundaries and providing users with unprecedented reach and versatility. #McConnel #PowerArm #75years #Innovation #Heritage #BuiltInBritain #BuiltWithPride #HomeOfThePowerArm #Ludlow

T.O.A.D. uniform for Space Scavenger! Space Scavenger concept art. Personal project. In a near future space Space Scavengers will be very useful to retrieve functional parts from destroyed spaceships. Their suit features realistic tools that use physics to aid their work. A grounded look to the result of space warfare. #spaceart #conceptart #concept #technicalart #design #functionaldesign #openforwork #conceptdesign
