Business

    Bonnie Schnitta, the founder and president of SoundSense on Newtown Lane in East Hampton, has been awarded a patent for a “sound-focusing mechanism and method of estimating acoustic leakage of an object and method of estimating transmission loss of an object” — in short, the dB focus tube — the International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration has announced.

    The Corcoran Group’s second-quarter real estate market report was recently published and shows numbers are up slightly this year over the same time last year.

    Several pricey deals in Southampton Village and on North Haven increased the quarterly sales figures over last year’s. For example, in Southampton Village the dollar amount was more than double the number from 2010’s second quarter — $127.8 million versus $54.2 million — although there were only two more house sales this quarter as compared to the same quarter last year.

High-End Tag Sale

    East Hampton Studio at 77 Industrial Road in Wainscott will be the site of a high-end tag sale this weekend put on by White Goose Estate Sales. It is to include household contents from a previous high-profile house sale, antiques from dealers, and more. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Amagansett Food Institute, which promotes sustainable food and farming and environmental education on the East End.
