20130212974 | INTERLOCKING REINFORCEMENT INCLUSIONS USABLE IN ULTRA-HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE AND OTHER APPLICATIONS, IMPROVED UHPC MATERIAL AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A concrete casting method uses a vacuum to remove air from the concrete material, and further involves pouring the cement material over three-dimensional interlocking inclusions before curing. The inclusions may be generally polyhedral structures formed by an annular or disc-shaped central structure that defines a parting plane for an injection mold, and various structures extending transversely to the central annular or disc-shaped structure to form the generally polyhedral shape. Alternatively, the inclusions may be formed by a hub and radial structures, from which extend circumferential structures that define the polyhedral shape. Other inclusion structures take the form of wires or tubes with multiple coils. The inclusions may be used in a variety of concrete structures, including earthquake or tornado proof housing structures, cylindrical supports structures, and armored structure including ships and submarines. | 08-22-2013 |

20080245021 | Rotational apparatus for welding beam-mount structure to the side(s) of a column - Apparatus for precision deploy-attaching beam-mount structure to the outside of an elongate column at plural, defined attachment sites that are distributed and spaced along the length of the column. During use, a column support jig with plural openable/closeable yokes in the apparatus supports a column horizontally for selective rotation about its long axis. A carriage in the apparatus, which holds beam-mount structures to be attached to a supported column, is selectively moveable and position-lockable in defined locations distributed along the supported column between yokes in a pair of spaced yokes to enable precision weld-attaching of the mounts to sides of the column. | 10-09-2008 |
20080289284 | PROCESS CHAMBER AND LOAD-LOCK SPLIT FRAME CONSTRUCTION - The present invention generally relates to a split frame assembly for supporting a chamber in a processing system. In order to adequately fit into the body of an airplane for transport, the frame may be split into two pieces. Once split, each piece may individually be loaded onto the airplane. The upper piece may comprise all of the various components necessary to operate the chamber including gas panels, control panels, or other panels. The lower piece may support the upper piece. | 11-27-2008 |
20080295441 | Flooring System of Sandwich-Like Floor Elements Having a Core of Insulating Material - A flooring system comprises a preformed composite panel having a first sheet ( | 12-04-2008 |
20100307096 | Wheelchair Ramp for Shower Access - A frame for building a ramp provides wheelchair users ingress and egress to a shower area. A first embodiment includes a first flat inclined surface and an arcuate surface. In a second embodiment, the frame has first and second flat inclined surfaces having first and second inclinations, respectively, and an arcuate surface. A third embodiment adds a third flat inclined surface having a third inclination and includes the arcuate surface. A first set of screw mounts is formed adjacent a lowermost end of the frame, a second set of screw mounts is formed in the frame at a predetermined elevation above the first set of screw mounts and a set of stabilizing legs is formed in the arcuate surface at the predetermined elevation. The frame may be cut to lower its profile. | 12-09-2010 |
20140182230 | Assimilated Wall System - This invention creates a superior straw bale wall by the assimilation of light gauge metal framing onto the exterior surface of typical straw bale walls. Production efficiency is increased by using standard straw bale walls constructed in an acceptable manner for that industry, in conjunction with light gauge metal framing material which is a familiar product to construction tradesmen, structural engineers, and building code officials. The increase in efficiency begins with the approval of building permits, to the assembly rates during construction, and on through the processes of plastering, installing drywall, and even to hanging kitchen cabinets long after the walls have been finished and painted. | 07-03-2014 |
20140182231 | METAL STUD WALL TRACK - A metal track used in a stud wall includes a first panel with a ninety degree bend forming a flange thereon, and a second panel with a ninety degree bend forming a flange thereon. The flanges of the first panel and the second panel are positioned on a common plane. An elongated coupling element couples the first panel to the second panel in a parallel spaced apart relationship. The elongated coupling element of the metal track is bent periodically at an angle, so as to alternately contact the first panel and the second panel at regular intervals. An attachment element is provided for attaching the metal track to a surface. | 07-03-2014 |
20140360123 | Fastening System for Connecting Non-Load Bearing Wall to Truss - A fastener assembly for connecting a non-load bearing wall to a truss comprises a fastener with a sleeve retained on the fastener and axially displaceable along the fastener. The fastener has unthreaded shank portion and the sleeve is disposed about the unthreaded shank portion. The sleeve has a length less than the axial length of the unthreaded shank portion. The fastener assembly is employed to form a truss/non-load bearing wall connection system, wherein the non-load bearing wall is disposed below the truss and has a top plate with at least one bore. A fastener assembly is disposed in each bore and threaded into the truss so that a gap is formed between the truss and its top plate. Upon deflection of the truss, one or more fasteners vertically slide axially relative to its associated sleeve. | 12-11-2014 |
20150101277 | ELEMENT MARKING DEVICE - A marking device for marking a truss element of a truss may include a print mechanism arranged to print selected truss information on lumber elements moving on a conveyance system passed the print mechanism, the selected truss information including one of an element identifying truss diagram, a truss plate location, and an intersecting member identifier, a position sensing device configured to sense the position of the lumber relative to the print mechanism, and a computing component, the computing component including a geometry extraction module for extracting the geometry of the element to be marked, an element marking generator for generating print instructions for the selected truss information, a position sensing module for interfacing with the position sensing device to ascertain the position of the lumber element, and a print control module for controlling the print mechanism to print the selected truss information. | 04-16-2015 |

20150345101 | Reinforcement Assemblies, Fixtures, and Methods - Reinforcement assemblies, reinforcement fixtures, methods of constructing a reinforcement assembly, and methods of constructing a reinforcement fixture are described herein. An example embodiment of a reinforcement assembly comprises a plate, a plurality of connectors, and a plurality of elongate members. The plate comprises a plate lengthwise axis, a plate center axis, a plate top surface, a plate bottom surface, and a plate outer surface. Each connector of the plurality of connectors is attached to the plate outer surface and each elongate member of the plurality of elongate members is attached to a connector of the plurality of connectors. | 12-03-2015 |
20160040828 | FOLDED SHEETS OF MATERIAL FOR USE AS A STRUCTURAL MEMBER AND ASSEMBLY THEREOF - Disclosed herein are folded sheets of material for use as a structural member and assembly thereof. According to an aspect, a sheet of material defines one or more tabs, slots, and a plurality of fold lines. The fold lines are spaced such that folding the sheet along the fold lines places the slots in substantial alignment for receiving the at least one tab such that a structural member having a web formed in an interior thereof is formed. | 02-11-2016 |
