Abstract: A soil penetrating plate to position a flexible geothermal conduit loop in spoil is described. The soil penetrating plate has a leading soil penetrating formation which is provided with hook arrangements to hook an end loop portion of a conduit loop. The soil penetrating plate is securable to a force transmitting shaft or cable to displace the soil penetrating plate in soil whereby to position the conduit loop thereinto.

Abstract: A structure system for use in a construction is provided. The structure system has a steel element, a first spiral stirrup, and a second spiral stirrup. The first spiral stirrup forms a plurality of pitches and axially wraps at least a portion of the steel element. The second spiral stirrup is axially disposed on an outer side of the steel element. The second spiral stirrup selectively passes through the pitch and extends into an inner space of the first spiral stirrup. In addition, a plurality of axial reinforcing bars may be entered to serve special needs of structure design.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for receiving and distributing currency. In particular, the present invention provides a novel apparatus for the inflow and outflow of a variety of currency. The systems of the present invention are capable of recycling a variety of currency from multiple countries and multiple denominations. The systems of the present invention have the added advantage of compact size.

Abstract: A reinforcement structure includes multiple steel bars, a primary spiral hoop enclosing the multiple steel bars, wherein joints of the primary spiral hoop and the steel bars are securely combined, multiple secondary spiral hoops, wherein multiple steel bars are inserted into each of the secondary spiral hoops from outside of the primary spiral hoop to inside of the secondary spiral hoop so that joints between the primary spiral hoop and the secondary spiral hoop are formed. A steel bar is sandwiched between the primary spiral hoop and the secondary spiral hoops and joints of the steel bar to the primary spiral hoop and the secondary spiral hoops are securely combined via steel wires. The reinforcement is thus formed by the steel bars, the primary spiral hoop and the secondary spiral hoops.

Abstract: A type of partially prefabricated waffle slabs, for use in building wafer foundry (or other structures) and for the purpose of installing equipment for wafer production. Said partially prefabricated waffle slabs comprise primarily: a main body, having a number of primary holes for air circulation or other mechanical needs. Said main body can have pillar (or column) holes or notched comers for the penetration of major pillars (or columns). Said partially prefabricated waffle slabs have the advantage of meeting the requirements of achieving field safety, reasonable cost, rapid production, transportation needs, easy installation, and simple structural joints and at the same time complying with the specifications of Fab.
