Abstract: An interior building structure is provided and comprises a plurality of side walls, each comprising an exterior surface, an interior surface, a bottom end, and a top end opposite the bottom end, the bottom end being connected to a lower base building slab of the base building and the top end being free. A lateral support structure is further provided that extends from a first wall to a second wall of the plurality of side walls. Airspace portions are formed from gaps between the side walls and the base building structure, decoupling the walls of the interior building structure from the base building structure.

Abstract: A method for providing an online social network of radio listeners, the method comprising the steps of providing a database of radio stations; providing a flagging function to allow the users to generate flags to indicate one or more radio stations; providing a flag-cast comprising a continuously updated feed of the flags generated by the users; providing a profile database storing user data associated with each of the users; providing a communications interface allowing the users to communicate user information to the social network provider; providing a monitoring module to track user activities on the social network; providing an activity database to store activity data about the users; providing a flag database to store flag data related to the flags generated by the users; and providing a flag-cast component that limits the flags displayed in the flag-cast by identifying selected flags.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for provisioning a virtual server. An identification of an operating system, a server name, a number of processors, a memory amount, and a disk storage amount may be received, and a virtual server may be provisioned by provisioning a number of processors, an amount of memory, and an amount of storage resources based on the identified number of processors, the identified memory amount, and the identified disk storage amount. Resource usage of the virtual server may be monitored, and additional resources for the virtual server may be provisioned if burst resource usage mode is enabled for the virtual server.

Abstract: This utility patent invention is for a high capacity bridge overhang bracket which utilizes a timber diagonal member and a threaded rod vertical member for maximum geometric adjustability. The hanger assembly for this bracket consists of rotational connection to the body of the bracket and is supported by a single bolt through the bridge girder web. This support consists of an over-sized hole which is slotted above for erection and disassembly over a loosened bolt in order to minimize the time and people involved. The bracket is designed for the use of either a 4×4 or 4×6 timber diagonal members and ½ inch coil rod vertical members.
