  • Patent number: 9151046
    Abstract: A composite automated building construction system, with automated alignment of various truss and wall sections, includes a wall section having frame, an expanded wallboard, and a concrete layer. The wallboard includes an outer portion and inset portion wherein the wallboard is attached to the frame with the outer portion covering an exterior side of the frame and the inset portion is disposed within the frame. The wallboard thus provides exterior and interior insulation for the system. The concrete layer is sprayed on to the outer portion of said wallboard, forming a strong durable composite construction system. A building is constructed with these wall sections by way of a base form template delimiting the boundary of the building. The base forms are installed and then a concrete foundation slab is poured over the base forms. Pre-installed bolts extend above the concrete foundation to providing pre-determined mounting points for the frames for the wall sections.

  • Publication number: 20130097956
    Abstract: A composite building construction system and method comprising a frame, wallboard, and a concrete layer wherein the wallboard is attached to an exterior side of the frame and the concrete layer is provided on the wallboard. A wire grid is attached to and spaced apart from the wallboard to provide support for the concrete layer. The resulting building construction composite provides enhanced strength and stability due to the relatively thick layer of concrete combined with the frame, which may comprise steel. The wallboard comprises blueboard or similar insulating wallboard material that preferably includes concrete adhesion characteristics. The frame comprises outer framing members and cross-members each of which may include apertures for receiving plumbing and/or electrical wires. The apertures may also receive conduits to protect the plumbing and electrical wires. An interior side of the frame is configured to received drywall or other interior housing finishing product.

  • Patent number: 6461284
    Abstract: An exercise apparatus for developing flexibility and strength in the back and abdominals. The apparatus uses a captured ball to support the user's body. The ball is mounted in a receptacle with a substantial portion, of the sphere exposed for contact with the user's body. The sphere has universal movement in the receptacle. In use, the user sits or lies on the ball with their back-in contact with the exposed sphere and their feet on the, floor or a foot rest. The body is exercised by maintaining a point of contact between the ball and the user's back.
