  • Corrugated steel deck system including acoustic features
    Patent number: 7908810
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sound rated floor system for inhibiting sound transmission between floors. The system includes a corrugated steel deck; a first layer of cementitious material or board or sheet applied over the corrugated steel deck; a sound insulation mat or board applied over the first layer; a second layer of cementitious material applied over the sound insulation mat or board. The floor system has an IIC rating of at least 25 and the corrugated steel deck provides at least 50 percent of the ultimate load carrying capacity under static and impact loading of the floor system with a floor deflection of at most 1/360 of the floor span.

  • System and method for calibrating moisture meters with associated settable slurry products for determining relative dryness
    Patent number: 7154282
    Abstract: A method is provided for calibrating a moisture meter to a particular settable slurry product for determining the relative dryness of the product. The steps of the method include determining the appropriate relative dryness of the particular slurry product, associating a moisture meter reading with the appropriate relative dryness to achieve a meter value, determining the relative spacing of the meter from a conductive surface for obtaining the associated meter value and providing a spacer having the relative spacing for calibrating subsequent meters for measuring the relative dryness of the settable slurry product.
