Abstract: A smart roof system and method comprising cementitious sheathing sheets for a roof cover that can be installed directly onto the wood roof sheathing of a structure or home. Said cementitious sheathing sheets are laid over wood roof sheathing directly with permanent adhesive. An aluminum expansion joint is installed to serve as an expansion joint between said cementitious sheathing sheets and to provide support for solar panels. Aluminum expansion joints have a lower lip and an upper lip, a lower lip of the aluminum expansion joints serves to support cementitious sheathing sheets over the lower lip with adhesive and create a joint directly over the wood roof sheathing. The cementitious sheathing sheets are laid on the wood roof sheathing with an adhesive designed to adhere in a permanent manner to the cementitious sheathing sheets.

Abstract: A coat including a torso portion defining a torso cavity and including pair of portions that are releasably connectable together. The coat further includes a skirt positioned in the torso cavity. The coat is configured such that when the coat is worn by a wearer and the portions are releasably connected together the skirt generally sealingly engages the wearer. The coat is further configured such that the skirt automatically generally sealingly engages the wearer when the coat is worn by the wearer and the portions are releasably connected without requiring any further action by the wearer.

Abstract: A vapor resistant closure including a closure mechanism, for example, a zipper having a start end in an inner portion of material and a stop end in an outer portion of material with the outer portion containing the stop end overlapping the inner portion containing the start end. The closure mechanism forming a seal between the outer portion containing the stop end and the inner portion containing the start end when the closure mechanism is closed at the stop end. The seal that is formed is generally impermeable to fluids, gases, vapors, aerosols and particulates. The vapor resistant closure may also include a compressible body between the outer portion of material containing the stop end and the inner portion of material containing the start end. The compressible body is compressed therebetween when the closure mechanism is closed at the stop end.

Abstract: Chemical and/or biochemical resistant protective garments are disclosed that include a top part having a body portion and sleeves, the body portion having a vapor skirt that is self-tightenable towards the torso of a wearer, and a bottom part having a fold-over waistband extension, a waistband, a seat portion, and left and right leg portions, the fold-over waistband extension being foldable over the waistband to reveal a backside of the fold-over waistband extension when the bottom part is worn by the wearer. When the top and bottom parts are worn by the wearer, the vapor skirt is positioned against the backside of the fold-over waistband and is self-tightened thereagainst as a seal that is generally impermeable to gases.

Abstract: A hinge locking system comprising: (a) a first component; (b) a second component relating to the first component; (c) at least one hinge system pivotally coupling the first and second components together, such that at least one of the first and second components is rotatable between a starting and ending or an open and closed position; and (d) means for locking the hinge system, wherein the means may be selectively actuated to support the first and second components in one of a plurality of desired positions relative to one another and anywhere within their range of motion. In an exemplary embodiment, means for locking comprises a ratchet system, such as a ratchet clutch that provides one or two-way locking of the hinge system.

Abstract: A flexible body portion covering substantially all of the face below the eyes of a wearer has nose and mouth openings. A flexible skirt affixed to the outer surface of the body portion along a seam which encompasses the nose and mouth openings and also at the tack points forms an air duct which directs expelled air and downwardly. In-turned flaps at the nose opening provide a seal around the wearer's nose. A stiff yet malleable arch affixed to the outer surface of the skirt prevent the mask from resting upon or rubbing against the wearer's nose. Broad lateral cheek rises provide vertical support.
