  • Patent number: 10041256
    Abstract: The present subject matter relates to method(s), system(s) and device(s) for cladding of materials, and in particular to an undercut clip anchor system. The system comprises a horizontal rail which mounts both an upper undercut clip and a lower undercut clip for attaching an upper cladding panel and a lower cladding panel, respectively. Serrations on the undercut clips and on a nut bar serrated washer allow for the accurate vertical adjustment of the cladding panels.

  • Patent number: 8365481
    Abstract: It comprises a series of vertical profiles (1, 20, 21) anchored to cogged brackets (3) and previously fixed to the slabs or resistant structure of the building. It also comprises horizontal profiles (15) which are fastened to said vertical profiles and to which retention clamps (27, 28, 29, 32, 33) are connected in the flagstones (24), which have grooves on their horizontal edges. The vertical profile (1, 20, 21) has a frontal ā€œCā€ rail (18) which is fixed to one of the U-shaped parts (16) that interconnect with other parts (17) mounted on a C-rail (19) of the horizontal profile (15). The horizontal profile (15) includes frontal upwards flanges (25, 26) for anchoring clamps (27, 28, 29, 32, 33) with flanges (31) to be inserted in the grooving of the flagstones (24).

  • Patent number: 5925096
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling system resource access to a computer application program in an otherwise synchronous, non-preemptive operating environment. A periodic preemption mechanism (PPM) is used to provide periodic CPU access to a client application. Initially, the client application registers a callback address with the PPM. Subsequently, the PPM periodically initiates a preemptive event, upon which the PPM checks for certain critical conditions. If there are no critical conditions, then the PPM saves critical registers of the CPU, then calls the client application at its callback address. In response, the client application performs its function then returns control to the PPM. The PPM then restores the critical registers of the CPU and returns control to the application that was running when the preemptive event occurred. The PPM behaves in a manner in which the operating system is generally unaware of the preemption.
