Publication number: 20230258006Abstract: A sill plate anchorage assembly for supporting prefabricated building walls includes an elongated member having spaced holes. A concrete formwork defines a space for receiving concrete to form a foundation to support the elongated member. The elongated member may be supported temporarily from the formwork. Anchor shafts extend within each of the spaced holes and extend below the elongated member into the space defined by the concrete formwork. After forming and curing the concrete, nuts or other fasteners are tightened over the upper ends of the anchor shafts to secure the elongated member against the foundation. The upper portions of the spaced holes may include enlarged recesses for receiving the fasteners. Indicia marked upon the elongated member may show the location and type of pass-through regions. A method to secure a horizontal sill plate to an underlying concrete foundation to support vertical building wall panels is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Applicant: Project Frog, Inc.Inventor: Matthew V.

Publication number: 20100088970Abstract: A multifunctional panel for a building comprises an insulative body, an exterior surface, and an interior surface. A sensor is provided to measure an interior condition in the interior of the building and an exterior condition in the exterior of the building, and generate a sensor signal in response to the difference between the measured interior and exterior conditions. A signal coupler can transmit the sensor signal to other multifunctional panels, receive an input signal from another multifunctional panel, or pass power to power a device in or about the insulative body.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2009Publication date: April 15, 2010Applicant: PROJECT FROG, INC.Inventor: Mark MILLER

Publication number: 20100031586Abstract: A roof joist for a roof section of a modular building having an interior ceiling with a length, having an upper chord, central chord, and lower chord. The lower chord comprises: (i) a top chord segment joined to, and parallel with, the central chord; (ii) a pair of sidewall chord segments that oppose one another and extend parallel to the top chord segment; and (iii) a pair of outer flanges that extend outwardly from the sidewall chord segments to support the interior ceiling. A pair of inner flanges can also extend inwardly from the sidewall chord segments to support fixtures in the interior of the building.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2009Publication date: February 11, 2010Applicant: Project FROG, Inc.Inventor: Mark Miller
