  • Patent number: 11746530
    Abstract: A building including a roof and a rooftop mechanical unit, the rooftop mechanical unit being supported on top of the roof by at least a first roof curb and a second roof curb, a gap being provided between the roof curbs, each of the roof curbs being less than 15 feet in length; wind can blow snow through the gap and out the other side, which inhibits the buildup of a snowdrift which undesirably increases roof load.

  • Patent number: 4771549
    Abstract: Deviations in flatness on a horizontal surface are measured by running over the surface, at a constant driven speed, an instrument sensitive to slope and which generates a continuous voltage signal corresponding to a continuous slope measurement. The continuous voltage signal is filtered to remove extraneous high frequency voltage signals thereby to produce raw continuous analog slope data which is digitized and calibrated to provide calibrated digital slope data from which other flatness data is computed. Procedures are described for calibrating the instrument and for eliminating or compensating for distortions in the measurements.

  • Patent number: 4583336
    Abstract: Improved connections of preformed concrete construction elements wherein one or more metal pins, of any preferred cross-sectional shape, are cast in place, or grouted, extending into each of two elements to be connected, with an elastic grommet disposed between a portion of each pin, in an area on each pin nearest the joint, and the surrounding concrete or grout, whereby the load transfer capacity of the connection is increased about threefold.
