Abstract: A system is described that assembles a floor for a manufactured building in a continuous fashion. Unlike current methods in which framing and decking members are carried manually along a jig or table to the point of installation, the system includes an automated conveyance apparatus that moves material through various stations where floor components are assembled at a continuous preprogrammed rate. Key aspects of the system include continuous assembly, automated material conveyance, automated gang nailing, and automated part location marking.

Abstract: A gunshot detection system utilizes an ultrasonic transducer for detecting a blast wave resulting from a gunshot. The system may be linked to alert systems configured for notifying emergency response personnel to the occurrence and location of a gunshot, thereby enabling a rapid response to an active shooter situation.
