Abstract: An automated drywalling system for cutting applied substrate or coating including a base unit with a platform and a cart configured to move along the ground. An elongated robotic arm coupled to the base unit includes a cutting end effector coupled at the distal end of the robotic arm. The cutting end effector includes a cutting head for cutting applied substrate or coating. A controller obtains wall surface data, generates instructions for at least one cutting task that includes cutting one or more portions of the applied substrate or coating, and drives the system to perform the cutting task. The surface data may be obtained from vision systems, sensors, or predefined parameters. The cutting task may include cutting substrate or coating to create room for mechanical, electrical, or plumbing components, or trimming portions that protrude beyond a plane defined by a framing element.

Abstract: A method of generating a building assembly that includes spraying a coating material onto a plurality of pieces of substrate disposed on a first assembly face. The spraying includes spraying the coating material onto the plurality of pieces of substrate via a sprayer configured to apply the coating material to a target surface via a nozzle coupled with a mobile storage container storing the coating material, the coating material impregnating voids of the substrate. The method also includes allowing the coating material impregnating the voids to dry and harden and become rigid to generate the building assembly.

Abstract: A structural plank assembly formed from: (a) a plurality of structural beams that define an enclosure; (b) a bottom wall; (c) a top wall; and (d) a structural foam filling the enclosure, wherein at least one of the structural beams includes: (i) a top planar member; (ii) a bottom planar member; (iii) a wall member connected to the top and bottom members; (iv) a pair of shelf members; and (v) four angled members, wherein each of the four angled members have sectional knockouts passing therethrough.

Abstract: A transducer fixation apparatus is configured to position and secure to a skin surface of a patient a transducer to allow repeated or continuous monitoring of blood flow in a subsurface vessel. The transducer fixation apparatus includes a housing having a plurality of flexible attachment wings that attach and conform in shape to the skin surface using an adhesive material present on each of the wing undersides. In some embodiments the wings may be biased upward away from the skin surface to facilitate positioning of the fixation apparatus prior to skin attachment. Alternative embodiments include a detachable retainer clip to hold the wings away from the mounting surface during placement as well as an optional positioning wand to aid with placement.

Abstract: Described herein is a method for reducing an ischemia-reperfusion injury in a subject, the method comprising intra-arterially administering a redox active compound that comprises a metal to the subject. Also described herein is a method for increasing the time of viability of an organ awaiting transplantation and/or reducing transplant failure in a subject, the method comprising contacting the organ and a redox active compound that comprises a metal.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an elongated band having a first terminal end, a second terminal end, a top surface, and a bottom surface. A plurality of openings extend through the top surface and the bottom surface of the band. A plurality of moveable vibrating elements are coupled to the band at the plurality of openings. A plurality of moveable covers are also coupled to the band. Each of the covers encloses an internal cavity configured to receive one or more of the moveable vibrating elements. A releasable connection assembly includes a first terminal-end connector coupled to the first terminal end of the band and a second terminal-end connector coupled to the second terminal end of the elongated band. The second terminal-end connector is releasably connectable to the first terminal-end connector.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for processing or treating wastewater. The methods of systems of the present disclosure may perform a treatment process on a wastewater stream including gray water and black water to produce a product stream. The product stream may comprise a potable water stream or a stream of treated water with a reduced concentration of one or more contaminant originally included in the wastewater stream.

Abstract: A machine for rotary driving screw anchors into underlying ground and related. The machine has a mast with a rotary driver and a mandrel driver oriented on a common axis. The mandrel driver passes a mandrel through the rotary driver and the screw anchor to allow the mandrel to be actuated ahead of the screw anchor while the rotary driver drives the screw anchor into the ground. Alternatively, the mandrel driver may also drive a hammering drill through the screw anchor to clear a path ahead of it through subsurface rocks.

Abstract: A foundation system for manufactured homes, prefabricated houses, and other structures. Multiple screw anchors are driven into the ground at the desired location of the structure. Preformed grade bars may be placed over the screw anchors to provide a modular foundation without pouring concrete or digging footers. Alternatively, adapters may be attached to one or more of the driven screw anchors to provide a pedestal to receive the grade bar or prefabricated sections of concrete.
