Abstract: A barrier for a roadway (e.g., a highway, bridge, or other road), which can be used to manage vehicular traffic, such as to establish lanes, protect motorists and other people (e.g., pedestrians, construction workers, etc.) against crashes or other impacts, and/or other purposes, and which may be configured to enhance its use and performance, such as by better protecting the motorists and others when impacted by vehicles (e.g., reducing deflection by deflecting less or substantially not deflecting and/or otherwise improving protection provided by the barrier), facilitating transportation, installation, removal, and/or transfer of the barrier at the roadway, and/or enhancing other aspects of the barrier. For example, the barrier may be designed for enhanced mobility such that components of the barrier may move relative to one another to allow the barrier to be transferred by a transfer vehicle from one location at the roadway to another rotation at the roadway as the components of the barrier remain connected.

Abstract: The present solar power transfer system comprises a solar cell array, an Electric Field Power Generator (EFPG), and a controller. The solar cell array is adapted for capturing solar energy and transforming the solar energy into solar-sourced Direct Current (DC) electricity. The EFPG is adapted for transmitting electric energy wirelessly to an Electric Field Potential Converter (EFPC). The controller is adapted for receiving the solar-sourced DC electricity and providing the solar-sourced DC electricity to the EFPG for wireless transfer as wireless electric energy.

Abstract: There is provided a reconfigurable furniture assembly having a substantially planar surface member movable about a horizontal axis in an endless manner, a support member holding the substantially planar surface over the ground surface, and a plurality of assigned location around the planar surface member for individuals to occupy and face a portion of the planar surface member. A drive element moves the planar surface member and assigned locations about a horizontal axis.
