Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments may enable manufactured modular construction. The various embodiment manufactured modular construction systems, methods, and devices may offer a solution to the housing shortage worldwide that is less than half the cost of the cost of current modular buildings. Various embodiments may include interlocking vertical and horizontal elements. Various embodiments may include a locking system pulling upper horizontal elements of an embodiment modular building toward lower horizontal elements and/or a foundation or a lower floor of the embodiment modular building to thereby lock vertical elements and vertical panels in place between the upper horizontal elements and the lower horizontal elements, foundation, and/or lower floor. In various embodiments, the locking system may include a shock absorber.

Abstract: Anti-ballistic systems and methods for making same are described. The anti-ballistic systems may be formed from various materials arranged in a structure, such as a wall structure. For example, an anti-ballistic system may be formed from a metal material, a polymer material, and a stone material. In some embodiments, the metal material may include aluminum (for example, an aluminum composite panel), the polymer material may include ethylene vinyl acetate, and the stone material may include granite. The anti-ballistic wall systems may be configured to be resistant to ballistics, blasts, and/or forced entry.

Abstract: Long undercut channels, such as a dovetail channel, are cut by electroerosion into a workpiece by a succession of electrodes each operating to provide electroerosion along the whole length of the groove rather than by an electrode passing lengthwise down the groove. The electrodes are successively advanced obliquely into the workpiece, the path of one electrode intersecting that of the other electrode or electrodes, the non-working electrodes being retracted while one of the electrodes is advanced for operation. An arrangement for simultaneously cutting two dovetail channels oppositely located on the inside of a tubular workpiece is illustrated.
