Abstract: Described herein is a method of installing a flooring system overlying a subfloor comprising laying a plurality of liners having a grid pattern printed thereon on the subfloor such that longitudinal edge portions of adjacent liners are adjacent or overlapping; and adhering a plurality of tiles to the liners with an adhesive such that the tiles are substantially aligned with the grid pattern, and edges of adjacent tiles substantially abut, whereby some of the tiles overlie the longitudinal edge portions of at least two of the adjacent liners and are adhered thereto.

Abstract: An easy-to-install and remove flooring system comprises three components: 1) a plurality of rolled-out liners, 2) a plurality of tiles, particularly resilient tiles, and 3) an adhesive adhering the tile to the liner. A grid pattern matching the size of the tiles is printed on the liner to enable easy centering and balancing of the tile in the room. The edge portions of adjacent liners are adjacent or overlapped. At least some of the tiles are adhered to two of the liners.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention is a method of managing user authorization levels for access to a plurality of applications. The method includes receiving a request from a user to establish a user profile and establishing an employment indicator for the user. A user authorization level template is obtained in response to the employment indicator. The user authorization level template identifies a plurality of applications and a user authorization level for each application. The user authorization levels are then associated with the user.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for providing support for a suspended ceiling system and movable lighting for a room. The apparatus essentially comprises a ceiling truss having a main beam and at least one standoff connected to and projecting laterally from the main beam. A truss cable is anchored at the ends of the beam and extends over the standoff to form a cable truss configuration for providing support to the beam. The truss cable can be electrified, wherein a lighting fixture may be attached to adjacent cables for illuminating a room below.

Abstract: A corner clip is provided on the edge of a ceiling panel and the end(s) of the clip space the panel from the ceiling runner vertical web. The clip can be a right angle shape having a downwardly projecting portion which fits into a recess in the back of the ceiling panel. The clip can be a disc shape having a downwardly projecting portion which fits into a recess in the back of the ceiling panel.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a transition element for use between an upper ceiling level and a lower ceiling level to form a two-level or multi-level ceiling. The transition element has a configured surface, particularly a curved surface. The transition element is mounted with the top of the curved surface located adjacent the plane of the upper ceiling level and the bottom of the curved surface being located in the plane of the lower ceiling level so that the curved surface forms a transition surface between the two ceiling levels. The transition element is held in position by the ceiling runners used to hold the ceiling boards in position.
