Abstract: A method of manufacturing a backed cross-ply prepreg comprises cutting, using a cutting machine, a first continuous length of a unidirectional prepreg into first prepreg segments, each having an opposing pair of segment cut edges that are non-parallel to a lengthwise direction of the unidirectional prepreg. The method also includes picking up, using a pick-and-place system, the first prepreg segments off of the cutting machine, and placing the first prepreg segments in end-to-end relation onto a conveyor belt of an adhesion machine, and in an orientation such that the segment cut edges are generally parallel to a lengthwise direction of the conveyor belt. The method also includes feeding, using the conveyor belt, the first prepreg segments to an adhesion station of the adhesion machine, and adhering, using the adhesion station, the first prepreg segments to a continuous length of a backing material.

Abstract: A cross-laminated panel or mat can be comprised of a plurality of lumber/wood boards positioned and arranged in layers that alternate in transverse directions with respect to one another (hereinafter defined as a “cross-laminated panel” or a “panel”). The reinforced panel comprises a plurality of dowels specifically machined and sized wherein the plurality of dowels are dipped into and coated with adhesive. The plurality of dowels are further configured to be drilled and inserted into an existing bond line in order to enhance the service life and prevent edge delamination. In addition, a method of reinforcing the structural strength of a mat/panel is provided. The invention disclosed herein further comprises a method of reinforcing the structural strength of a cross-laminated timber mat/panel by infusing and dipping the cross-laminated mat/panel with a preservative or biofriendly pesticide to enhance the service life and prevent rotting and decaying.

Abstract: A manufacturing system includes a cutting machine, an adhesion machine, and a pick-and-place system. The cutting machine sequentially cuts a continuous length of a unidirectional prepreg into prepreg segments. Each prepreg segment has an opposing pair of segment cut edges that are non-parallel to a lengthwise direction of the unidirectional prepreg. The adhesion machine has a conveyor belt and an adhesion station. The pick-and-place system sequentially picks up the prepreg segments from the cutting machine, and places the prepreg segments in end-to-end relation on the conveyor belt, and in an orientation such that the segment cut edges are generally parallel to a lengthwise direction of the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt feeds the prepreg segments to the adhesion station. The adhesion station adheres the prepreg segments to a continuous length of a backing material, thereby resulting in a continuous length of a backed cross-ply prepreg.

Abstract: Detecting multiple people in a room includes detecting a point cloud corresponding to at least one user moving in the room, forming a bounding box corresponding to coordinates of points of the point cloud, and determining if the point cloud corresponds to multiple people based on a size of the point cloud, a presence of separate clusters of points in the point cloud, and/or detecting one or more people entering or leaving the room. Detecting a point cloud may include using a tracking device. The size of the point cloud may be compared with a size of a point cloud corresponding to a single user of the room. Detecting one or more people entering or leaving the room may include previously detecting entrances of the room by tracking movement of people in the room and determining a location where movement results in more or less people in the room.
