Abstract: A method comprises obtaining a virgin asphalt and obtaining an asphalt shingle waste. The asphalt shingle waste comprises 5 wt. % to 40 wt. % of asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt shingle waste. The asphalt shingle waste comprises 60 wt. % to 95 wt. % of limestone, granules, and/or impurities based on the total weight of the asphalt shingle waste. The method comprises obtaining a phase modifier. The method comprises mixing the virgin asphalt, the asphalt shingle waste, and the phase modifier to form an asphalt mixture. The phase modifier is present in an amount of 0.25 wt. % to 25 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture. The asphalt mixture is configured to be applied to a roof substrate to obtain a roofing shingle.

Abstract: An artwork holder with multiple mountings includes a projecting threaded boss having a center axis and a diameter, a first bore through the center axis, and a slot through the diameter adapted to retain the line; a support base having a second bore that is aligned with the first bore; a threaded end cap that threads onto the threaded boss adapted to retain the line on the threaded boss, the end cap having a third bore that is aligned with the first and second bores; and an attachment mechanism adapted to mount the bracket on the surface.

Abstract: A storage facility has a frame having a pair of first and second opposed parallel spaced apart elongated frame elements. The frame members each include means for attaching the frame to a horizontal ceiling. A cable support element is positioned at each end of each frame member. An elongated rotatable shaft has a first end connected to an intermediate location on the first frame member, and a second end connected to an intermediate location on the first frame member. A drive mechanism is connected to the shaft to control the rotational position of the shaft. A number of cable portions each have a first end secured to a respective end portion of the shaft. Each cable portion has an intermediate portion received by a respective cable support member, and a free end extending downwardly from the support member. A platform is connected to and supported by the free ends of the cables, and operates to elevate or lower in response to rotation of the shaft by the drive mechanism.
