  • Patent number: 11952833
    Abstract: Building systems including a frame with a horizontal member from which first and second vertical bars downwardly extend and a panel attached to the frame. The building systems include at least one of an integrated fastener cover that is moveable to a closed position that covers a portion of a fastener, a gusset assembly with a junction cover positioned at a corner junction between two adjacent portions of a panel, and hinge assemblies that reduce the sagging of a panel, such as a door.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 11, 2020

  • Patent number: 11905740
    Abstract: A deadbolt assembly for securing co-mounted doors together and activating at least one deadbolt may include at least a first retention component and a first actuator interface mounted to or defined by a first coupling assembly of a key-side assembly operatively mounted to one of the co-mounted doors, and at least a second retention component and a second actuator interface mounted to or defined by a second coupling assembly of a lever-side assembly operatively mounted to the other of the co-mounted doors, at least one of the key-side assembly and the lever-side assembly including a deadbolt assembly having a deadbolt configured to be responsive to actuation thereof to extend a deadbolt therefrom, wherein actuation of the deadbolt assembly also causes the first and second retention components to secure the first and second coupling assemblies to one another.

  • Publication number: 20210354804
    Abstract: An aircraft designed to provide sustained G forces, with a relatively high steady angle of attack maneuverability using less thrust by balancing thrust and drag to sustain a high turn rate with dual low thrust engines using novel wing and fuselage designs. The aircraft includes a wing oriented laterally relative to the fuselage, at least one horizontal tail surface extending laterally from the fuselage and positioned rearward of the fixed wing, and at least one vertical tail surface extending upward from the fuselage. The first and second engines are mounted to the fuselage at locations positioned vertically below the fixed wing.
