  • Publication number: 20110167669
    Abstract: A system for drying walls includes a panel which has a first portion, a second portion, and a body portion, the body portion joining the first portion and the second portion, the first portion being in contact with a floor and the second portion being in contact with a wall, the panel creating a channel through which air is passed to extract water from the wall. A method of drying lower portions of walls within a water-damaged building includes placing a plurality of panels against the lower portions of walls such that a channel is created along the lower portions of the walls and forcing air along the channel.

  • Patent number: 7734675
    Abstract: A method for processing data includes generating one or more binary results based on one or more inputs and receiving one or more of the binary results. One or more conditional carryout signals may then be generated based on one or more of the binary results. The method also includes communicating one or more of the conditional carryout signals via one or more propagate cells. One or more carryout signals may be generated and received. A sum may then be generated based on the received carryout signals, the sum being communicated to a next destination.
