Abstract: A modular system for distributing electric power is provided for busway applications. The system includes a plurality of columns. Each of the plurality of columns are spaced apart from one another. The system further includes an electric power distribution system configured to supply electric power. The electric power distribution system is elevated by the plurality of columns and coupled to an electric power source. The system further includes a canopy at least partially enclosing the electric power distribution system. The canopy is structurally supported by the plurality of columns and spanning between adjacent ones of the plurality of columns. The system further includes a plurality of electric vehicle chargers coupled to the plurality of columns. Each of the plurality of electric vehicle chargers are electrically coupled to the electric power distribution system.

Abstract: Prefabricated structural insulated panels (SIPs) and methods thereof. An example SIP comprises an insulative core having a first face, a second face opposite the first face and a plurality of peripheral edge faces extending between the first and second faces. A first cementitious layer may at least partially cover the first face of the insulative core. A first rib may be coupled to and extend at least partially along a first peripheral edge face of the plurality of peripheral edge faces. The rib may comprise a first casing having an open end proximate to the insulative core and an opposing closed end distal to the insulative core. The rib may also comprise a first cementitious material within a cavity defined by the first casing and the first peripheral edge face. The first cementitious material may at least partially couple the first casing to the insulative core.

Abstract: A composite flooring system, and method of manufacture, including a multi-element flooring diaphragm including a plurality of self-spacing surface elements mounted above a semi-rigid substrate surface using a plurality of flexible adhesive support cushions that define an air space between the multi-element flooring diaphragm and the semi-rigid substrate surface, wherein outer edge surfaces of the self-spacing surface elements are beveled and flexible surface joints of v-shaped cross-section formed between abutting self-spacing surface elements, and wherein the combination of rigid or semi-rigid self-spacing surface elements and the flexible surface joints form a substantially waterproof diaphragm as a finished surface.

Abstract: A modular substrate system for use in the support of a flooring surface including a plurality of elongate substrate members which can be rapidly assembled to provide a semi-rigid support surface for a floor. Various flooring elements can be adhered to the semi-rigid support surface using an adhesive to, in cooperation with the modular substrate system, provide an enhanced composite rigidity to the assembled floor. The substrate member itself includes an upper surface, side surfaces, and lateral flange portions, the lateral flange portions of the substrate members maintain adjacent substrate members in parallel spaced apart relationship to each other defining substrate channels therebetween. The substrate channels strengthen the assembled modular substrate system and provide routes of egress for water from below the flooring surface disposed thereon.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing and installing a textured cementitious tile flooring product, wherein sodium bicarbonate is used to texture the tile surface and a polyurethane caulking material provides flexible joints between tiles.

Abstract: A metal-stone floor or wall covering, more particularly a “hard surface” floor covering is created in plant by stamping large panels from sheet metal with an interlocking reversing notched edge. This allows each large panel to lock into additional panel sufficient to cover a floor area, whereupon the sheet metal in plant is covered with cross linking polymer cement mixed with crushed powdered stone and the resulting slurry is applied over the surface of the sheet metal in a thin layer and allowed to harden. Grout line grooves are carved into the mixed overlay and filled with a latex grout which is then allowed to harden after which, the tile is colorized, and then sealed with a clear coat, dried and shipped to site for bonding in place by beads of a foamed adhesive which allow some flexing of the floor as an integral structure.
