Abstract: A prefabricated mobile structure (e.g., substantially in the shape of a rectangular prism) that is substantially shorter than a standard 20-foot shipping container. The mobile structure includes an extension member extending outwardly from each respective upper corner of the structure substantially parallel to the structure's primary axis. Each extension member comprises an attachment point that is adapted to connect with a support portion of a spreader configured to engage with corner fittings of a standard 20-foot freight container. The respective extension members effectively extend the length of the attachment profile of the mobile structure while maintaining a shorter primary body portion. This may allow the prefabricated mobile structure to, for example, be lifted by a lifting device, such as a spreader, that is adapted for lifting a standard 20-foot shipping container while the prefabricated mobile structure's body remains compact enough to be loaded onto a CROP sled for transport.

Abstract: A temporary wall system for use in temporarily converting a shipping container, such as a standard or high-cube intermodal container, into a living space or workspace, the shipping container having a substantially rectangular access opening having a perimeter, wherein the wall system comprises a wall having exterior dimensions suitable to allow the perimeter of the wall to at least substantially mate with the perimeter of the container's access opening, wherein the wall defines an access opening that is sized to allow an adult human to pass from one side of the wall to the other through the access opening, and the wall comprises a door that is mounted so that the door can be selectively moved between an open and a closed position; and a power hookup for powering one or more accessories supported by the wall.

Abstract: A modular facility formation system includes any number of modules that may be coupled to one another to create a facility. Walls of the facility may be provided by one or more removeable walls, the walls of a shipping container, or a combination thereof. When installed within a shipping container, upper and lower braces are pressure fit into the shipping container without penetrating the container. The lower braces are configured to engage guidance mechanisms of the modules to guide the modules into a stowage position within the shipping container and to secure the modules in place. The modules may be configured with a pre-determined internal configuration corresponding to a defined function of the room within the facility.

Abstract: A multipurpose relocatable structure according to various embodiments comprises: (1) a floor system; (2) a framework secured adjacent the floor system, the framework comprising: (a) a plurality of corner posts, (b) a pair of upper end posts, and (c) a pair of upper side posts; (3) a ceiling pan secured adjacent the framework; (4) a plurality of walls secured adjacent the framework; and (5) a door comprising an access hole and a hatch disposed adjacent the access hole to selectively prevent passage of a person through the access hole.

Abstract: A multipurpose relocatable structure includes a floor system, a framework secured to the floor system, and walls coupled to the framework. The walls include a number of panels that are secured along adjacent vertical edges. The multipurpose relocatable structure may include a preconfigured interior, one or more doors having an emergency escape hatch, a protected electrical connector, an environmental control system that is configurable between operational and transport configurations, and lifting corners having securement apertures.

Abstract: A cargo securement system for securing cargo in a container includes a number of extendable upper and extendable lower braces. The extendable upper braces mount to an upper portion of the framework of a module and extend to engage the container. The extendable lower braces extend from the floor system of the module and engage the walls of the container to apply a force that secures the module in place.

Abstract: A cargo securement system for securing cargo in a container includes a number of upper and lower braces. The upper braces abut a ceiling of the container and the lower braces abut a floor of the container. The lower braces have a module engagement rail sized to slide within a rail guide of a module to guide the module to stowed position within the container and prevent movement of the module along a horizontal and a vertical axis. Bracing rods provide a compressive force to the upper and lower braces to provide a pressure fit that secures the braces and corresponding modules in place.

Abstract: A housing for a magnification loupe is provided having a body portion for an eyepiece lens and a nose portion for an objective lens. The body portion for the eyepiece lens includes outer circumferential threads over which the objective nose portion fits. The objective nose portion includes a pin slot defining an arc across the body of the nose. The arc is configured such that a pin may be secured through the holes in the nose piece to co-act with the threads of the eyepiece body such that radial movement is prohibited.

Abstract: The objective of combinatorial chemical synthesis is the preparation of a very large number of different molecular entities by a randomized process of sequential chemical syntheses. The present invention provides a combinatorial vessel comprising a reaction region and a mixing region, adjacent to each other, which can be used to practice combinatorial chemical synthesis. The reaction region comprises a plurality of reaction cavities, in which a plurality of different chemical reactions may be performed simultaneously on resin beads. The resin beads are then transferred to the mixing region and mixed into a single group. Then, the resin beads are transferred into the reaction cavities. The process of performing reactions, transferring to the mixing region, mixing, and transferring to the reaction region can be repeated multiple times to obtain a large number of resin beads, each of which has been exposed to a series of reactions different from most of the other resin beads.
