Abstract: A self-standing enclosure assembly for a production line is provided. The self-standing enclosure assembly generally aims at securing a production area, such as a production line, by limiting access to the operator or to any personnel near the production area. The self-standing and self-supporting enclosure assembly 10 is illustrated. The enclosure comprises a plurality of modular self-standing panels. Each modular self-standing panel is attached to one another using one or more angular mounting members. The self-standing panels may be embodied as a half-fenced panel, fully fenced panel, an equipment passage panel and/or a door panel. Each panel is embodied as a self-supporting structure comprising a frame and support members.

Abstract: A Magnetic Resistance Apparatus (MRA) for providing manageable resistance, the MRA comprising a series of magnets disposed adjacent from one another, a series of electromagnets slidably mounted in electromagnetic cooperation with the series of magnets and an actuator for sliding the series of electromagnets in respect with the series of magnets, wherein current in the electromagnets is managed in a non-constant fashion along the sliding of the series of electromagnets in respect with the series of magnets.

Abstract: An insulating panel attachable to a building, the building defining a building aperture, the building aperture defining an aperture plane extending substantially thereacross. The insulating panel includes a membrane structure defining a first external wall and a substantially opposed second external wall; a peripheral wall extending between the first and second external walls, the first external wall, second external wall and peripheral wall together defining an enclosure; and an internal wall system located between the first and second external walls, the internal wall system being configured so as to divide the enclosure into a first cell located substantially adjacent to the first external wall and a second cell located substantially adjacent to the second external wall, the first and second cells being substantially spaced apart respectively from the second and first external walls by the internal wall system.
