Abstract: A portable modular building structure that includes a plurality of sections assembled adjacent one another. The sections include molded fiberboard panels, that optionally include interior plenums. In an embodiment, each panel has an upwardly curving profile, and mirror-image sections are attached to one another via a fastener, that may include tape or other mechanical fastener. The sections are positioned end to end, with the number of sections determining the overall length of the structure. An optional end section of the structure may include wedge shaped sections positioned end to end, forming a curved end.

Abstract: Building materials made of agricultural and other cellulosic byproducts and methods for their production. In production of these materials, cellulosic containing alloys are formed providing a slurry of the desired by-products, de-watered via a pressure press, optionally with several pressing and slurry application steps. The press optionally has desired properties, such as for acoustic engineering of the resulting panel. Resins are infused in the panels for desired water resistant or other properties.

Abstract: A U-turn signaling device for a vehicle for signaling that the driver is going to or is currently performing a U-turn.

Abstract: A fiberboard panel is formed from at least one corrugated sheet of molded cellulose fiber material formed from a mixture of at least two different cellulose fibers, one of the fibers comprising bovine processed fiber (BPF). The panel has opposite first and second faces and is formed with alternating ribs and grooves. The ribs on the first face each have a first, flat peak and the ribs on the second face each have a second, flat peak facing in the opposite direction to the first peaks, the opposing first and second flat peaks forming opposing faces of the sheet. Each first peak is connected to adjacent second peaks by angled webs forming opposite side faces of ribs. The corrugated sheet may be sandwiched between two flat sheets of the same material to form a composite panel.
