Patent number: 9212485Abstract: An improved modular building panel and system for building construction is disclosed. The improved modular building panel comprises a novel honeycomb or lattice core comprising multiple layers of corrugated, preferably metal, components mechanically connected by any means known in the art, but which may be chemical bonding. External cladding layers comprising a novel cement mix comprising, in a preferred embodiment, Portland cement, silica sand, perlite, glass beads, and water, in combination with the honeycomb structure, provide a lightweight, highly durable, low-cost, projectile resistant, highly insulating, water, mold and mildew resistant, wind resistant novel modular wall system which is adapted for use in commercial, residential, and other construction and which provides superior security to the user. The modular building panel and system of the invention may be utilized for walls, roofs, floors, bridges, or other structures.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2013Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Inventors: Victor Wolynski, James Wald

Patent number: 8518202Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatae used to prepare a shaped and molded multilayered article formed from a heated thermoplastic sheet and a first plastic sheet that are driven into melt-bonding contact by a stream of gas. The method involves applying a stream of gas (450) against the first surface (417) of a first plastic sheet (411) so as to drive a second surface (420) of the first plastic sheet against and into contact with the first surface (432) of a heated thermoplastic sheet (423) as the heated thermoplastic sheet is formed (e.g., extends downstream from the sheet slot 426 of a sheet die 429). The second surface of the first plastic sheet is defined by a thermoplastic layer.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2009Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: LRM Industries International, Inc.Inventors: Karl Leslie Polk, Albert H.
