052220300 | Multiple passageway or multicellular load-bearing units (e.g., grid or two parallel pipes in a slab) | 7 |
20090000226 | SYSTEM FOR STORING WATER - A system for storing water in or under a concrete slab of the type in which one or more void forming elements are used to form one or more voids in the concrete slab. The system comprises one or more water storage means, such as pipes ( | 01-01-2009 |
20090241442 | SELF-CLEANING FLOORING SYSTEM - A self-cleaning flooring system is provided that includes at least one module. The module comprises a drain pan, a plurality of discharge ports, and at least one side wall. The drain pan may have a ramp and a drain outlet. The ramp may slope downward towards the drain outlet. The discharge ports may be disposed about a periphery of the drain pan and may be directed towards the drain outlet to direct flushing fluid towards the drain outlet. The side wall may circumscribe a portion of the periphery of the drain pan and include a hollow passage and at least one fluid inlet. The fluid inlet may be in fluid communication with the hollow passage for delivering flushing fluid to the discharge ports. | 10-01-2009 |
20100101162 | MULTI-LAYER CONCRETE CEILING STRUCTURE COMPRISING A PIPE SYSTEM - The invention relates to a concrete ceiling structure having a multi-layer design and comprising pre stressed elemental plates ( | 04-29-2010 |
20100229481 | MODULAR PRE-CAST COMPOSITE FLOORING TILE AND FLOOR SYSTEM - A multilayer tile for flooring and the like has a cementitious top surface, a lower density intermediate layer preferably incorporating expanded polymeric beads mixed with cement, and a lower layer reinforced by tension-bearing fibers embedded therein. The interface between the top and middle insulative layers may be upwardly domed to reduce the tendency for cracks to form in the bottom surface of the top layer. Channels formed along the edges of such tiles allow insertion of heat transfer tubing to provide a hydronic floor surface. A composite tile may have cementitious top and bottom surfaces with an intermediate lower density layer there between. Such intermediate layer may be divided into two portions by a water impervious layer that serves as a binder and vapor barrier. Tile panels according to the invention are laid-out on a prepared surface on mortar pads positioned along edges and corners of the tiles, leaving a continuous under air space which may be ventilated to remove moisture, soil gases and radon gas. | 09-16-2010 |
20120285107 | THERMALLY COOLED AND HEATED DECKING - Deck components and related systems and methods for circulating a fluid for thermally cooling and/or heating a deck component. An exemplary embodiment of a deck component has a body that comprises a passageway for receiving a fluid, which is adapted to cool and/or heat the deck component. The passageway may extend partially or completely through the body of the deck component. | 11-15-2012 |
20120291375 | CONSTRUCTION PANEL AND STIFFENING PLATE - The present invention relates to a construction panel and a reinforcement plate. More specifically, the present invention has an object to provide a construction panel and a reinforcement plate for obtaining superior waterproof effect between a panel connection portion and the reinforcement plate by means of a sealing member in the case of connecting a plurality of panels. | 11-22-2012 |
20130239499 | VARIABLE-GEOMETRY MODULAR STRUCTURE COMPOSED OF THERMO-ACOUSTIC CAISSONS, PARTICULARLY FOR BUILDINGS - A variable-geometry modular structure made of a metallic or plastic alloy, having at least one modular element with variable-geometry, with a honey-comb structure, to be joined to different modular components to obtain different embodiments. The modular element has a series of passages in which vacuum is created when manufacturing, through molding or extrusion, the modular element itself; the above modular element is a structural element and has at the same time insulating characteristics. The external surfaces of the modular element have a series of recesses and ribs, shaped as a dovetail, that allow mutually joining two or more elements. Modular elements can further be butt-joined by using posts arranged next to the passages. The modular element can be joined to a panel which has a substantially smooth or a corrugated external surface, which is used for applying plaster or other finishing elements, such as any type photovoltaic panels or tiles. | 09-19-2013 |
