INTER-TILE SUPPORT FOR SOLAR ROOF TILES
One embodiment described herein provides a photovoltaic roof module. The roof module can include at least a first photovoltaic roof tile, a second photovoltaic roof tile positioned adjacent to the first photovoltaic roof tile, and a spacer coupled to and positioned between the first and second photovoltaic roof tiles. The spacer is configured to facilitate a semi-rigid joint between the first and second photovoltaic roof tiles.
VEHICLE-TO-ROAD TECHNOLOGY FOR ALIGNMENT, STOPPING, SLOWING, AND SLIPPING BY ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCES
Structures, systems, and methods for vehicle-to-road technology for one or more of alignment, stopping, slowing, and slipping by electromagnetic forces are disclosed, including a road system, comprising a road having a longitudinal axis and containing ferrous material positioned in a pattern aligned with the longitudinal axis, the pattern configured to, when the ferrous material is magnetized, generate a magnetic force such that a vehicle on the road is guided by the magnetic force. In some implementations, the pattern may be configured to, when the ferrous material is magnetized, generate the magnetic force such that the vehicle on the road is guided by the magnetic force in a predetermined direction. The ferrous material may be configured to change between a magnetized state and an unmagnetized state based on application of an electrical current to the ferrous material.

Adjustable bolted steel plate connection
An adjustable structural connection can be used to join steel structural elements at a range of angles and is capable of adjusting in situ to accommodate additional angles or tolerances through cold bending. Pre-bent plate or plates may be loosely fitted around steel structural elements, such that holes in the plates align with holes of the steel structural elements. Placing bolts through the aligned holes and tightening those bolts can be used to cold bend the plate or plates and conform the angle of the pre-bent plates to a different angle defined by an apex joint of two steel structural elements. Specific tightening procedures may be employed.

RIGID HANGER CONNECTING STRUCTURE AND BRIDGE STRUCTURE
The present invention relates to the field of construction engineering, and discloses a rigid hanger connecting structure and a bridge structure. The connecting structure includes a rigid hanger and further includes a first connecting portion connected to a top end of the rigid hanger and a second connecting portion connected to a bottom end of the rigid hanger, and the hanger is connected to the first connecting portion and/or the second connecting portion by using a spherical bearing pair. In the present invention, a rotatable connection between the hanger and a bridge structure is implemented to avoid cracking of concrete inside a short hanger, prolonging the service life of a bridge; the connecting ends of the hanger are located within a line of sight range convenient for maintenance, to eliminate a blind zone, improving bridge safety; the hanger can be prefabricated in a factory, shortening construction period and improving efficiency.
