A computer program product comprising: accessing a model of a building, wherein the model is comprised of a plurality of assemblies, wherein the assemblies are comprised of a plurality of members; detecting the assemblies which are identified as floor joists, wherein the floor joist is identified by the specific members and member internal interfaces and the member properties; analyzing the floor joists to determine if a floor joist has an external interface with another floor joist; isolating the floor joists and the plurality of members; and analyzing each of the members of the floor joists which have external interfaces with other members, wherein the interface is analyzed to determine if the interface is conflicting, wherein a conflicting interface is one where the actual values of the members are inconsistent with a required value.

A process for producing a surface covering with an embossed printed surface is described. A substrate (16) is continuously moved through a production line, and this substrate (16) is first provided, in a printing equipment (12), with a printed pattern and thereafter, in an embossing equipment (14), with an embossed pattern, which is registered with the printed pattern. The printing equipment (12) produces the printed pattern in-line with the production of the embossed pattern. During printing in the printing equipment (12), the printed pattern is stretched or compressed, dynamically responsive to indicators of misalignments between the printed pattern and the embossed pattern, so as to correct or prevent the misalignments. A production line for carrying out this process is also proposed.

A system of modular components for on-site assembly of a shelter for an above-ground structure to protect the structure from blast, wind, fire or other physical hazards. A pyramidal shelter with triangular or rectangular base is formed by joining side panels to each other. Each side panel includes a triangular frame covered, except at access hatch, observation port and door openings, with either steel plate or diamond steel mesh to which blast-resistant, fire-resistant or other kinds of coatings or panels are applied. A corner anchor assembly to support each corner of a shelter has a lower plate, an overlying split plate, and a pair of upstanding, anchor rods attached to the split plates for insertion into hollow, lower portions of side beams of adjacent side panels. The corner anchor assemblies facilitate expansion of an assembled shelter by addition of more modular components.

Provided are a recyclable synthetic resin tile to be laid contributing to establishment of a recycling-oriented society, and a method of manufacturing the same. A recyclable synthetic resin tile to be laid wherein a main constituent resin includes an olefinic thermoplastic resin and/or thermoplastic elastomer, and the tile includes a base part in which a decorative layer, two or more intermediate layers, and a balance layer are laminated in this order, and a layer of the intermediate layers includes an inorganic fiber layer, and the decorative layer and the balance layer are shaped to be concave-convex.

A cutting device for a continuous milling machine for the profiling of one or more edges of panels has a slide shoe or pressure shoe, which has a sliding surface or sliding surfaces for guiding a surface of a panel to be milled over it or them. The aforementioned slide shoe or pressure shoe is provided with at least one cutting blade for machining the panel; the cutting blade maintains a fixed position during this machining. The slide shoe or the pressure shoe is provided in order to support the surface of the panel to be milled by means of its sliding surface or sliding surfaces on a rotating milling cutter that carries out a milling operation on the edge of the panel.

A floor, wall, or ceiling panel and to a method for producing same. The panel has a base made of a wood material and an upper veneer. The base and the veneer are hot-pressed together while incorporating a resin layer. During the pressing process, pores, cracks, and/or gaps in the veneer are filled with resin. In particular, the pressing process is carried out such that the veneer is saturated with resin, and the resin can be seen on the surface of the veneer after the pressing process. The adhesion of the veneer to the base and the smoothing of the veneer are thus carried out in one operation.

A set of floor panels, which is suitable for forming a floor covering in herringbone pattern, wherein these floor panels are oblong rectangular; wherein the long as well as the short edges are provided with mechanical coupling means; and wherein the male coupling part on the short edge can be inserted into the female coupling part on the long edge in one and the same turning movement which is used to insert the male coupling part on the long edge into the female coupling part on the long or short edge.

Various embodiments of flooring and other tiles are described that comprise one or more magnets and/or routed edges to connect adjacent tiles to one another. Some tiles may comprise a set of magnets or magnetized portions to connect with an adjacent tile having a set of magnets of opposite polarity.
