CLT PANEL REINFORCING STRUCTURE
20220275644 · 2022-09-01 ·

To provide a means for efficiently reinforcing strength around a through hole of a CLT panel. A CLT panel reinforcing structure includes a CLT panel having a through hole; hole; a first reinforcing member having a first plate and a first pipe, the first plate having a first opening; and a second reinforcing member having a second plate and a second pipe, the second plate having a second opening. In the first reinforcing member, the first pipe is inserted into the through hole in a state where an outer peripheral surface of the first pipe abuts on an inner peripheral surface of the through hole, and a largest surface of the first plate abuts on a first surface of the CLT panel. In the second reinforcing member, the second pipe is inserted into the through hole in a state where an outer peripheral surface of the second pipe abuts on an inner peripheral surface of the first pipe, and a largest surface of the second plate abuts on a second surface located opposite to the first surface of the CLT panel.

Modular barrier panel and construction system
11391032 · 2022-07-19 ·

A modular barrier panel and a barrier formed therewith and methods and systems for construction of the panel and barrier. The panel includes an aboveground portion and a base portion. The aboveground portion includes a grid-like configuration having a plurality of vents that are sized to limit passage of a human therethrough but that enable viewing through the panel. The base portion includes a plurality of side-by-side, waffle-shaped sections with openings therethrough. The panels can be cast on-site, cured overnight, and immediately installed in the barrier formation. The panels are installed in a trench and the base portions are encased in concrete; the openings in the base allow the concrete to flow to both sides of the panel. Sensors, including cameras and vibration sensors, may be installed in the base section or in the foundation concrete or on the aboveground portion to detect actions on, over, or under the barrier.

Systems and methods for mounting roof-mounted photovoltaic arrays including flashing and tape
11277092 · 2022-03-15 ·

A kit for flashing a mount of a photovoltaic assembly on a surface includes a flashing assembly. The flashing assembly includes flashing that extends across an interface of the mount and the surface when the mount is attached to the surface. The flashing includes a bottom surface and a top surface. The flashing assembly also includes tape attached to the bottom surface of the flashing. The tape includes a first attachment area and a second attachment area. The flashing assembly has a first configuration in which the first attachment area is attached to the flashing and the second attachment area is unattached, and a second configuration in which the first attachment area is attached to the flashing and the second attachment area is attached to the surface. The tape is movable with the flashing as an assembly when the flashing assembly is in the first configuration. The first attachment area and the second attachment area positioned on opposite sides of the tape such that the tape extends between the surface and the bottom surface of the flashing when the tape is in the second configuration. The kit also includes a container defining an interior space to receive the flashing assembly.
