Beam connector for arch structure
The invention is a structural connector used as a component to construct an arch consisting of a plurality of closely adjacent, polygonal rows of stringer beams. The multiple row polygonal arch is a low-cost, general purpose support structure for bridges, shelters and arbors applicable to many cost-, time- or environmentally-sensitive situations. The invention is a Y-shaped connector, typically made of sheet metal, with three brackets, two upper brackets and a lower bracket, which collectively enable a union of three beams forming one node of the multiple row polygonal arch. Using these Y-shaped connectors to join the beams at each node creates the arch structure, and additionally provides the features of cantilevering, modularity, generic component shape, reusability and safety. The invention is applicable to a variety of structures such as: pedestrian and vehicular bridges, shelters, arbors, as well as jewelry, furniture and toys.
MASONRY LINTEL FOR LONG SPANS
A lintel system for supporting masonry blocks above an opening in a structure includes a lintel configured to span a width of the opening. The lintel includes a plurality of elongate splice plates each having opposite longitudinal ends. The splice plates are attached together end to end such that a longitudinal end of each splice plate is attached to a longitudinal end of at least one other splice plate.
Truss foundation adapters for single-axis trackers
A one-piece truss adapter for supporting single-axis trackers with truss foundations. A upside-down Y-shaped structure has bearing support portion and an opposing pair of legs with an angularly adjustable connector for securely joining the one-piece adapter to a pair of driven screw anchors at different angular orientations. Each leg terminates in a connector that is received in a socket integral to a driving coupler at the head of each screw anchor. A retaining nut may hold the connector in place to complete the angularly adjustable assembly.

A one-piece truss adapter for supporting single-axis trackers with truss foundations. A upside-down Y-shaped structure has bearing support portion and an opposing pair of legs with an angularly adjustable connector for securely joining the one-piece adapter to a pair of driven screw anchors at different angular orientations. Each leg terminates in a connector that is received in a socket integral to a driving coupler at the head of each screw anchor. A retaining nut may hold the connector in place to complete the angularly adjustable assembly.
CURVED CEILING STRUCTURE
The present invention relates to a curved ceiling structure, the ceiling structure characterized by having a curved shell shape over the seats of a theater while exposing the screen. Therefore, according to the present invention, structural continuity with the screen curved in horizontal and vertical axes can be ensured, and by ensuring design integrity with the screen curved in horizontal and vertical axes, a sense of immersion can be imparted to an audience and an enhanced life-like sensation can be delivered thereto.
THEATER HAVING PROVIDED WITH SCREEN HAVING CURVATURE, AND CHAIR CONTROL SYSTEM FOR SAME
The present invention relates to a theater having provided with a screen having curvature, and a chair control system for same and, more specifically, to a theater comprising: a screen having predetermined curvature in the long axial direction or the short axial direction; and theater chairs provided so as to face the center of the screen, wherein the screen is tilted. Therefore, by providing the angles of theater chairs to vary with respect to the location in a theater having provided with a screen that has curvature in the horizontal axis as well as the vertical axis, the present invention enables securing of an optimal field of vision for audience.
ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURES HAVING AN EXPANDABLE FRAME
An architectural structure for constructing a variety of goods in a variety of configurations is provided. The architectural structure includes a plurality of paired slat-like members and a spine configured to hold the plurality of paired slat-like members in an expanded state. Each paired slat-like members includes joined upper ends, joined lower ends and an expandable central region joined to an adjacent paired slat-like members.

CURVED SCREEN FRAME AND THEATER COMPRISING SAME
The present invention relates to a method of providing image data based on cloud streaming. In particular, the method uses memory space of a terminal, prestores image data in the terminal, captures an execution screen regarding execution of a specific application, extracts video content from the prestored image data based on the captured execution screen and information regarding the execution screen, simultaneously encodes individual items of the extracted video content, and provides the encoded video content to a screen. Thus, according to the present invention, usage of the cloud streaming server and the network may be reduced by an amount commensurate with the resources utilization of the terminal. Network load may also be reduced when a live video or a VOD video is not being watched, and the rich GUI experience may be guaranteed in a standby state.
