A solenoid valve includes a main valve, a first auxiliary valve, a second auxiliary valve, a main valve body, and an auxiliary valve body. The main and auxiliary valve bodies are axially parallel and detachably connected. The main valve is mounted on the main valve body, the first and second auxiliary valves are mounted on the auxiliary valve body, which is provided with an air inlet, a cylinder port and an air discharging port. The air inlet communicates with the main valve through a first air passage. The cylinder port is sequentially in communication with the first and second auxiliary valves and the main valve through a second air passage. The air discharging port sequentially communicates with the first and second auxiliary valves and the main valve through a third air passage. The main and second auxiliary valves are solenoid valves. The first auxiliary valve is a hand-operated valve.

A method for the preparation of concretes with improved wear resistance. The method involves the use of colloidal silica, which is added to a concrete mixture after mixing, in conjunction with a concrete cutter, which is added to the concrete mixture after the addition of the colloidal silica.

A supporting element for cylindrical or column-shaped elements of modular elements for making raised and/or ventilated floors, includes a substantially plane base configured to be rested on the underlying floor, two or more lateral extensions arranged at sides of the plane base and coplanar with the plane base, coupling elements arranged on the portions of said lateral extensions that are far from the plane base. The supporting element includes a first series of projections arranged along a circle centered on the plane base, defining a seat in which a lower end of the cylindrical or column-shaped elements is inserted and housed, and wherein the projections of the first series are configured to adhere to the surface of the cylindrical or column-shaped element housed in the seat.

The present invention is directed to a method for providing a surface, in particular a floor surface, with a layer of a magnetic and/or magnetizable cover composition, the surface having at least one layer of cementitious material, wherein the method comprises the step of spreading the layer of the cover composition onto the surface, the cover composition comprising a polymeric binder and magnetic and/or magnetizable particles, characterized in that the layer of the cover composition has a water vapor transmission rate of at least 0.25 g h.sup.1 m.sup.2 according to ASTM D1653,and the surface and/ or the layer of cementitious material has a relative humidity of more than 75% according to ASTM F 2170-11.

A system and method for installing a graphic design on a flooring surface, where a vinyl decal displaying the graphic design is applied to a flooring surface that has been coated with multiple layers of sealer, and where after application of the vinyl decal to the sealed floor, one or more additional layers of sealer are applied to the floor, covering the vinyl decal and the areas surrounding the vinyl decal, and finally one or more layers of floor finish are applied to the surface to result in a finished floor displaying the graphic design. Application of the vinyl decal may vary depending on characteristics of the graphic design, with some applications using a specially designed applicator device, some applications using a wet application method, and other applications using a hinged application method.
