A system and method for providing small animal veterinary care is provided. The system and method includes providing an enclosed garage adjacent to a veterinary exam room and the garage includes entry and exit garage doors at opposite ends of the garage. A vehicle holding a small animal is received into the garage through the entry garage door. Without going outside the small animal receives veterinary care, such as outpatient veterinary care, which may occur in the adjacent exam room. Following the provision of care, the vehicle exits the garage through the exit garage door. The garage and the veterinary exam room are located under a common roof, such that the small animal is able to be moved from the vehicle directly into the exam room without going outside.

A motel room capable of admitting a car inside may be automatically washed, rinsed, and sanitized in sequential fashion over impermeable wall and floor surfaces, and over bathroom fixtures using one or more headers having nozzles. Wash, rinse, and sanitizing fluids from appropriate reservoirs may be provided in reservoirs fluidly connected to the header and spray nozzles. The header may also be fluidly connected to a source of drying air. The system may also contain a system for recycling water used in the wash, rinse, and sanitizing steps.

To provide a roof structure free from generation of a dead space, capable of reducing a load moment. A roof structure including a roof (1) supported by a post (2) is a cantilever structure having the front end of the roof (1) formed in a free end and the rear end connected to the upper end of the post (2). The lower end of the post (2) is fixed in a concrete foundation (5). The post (2) is tilted with the upper end directed backward and with the lower end directed forward. A counter moment cm generated on the post (2) at the time of application of a load to the roof (1) reduces a load moment (M) generated by the load, thereby bringing the post (2) into an advantageous state in strength. The configuration of the post (2) with two post members and a vertical connecting member (10) connecting the post members facilitates the construction of the post (2) to be tilted at a desired angle.

In order to provide a base unit, in particular a base unit for an infrastructure device, which on the one hand can be produced in a straightforward and cost-effective manner and on the other hand is visually pleasing and can withstand vandalism attempts, it is proposed that the base unit should comprise a plurality of support elements and one or more roof elements arranged on the support elements, wherein the support elements and/or the one or more roof elements are arranged, and designed, such that the one or more roof elements are, or can be, arranged so as to be spaced apart from a floor or ground surface by means of the supporting elements, wherein the base unit comprises water drainage and/or cable routing and/or a lighting region and/or roof elements arranged obliquely in relation to the direction of gravitational force.

In accordance with various exemplary embodiments, solar energy shade structures and support systems are disclosed that have electrical components concealed or screened within columns located under the structure. For example, a solar energy structure may comprise: a solar panel support structure, a plurality of solar panels supported by the solar panel support structure, a plurality of vertical supports connected to the solar panel support structure for supporting the solar panel support structure elevated above a surface, and a column, located under the solar panel support structure. The column comprises an electrical component mounted to the column in a screened manner, wherein the electrical component comprises at least one of a string inverter, a combiner, and a battery.

Various embodiments of mounting structures for solar photovoltaic (PV) modules and methods for constructing such mounting structures are described. A mounting structure is usable to secure PV modules in portrait orientation or landscape orientation. PV modules are secured to PV module support rails, which may be secured to purlins of a mounting structure using clamps. In some embodiments, self-adhesive grounding patches are used to establish electrical grounding paths in various embodiments of mounting structure.

The present invention relates generally to the field of faraday cages. More specifically, the present invention relates to a carport tent faraday cage device. The device includes a tent body, at least one roof frame, at least one wall frame, and at least one door. The tent body includes three layers, namely an exterior layer, a middle layer, and an interior layer. Further, the tent body material has a middle layer that includes a woven copper wire to prevent the electromagnetic radiation from entering the device. A grounding stake and a tether are also included to direct the electrical current away from the device and into the ground. The device provides users with a device to store their vehicles, or other electronic devices without the risk of damage by electromagnetic radiation.

A solar carport system has a framework comprising metal tubing and connection fittings, the framework having a length, a width and a height and rectangular faces on top, ends and sides, a plurality of wheel assemblies at a lowermost location on the framework, enabling the framework to be moved on the wheels on a supporting surface, a plurality of solar panels assembled to the framework in the top rectangular face, such that an active surface of each solar panel faces upward, and circuitry and wiring connecting the solar panels to a cable ending in a connector compatible with and connected to an inverter.

The invention provides a building assembly comprising a subterranean cellar defining a space to be formed under the ground, the cellar having a ceiling including a first opening defining an access region for a staircase to connect the ground of the subterranean cellar, when in situ, with the surface of the ground above the cellar; and a heat control device having a heat transfer mechanism to provide heat from the cellar to a region on the ground above the cellar.
