A system and method used to translate a building structure (e.g., a single-family home) from a first position (e.g., above grade) to a second position (e.g., below grade) is provided. The system may thereby protect building structures from above grade threats such as wildfires, tornados, hurricanes, and other threats by lowering the building structure into a below grade cavity and sealing it therein. The system may include a base that supports the building structure and a translation system that lowers the base and the building structure below grade. The translation system may include scissor lifts, hydraulic lifts, jackscrew lifts and/or other types of lifts. The system also may include a quick release utilities system to disconnect the various utilities during the translation and a protective roof that may be extended over the top of the building structure to protect it from the threats above.

A moon/planet complex, an orbiting docking spaceport, and transportation vehicles therebetween that includes i) moon/planet base station having a landing platform with a plurality of charged plates; ii) a moon/planet orbiting craft, docking spacecraft having landing platform with a plurality of charged plates; iii) a personnel transport spacecraft to shuttle personnel between an orbiting craft and planetary/moon base station having rotating electromagnetic rings 320 and/or rotating electromagnetic plates to interact with charged plates; iv) a large personnel/cargo transport spacecraft to shuttle personnel between an orbiting craft and planetary base station having rotating electromagnetic plates to interact with charged plates.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sheet body having an improved function of preventing icing and/or snow accretion. At least included are a solid oil-containing resin layer containing an oil and an oil-permeable surface resin layer that has higher wear resistance than the oil-containing resin layer and is layered on one of surfaces of the oil-containing resin layer. The oil included in the oil-containing resin layer includes a low-temperature exuding oil component capable of exuding from the oil-containing resin layer when a temperature decreases to a predetermined value or lower, and the surface resin layer has enough oil permeability to permeate the low-temperature exuding oil component exuding from the oil-containing resin layer to a surface of the surface resin layer that is opposite to a side of the oil-containing resin layer.

A chemical protective shelter system for encapsulating an uncontaminated person or persons is presented. The chemical protective shelter system has a cover assembly extending a length between a top end and a bottom end and having interior surface and an exterior surface and an opening which can be opened and closed repeatedly while still sealing. The chemical protective shelter system includes a layer of a chemical adsorbent material capable of filtering chemical agents while allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through the material. The chemical protective shelter is specially adapted to house a plurality of people and facilitate a tent like function. The system also includes a port for auxiliary filtered air. The system may also include a powered air purifying respirator which positively pressures the interior space of the system.

This invention is a continuum of enabling technology applying prior patent applications to create and then sustain a planetary heavy construction, soil and water mining and refining using a nuclear power appliances infrastructure. The methods used within this invention provide capabilities to build a sustainable support environment for earth-like habitable complexes that will include buildings and maintenance facilities, living spaces, and office spaces focused on full scale commercial mining operations for He3, H.sub.2O and other strategic minerals and raw building materials.

A covering is particularly suited for use in a machine for producing and/or finishing a paper, cardboard, tissue or pulp web. The covering has a basic structure formed as a part of a flat woven material, which flat woven material is designed as a woven material by interlacing warp threads and weft threads. The portion of the flat woven material has a plurality of sections that are formed integrally with each other, with at least one property of one of the sections differing from the respective property of at least one adjacent section.

A safety portal system for use in existing building, such as schools. The safety portal system includes a first portal section. The first portal section includes a first wall and a second wall, a first open end, a floor portion and a ceiling portion, the at least one open end defined by an outer edge. In addition to the first portal section, the safety portal system includes a second portal section. The second portal section includes a first wall and a second wall, at least one open end, a floor portion and a ceiling portion. The at least one open end of the second portal section is defined by an inner edge that cooperates and engages with the outer edge of the first portal section to create a protective overlap section. A method of installing the safety portal system includes positioning the safety portal system in a desired building and assembling the safety portal system. The safety portal system can then be secured in its desired location within the building.

A system and method used to translate a building structure (e.g., a single-family home) from a first position (e.g., above grade) to a second position (e.g., below grade) is provided. The system may thereby protect building structures from above grade threats such as wildfires, tornados, hurricanes, and other threats by lowering the building structure into a below grade cavity and sealing it therein. The system may include a base that supports the building structure and a translation system that lowers the base and the building structure below grade. The translation system may include scissor lifts, hydraulic lifts, jackscrew lifts and/or other types of lifts. The system also may include a quick release utilities system to disconnect the various utilities during the translation and a protective roof that may be extended over the top of the building structure to protect it from the threats above.
