NIGHT VISION TUNNEL
20210215041 · 2021-07-15 · ·

Provided in this disclosure is a portable night vision tunnel for operating a vehicle in a simulated night environment. The night vision tunnel is formed by assembling a plurality of modules on a driving surface to provide a darkened interior in which the vehicle can be driven. Each of the modules are formed of inflatable arch components each having a light-absorptive interior surface for creating the simulated night environment for operating the vehicle. A fastener arrangement connects each of the arch components to an adjoining one to form a single module. The tunnel includes a portal formed on an able arch component at a respective module proximate to the end of the tunnel. The portal admits the vehicle into the tunnel while maintaining the simulated night environment for operating the vehicle. An air circulation system ventilates and circulates air within an interior space of the tunnel.

Building Products and Associated Methods for Providing Contoured and Elevated Features for Artificial Surfaces
20190263090 · 2019-08-29 ·

A modular foundation structure for artificial surface systems includes a structural base layer with a shaped rigid foam having contoured and elevated features, an adhesive layer covering the structural base layer, and an impact and thermal protective layer attached to the structural base layer via the adhesive layer. The impact and thermal protective layer is configured to support an artificial surface layer and has a relatively higher melting point and compression recovery factor than the structural base layer. The shaped rigid may be a closed-cell foam such as Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) or Expanded polyethylene (EPE), and the impact and thermal protective layer may be a bead molded Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) foam. The impact and thermal protective layer may have a melting point of about 300 degrees Fahrenheit, and the structural base layer has a melting point of less than 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
