A method and apparatus for providing residential care and health is disclosed. The method includes providing a residential unit which is transported to a location proximate a residence of a primary health provider. The residential unit is then positioned on a plurality of height adjustable pads which function to retain the residential unit in place and substantially restrict any horizontal movement of the residential unit relative to the underlying ground. The resident is then introduced into the residential unit. The unit is fitted with telemetric monitoring equipment adapted to monitor and relay information regarding the resident's health, vital signs, movement to a remotely located care provider. Upon the resident obtaining a condition which no longer requires the monitoring of his health and vital signs, the residential unit is transported away from the location. The residential unit includes a metal frame coupled to an enclosure which defines an interior and an air-sealed door which accesses the interior.

A method of unloading a modular home from a trailer includes positioning a modular home on a trailer bed. The modular home includes a first housing portion having a first vertical edge coupled to a second vertical edge of a second housing portion by a hinge, and the first and second housing portions are arranged longitudinally on the trailer. The method further includes rotating the first and second housing portions about the hinge such that the first and second housing portions overhang from the sides of the bed, forming first and second overhanging portions. The method further includes coupling at least one of (1) a first horizontal edge of the first housing portion to a second horizontal edge of the second housing portion, or (2) a third vertical edge of the first housing portion to a fourth vertical edge of the second housing portion upon completion of the rotating.

A trailer configured to transport a load includes a bed including an upper surface configured to support the load, a slot positioned in the bed and extending from a front portion of the bed to a rear portion of the bed, and a first rotation pin configured to translate within the slot and extending from within the slot to above the upper surface of the bed.

Rigid wall shelters are used throughout the world for shipping, living quarters, and housing for electronic systems and are energy inefficient. While investigating energy-efficient technologies for rigid wall shelters the discovery was made to insulate the outside of the shelter rather than the inside. Space is often limited inside of the shelter. The invention of an external, re-deployable insulation system was developed. The present invention is an insulating system composed of three main components. The first component is multiple, purpose cut flexible envelopes filled with insulating materials (which creates a panel). The second component is multiple insulating strips that cover the joint between the panels. The final component is a weatherproof outer covering that protects the entire system from the elements.

Disclosed is a prefabricated module including, in one piece: a shower compartment, with a shower; a toilet compartment, with a toilet seat, the shower compartment and the toilet compartment being arranged longitudinally opposite one another; a kitchen compartment, which included a sink and a cooking appliance; a technical compartment, which included: a domestic water supply and a water heater, supplying domestic water to the shower and sink; an energy supply, supplying energy to the cooking appliance and the water heater; the kitchen compartment and the technical compartment being arranged between the shower compartment and the toilet compartment, which are transversely opposite one another, of the prefabricated module.

An expansion insert for converting an ISO shipping container into a housing unit is provided, the insert having a compacted form reversibly convertible to a expanded form. The insert has a frame assembly torsionally hinged to a roof assembly and a floor assembly. Two pivot walls and a sidewall are also built into the insert. The insert may be compacted for shipping, expanded after insertion into an ISO container, and compacted again on the ISO container.

A magnetically shielded room reducing pressure felt by a person inside includes an upper shielding body, a side periphery shielding body, and a lower shielding body, all of which define a magnetically shielded inner space. A magnifying lens is located in the upper shielding body. The magnifying lens can magnify and project an incident image from outside to a range of one inner side surface of the magnetically shielded room. so that the range should be 50% or more of the area of the one inner side surface. The range includes most of the area above a line of sight of a person in the magnetically shielded room. The magnifying lens is provided at a position closer to the one inner side surface as a projection target of the lens than the other inner side surface as a non-projection target facing the one inner side surface as the projection target.

A collapsible dwelling includes a front wall assembly, a rear wall assembly, opposed sidewall assemblies, a roof assembly and a floor assembly. The wall assemblies are collapsible to be received between the floor assembly and the roof assembly, and at least one of the roof assembly and the floor assembly defines at least one recess, the, or each, recess being dimensioned to receive an appliance that is mounted on one of the wall assemblies when that wall assembly is in a collapsed configuration.

A portable training studio is disclosed. The portable training studio includes an expandable structure that is reconfigurable between a transport configuration and a use configuration. The expandable structure includes: a frame; a first door that is pivotably connected to the frame such that the first door is movable between an open position and a closed position; and a first deck that is pivotably connected to the frame such that the first deck is movable between an open position and a closed position.

A low-slung movable personal booth includes two opposing sidewalls and a rear wall. The opposing sidewalls are rigidly connected to the rear wall thereby to form a cubicle structure having a usable space therein. A structural continuity member extends between and connects the sidewalls so as to provide structural continuity within the cubicle structure. A low friction mobility apparatus is mounted along the lower edge portions of both sidewalls and of the rear wall, for supporting the cubicle structure on a support surface and so as to facilitate movement of cubicle structure along the support surface in response to a lateral force.
