Disclosed is an arrangement including a staircase as well as walkway systems. The staircase includes a transitional member, and the walkways incorporate grate supports in order to facilitate the connection to adjacent structures. The arrangement also utilizes angled members which are configured with a reinforced flange existing in a dimension that has higher load requirements than the other flange. A novel step configuration is also disclosed.

A scaffold clamp cooperates with a scaffold ledger to accommodate aligned placement of the scaffold clamp to the ledger at modular positions in the length of the ledger. The scaffold clamp includes an inwardly directed alignment lug sized for receipt in one or more clamp locating holes provided in the length of the ledger at modular positions. This arrangement provides accurate securement of the clamp to the ledger at predetermined modular positions and reduces problems that can occur with respect to erection of the scaffold system.

A clamp for securing a plank to an elongated member of a scaffold. The clamp includes a body and a pair of legs extending from the body longitudinally spaced apart from each. The legs each define a leg recess for receiving the elongated member, the leg recesses each defining a leg recess nadir at a location furthest away from the body. A lock is mounted to the body and defines a plank engaging tip, the lock being movable between a lock extended position and a lock retracted position. In the lock extended position, the plank engaging tip is closer to the leg recess nadirs than in the lock retracted position.

An electronic device comprising a system on chip and an external module. The system on chip includes a plurality of internal subsystems and a power management system including a plurality of internal voltage regulators which supply power to the plurality of internal subsystems. Each of the internal voltage regulators has an associated current limiter. The external module includes at least one external voltage regulator which can provide power to at least one of the internal subsystems. The power management system during a start-up phase enables the internal voltage regulators and the current limiters and in a subsequent phase determines an externally powered set of the internal subsystems, disables the corresponding internal voltage regulators, and disables the current limiters associated with the internal subsystems not externally powered.

Various implementations described herein are directed to a load bearing ledger fitting, a modular header beam, a perimeter safety deck, a multi-purpose bearing plate, and a mega-shore bearing plate of an integrated construction system.

An adjustable toe board that is capable of adjustment to a number of varying lengths to accommodate various platform sizing. An exemplary embodiment of the invention includes a locking mechanism for use with the adjustable toe board to retain the toe board in its retracted position when necessary for transport, storage, or when the size of the portion of the platform the toe board will be used in requires the toe board to be in its fully collapsible state. A uniquely shaped wedge pin may be utilized to accommodate various sizes of posts when connecting a non-adjustable or an adjustable toe board to scaffolds and the like.
