CONNECTOR FOR A MODULAR BUILDING
A connector assembly, having an upper connector, a pin coupling the upper connector to a lower connector and a gusset plate sandwiched between the upper and lower connectors. Also, disclosed is a hoistable connector assembly, a lifting frame assembly, a coupling system for modular frame units, a method for assembling a module unit using the connector assembly, and a modular frame unit and building having the connector assembly.
Systems and methods for protection of floorings in shipping containers
An exemplary approach for protecting floorings in containers may utilize a first ledger attached to an upper portion of a first support beam associated with a foundational base assembly. A portion of the first ledger may protrude outward in a first horizontal direction from the upper portion of the first support beam. A second ledger may be attached to an upper portion of a second support beam next to the first support beam. A portion of the second ledger may protrude outward in a second horizontal direction from the upper portion of the second support beam. The second horizontal direction may face the first horizontal direction. A support panel may be placed on top of the portion of the first ledger and the portion of the second ledger. The support panel may have a length proximate to a distance between the first support beam and the second support beam.
Ballroom-style cleanroom assembled from modular buildings
A rapidly deployable cleanroom is constructed from multiple modular building sections that are side-by-side and have similarly sized lengths, as well as user-accessible panels in multiple of them for air, water, power, networking, and other utilities at a similar internal location along their lengths. The utility panels can be standardized such that each panel is substantially identical to one another. The modular building sections can be drawn together using tension cables within lateral hollow extruded structural tubes beneath and/or above the cleanroom, the tension system utilizing jackscrews to pull everything tight. Because the utility panels are at the same longitudinal location in the building sections, the joined structure and resulting open space “ballroom” style cleanroom has the utility panels aligned with each other inside the cleanroom.
A MAINTENANCE ENCLOSURE AND METHOD FOR MAINTAINING WIND TURBINE BLADES
Disclosed is a maintenance enclosure (1) for use when maintaining a wind turbine blade (2). The maintenance enclosure (1) comprising a ceiling (3), a floor (4) and at least two side walls (5a, 5b) extending between the ceiling (3) and the floor (4). The maintenance enclosure also comprising a first adjustable opening (6) in a first side wall (5a) of the at least two side walls (5a, 5b) adapted for receiving the wind turbine blade (2) and a second adjustable opening (7) in a second side wall (5b) of the at least two side walls (5a, 5b) adapted for receiving the wind turbine blade (2). The first adjustable opening (6) and the second adjustable opening (7) are positioned opposite each other and the said floor (4) comprises a slit (8) extending at least a portion of the distance between the first adjustable opening (6) and the second adjustable opening (7). Also, the slit (8) is adapted for receiving the wind turbine blade (2). Furthermore, a method for maintaining a wind turbine blade (2) is disclosed.
Transportable hybrid power system
A transportable, deployable power system comprising a hybrid power box containing solar panels, wind turbine(s), fuel cells, fuel reformers, and other energy sources. The system could also include waste water and potable water inlet and outlet ports for water treatment. It will also allow for shelf mounted solar and wind turbine installation for disaster recovery, backup power for telecommunication, military power, Homeland Security power, off grid homes and water and wastewater packaging domestically and internationally. The present invention is ideal for any situation requiring immediate power and/or water treatment, such as remote construction sites or in emergency situations. The hybrid power box can be mounted to a standard shipping truck, train, or ship, and transported over land to the desired location.
CONTAINERIZED ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM
A portable container is provided which comprises a passing room(s) allowing entry into a second area into a first area, the passing room having at least two openings with a walkway in-between. Barrier device(s) can be located in the walkway but not connected to the first or second opening. A control room(s) can also be provided, the control room being connected to the passing room(s).
MULTIPURPOSE RELOCATABLE STRUCTURE AND LIFTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A multipurpose relocatable structure includes a floor system, a framework secured to the floor system, and walls coupled to the framework. The walls include a number of panels that are secured along adjacent vertical edges. The multipurpose relocatable structure may include a preconfigured interior, one or more doors having an emergency escape hatch, a protected electrical connector, an environmental control system that is configurable between operational and transport configurations, and lifting corners having securement apertures.
