A multi-room structure includes a plurality of separate cabins or rooms, each of which can be accessed by an external door. The size of the multi-room structure is such that a standard tractor trailer suitable for hauling a standard shipping container can readily move the multi-room structure to a needed location, such as a disaster, to alleviate homelessness, or to house immigrants or migrants. The standard size of the multi-room structure is such that parts for standard shipping containers can provide the structural elements needed for the multi-room structure, reducing production costs.

The subject disclosure relates to rapid deployable, self-powered, alternative emergency response facilities, systems and methods.

An emergency restoration system is disclosed. The emergency restoration system including a base and a tower pivotally connected to the base. The tower including at least one tower section and at least one insulated tower section pivotally connected to the at least one tower section, the insulated tower section including at least one insulator pivotally connected thereto.

A low cost and disaster relief housing solution includes the combination of preconstructed in-service or out-of-service shipping containers that are integrated with renewable and sustainable materials to complete the buildout of the shipping containers. The embodiment also includes folding solutions that allows for a superior logistic solution for shipping and site integration.

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.

A factory built home system is provided. The system may include a factory built housing unit fabricated in a shipping container size or a modular unit built with steel frame. The housing unit may also include a grey water sewer line and a black water sewer line. The housing unit may include a hydropanel to create and store drinkable/potable water. The housing unit may contain a fully furnished kitchen and a fully outfitted bathroom. The housing unit may include stationary, transforming and robotic furniture within transforming space, wiring throughout to support on site and remote, internet controlled robotic furniture, lighting and security features. The housing unit may include solar panels, inverters and battery systems with AC/DC power options. A plurality of factory built housing units may be installed beside each other and/or stacked to form a multi-dwelling unit.

Various embodiments are described herein for mobile units having an interior defined by fewer than four side walls, the mobile units being adapted to be interconnected with at least one like or different mobile unit, the at least one like or different mobile unit having fewer than four side walls, thereby to jointly form a large interior room with a longitudinal support structure for the roof structure of at least one of the mobile units.

A solar mounting system stored within a shipping container prior to deployment and wherein the mounting system includes: laterally extending beams that extend outwardly from the top of the shipping container; support mounts connected to the laterally extending beams at positions over the top of the shipping container and at the ends of the laterally extending beams; a first set of higher longitudinal beams spanning between the support mounts; a second set of lower longitudinal beams spanning between ends of the laterally extending beams at positions beside the shipping container; a plurality of PV module support rails extending between the first and second sets of longitudinal beams; and PV modules mounted onto the PV module support rails such that the PV modules slope downwardly from above the center to beyond the sides of the shipping container.

A multipurpose relocatable structure according to various embodiments comprises: (1) a floor system; (2) a framework secured adjacent the floor system, the framework comprising: (a) a plurality of corner posts, (b) a pair of upper end posts, and (c) a pair of upper side posts; (3) a ceiling pan secured adjacent the framework; (4) a plurality of walls secured adjacent the framework; and (5) a door comprising an access hole and a hatch disposed adjacent the access hole to selectively prevent passage of a person through the access hole.

A computer system of a finishing center, such as a mobile finishing center, includes a tool that allows a customer to preview or create new designs for apparel before purchase and before laser finishing. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. Based on a laser input file with a pattern, a laser will burn or ablate the pattern onto apparel. With the tool, the customer will be able to preview, create, make changes, and view images of a design, in real time, before purchase and burning or ablation by a laser. Input to the tool can include fabric template images, laser input files, and damage input. In an implementation, the customer or another user can also move, rotate, scale, and warp the image input.
