STRUCTURAL MODULES FOR CONCRETE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
A containerized, transportable, pre-engineered, pre-fabricated, pre-assembled, adjustable, structural modular building system is disclosed, comprising a plurality of structural modules comprising a plurality of horizontal structural decks and vertical structural frames to be used in building construction. The building system is transportable world-wide using existing standardized ISO shipping methodologies of truck, train and shipping vessel. The structural modules may be expanded and contracted to vary the height, length, and width of the structural module based on building specifications. In such, the structural modules may be used for buildings having various floor dimensions, and may form self-contained structural elements within the building structure. In a single module configuration, the bottom horizontal structural deck is positioned between a first side deck and a second side deck. The first and second side decks are each rotationally engaged to each side of the bottom deck to form a building module. A track system slidingly engages with a plurality of structural frames and includes a locking mechanism to retain the plurality of structural frames in position along a length of the each of the bottom deck, the first side deck and the second side deck. A plurality of corrugations affixed to each of the bottom deck, the first side deck, and the second side deck to form a surface whereon concrete is poured.
Appliance lockdown for expandable shelter
A system including a frame and a pair wheel of assemblies to engage with one or more tracks of a structure. The pair of wheel assemblies include a first hub assembly, having a first wheel and a first attachment mechanism to engage with the one or more tracks of the structure, and a second hub assembly having a second wheel and a second attachment mechanism to engage with the one or more tracks of the structure. The system further includes an elongated rod coupling the first hub assembly to the second hub assembly, where a movement of the elongated rod causes the first attachment mechanism and the second attachment mechanism to engage with the one or more tracks of the structure.
Foldable Building Structures with Utility Channels and Laminate Enclosures
An enclosure component having a thickness for a building structure having an interior sheathing layer comprising paper; a first structural layer bonded to the interior sheathing layer and comprising a first generally rectangular structural panel of magnesium oxide arranged in a side-by-side relationship with a second generally rectangular structural panel of magnesium oxide to define a first structural panel seam between the first and second structural panels. There is a first binding strip of magnesium oxide positioned over the first structural panel seam and fastened to form a lap joint with the first structural panel and with the second structural panel, so as to bond together the first and second structural panes. The enclosure component includes a first strengthening layer, comprising woven fiber mat, bonded to the first structural layer; and a foam layer with first and second opposing faces comprising a first generally rectangular foam panel and a second generally rectangular foam panel arranged in a side-by-side relationship to define a foam panel seam between the first and second foam panels. The first structural panel seam is offset from the foam panel seam a select distance in a direction generally perpendicular to the thickness. The first strengthening layer is bonded to the first opposing face of the foam layer. The enclosure component also has a second structural layer comprising a third generally rectangular structural panel of magnesium oxide arranged in a side-by-side relationship with a fourth generally rectangular structural panel of magnesium oxide to define a second structural panel seam between the third and fourth structural panels. There is a second binding strip of magnesium oxide positioned over the second structural panel seam and fastened to form a lap joint with the third structural panel and with the fourth structural panel, so as to bond together the third and fourth structural panels. The second structural panel seam is offset from the foam panel seam a select distance in a direction generally perpendicular to the thickness; and the second structural layer is bonded to the second opposing face of the foam layer.

Wheeled assembly for item transport
A transport assembly for a shipping module which has a chassis; a towing element secured to the chassis; two opposed wheels mounted on the chassis; a support assembly secured to the chassis and configured to be positioned in a mating relationship with a shipping module proximate to a lower transverse edge of the shipping module; means for removably securing the support assembly to a shipping module; and a displacement actuator secured between the chassis and the cradle, said displacement actuator for varying the ground clearance of a shipping module when secured to the support assembly.
Visual and Auditory Reducing Enclosure
A device for eliminating auditory and visual distractions for the user. The device is adjustable and features walls comprised of fabric to accomplish its design goal. Extendable poles provide the structure for the device. The tent-like device can quickly expand into its useful position. The device can also quickly collapse. The device can be stored in a storage container for simple transportation.
CABIN MODULE
A cabin module deployable inside a vehicle so as to form at least a portion of an interior of the vehicle. The cabin module comprises a main body and a plurality of external walls. One or more of the plurality of external walls are moveable with respect to the main body. The module has a closed configuration for storage outside the vehicle, in which the plurality of external walls define at least a part of a first form factor of the module. The module has an open configuration for operational deployment in the vehicle, in which the plurality of external walls define at least a part of a second form factor of the module. The cabin module is reversibly changeable between the closed configuration and the open configuration by movement of the one or more external walls. The first form factor is different from the second form factor.
Customizable transportable structures and components therefor
A wall component and other components for a building structure wherein the wall component has a spanning beam spanning the length of the wall component, one or more structural column assemblies positioned between the spanning beam and a floor plate which are structured to carry structural weights and loads received from the spanning beam.
