At least one panel mount bracket is connected to each board and protrudes from the rear surface and includes a first end flange extending in a first flange plane parallel with the rear surface of the board and a second end flange. The panels are arranged spaced apart with the rear surfaces facing each other such that the at least one panel mount bracket of the respective panel form at least one pair of aligned panel mount brackets, wherein said brackets are connected to each other by means of the flange connection element which is connected to the end flanges of the brackets such that the flange connection element is supported by the brackets.

Aspects of the present invention relate to a wall assembly for mounting a wall in a residential or commercial building space. The wall assembly has a wall body having an upper region configured to be laterally supported at one or more upper surfaces thereof to maintain the wall body in a substantially upright position, and a lower region configured to be laterally supported at one or more lower surfaces thereof to maintain the wall body in a substantially upright position. The wall assembly further has at least one lateral support comprising an engagement portion configured to engage the one or more upper surfaces of the upper region or one or more lower surfaces of the lower region of the wall body. The wall body has a unitary body having a molded material.

A personal pod system includes panels, each panel extending from a first side to a second side, each having a solid filler panel engaged with a flanking panel; the of panels are to secure together to create an interior area; a first connection to connect two of the plurality of panels together, the first connection having a mullion having an L-shape and engaged with a flanking frame of a first panel; one or more bolts to secure the mullion to the flanking frame; the flanking frame having a protrusion to extend over a front surface of the solid filler panel; an interior layer of acoustic material secured to the interior area of the panels; and a door engaged with the panels to provide access to the interior area; the connection is to provide a seamless appearance on an exterior of the personal pod system.

A storage system is described where goods are stored in containers and the containers are stored in stacks. Above the stacks runs a grid network of tracks on which load handling devices run. The load handling devices take containers from the stacks and deposit then at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit then at stations where goods may be picked out. The framework may be provided with one or more of the following services: power, power control, heating, lighting, cooling, sensing, and data logging. A method of partitioning the storage system prevents the spread of fire or prevent damage caused by sprinkler activation.

A structural stud post assembly comprising a center receiver section having opposing receiver channels formed by side walls and angled flanges, and a pair of raceway inserts also defining a raceway channel for accepting wiring and equipment to be disposed in the raceway. The raceways can be installed in the receiver channels to accept and accommodate wiring and equipment. The center receiver comprises a thermal break at about a midpoint to prevent there from being a metal-to-metal thermally conductive pathway through the stud. The structural stud post may be used in the construction of modular building systems.

A system for enhancing sound includes a structure defining a first portion of an oblong enclosure that forms an approximated double ellipse profile and positioned between a first area proximate a first speaker driver and a second area proximate the listener, the first portion of the oblong enclosure forming a first part of the approximated double ellipse profile; and a second portion of the oblong enclosure that forms the approximated double ellipse profile and positioned between a third area proximate a second speaker driver and a fourth area proximate the listener, the second portion of the oblong enclosure forming a second part of the approximated double ellipse profile. The first portion and the second portion are shaped such that sound emitted from the first speaker driver and the second speaker driver is reflected and focused toward the listener.

A system for reversibly dividing a space is disclosed. Independent panels, with track followers attached to both narrow sides, move along parallel tracks. The panels start in an overhead storage space. The tracks are shaped such that as the panels move from the storage space into the space to be divided, one panel stops higher and the next panel slides down and then under the first panel. These panels preferably form a single-plane divider in the space.

A system and method for handling shipping containers is described. The container handling system comprises a crane, the crane comprising crane load handling devices. The container handling system further comprises conveyance means, the conveyance means further comprising transversal load handling devices. The system further comprises storage and sortation means for storing the containers in a series of stacks disposed beneath a grid, the grid comprising a series of load handling devices operable thereon. The crane load handling device removes a container from a ship, transports it to transversal load handling means operable on a conveyor. The container is moved on the conveyor to a transfer point where it is collected by a robotic load handling device for transport to the storage and sortation area.

The invention relates to a dry partition wall system (1) comprising a plurality of wall elements (2; 2); a floor-side connection element (3) extending over several wall elements (2; 2), a ceiling-side connection element (4) extending over several wall elements (2; 2), wherein the plurality of wall elements (2; 2) are arranged side by side and are retained on the floor-side connection element (3) and on the ceiling side-connection element (4) and thus jointly form a partition wall, and wherein the wall elements (2; 2) are of multi-layer design. This dry partition wall system (1) is characterized in that each wall element (2) comprises a planking (22, 23) on both sides, with an insulating layer arranged in between, that one of the plankings (23) is of multi-part design, and that the plankings (22, 23) encompass the floor-side connection element (3) and the ceiling-side connection element (4) at the outer side. The invention relates further to a method for installing a dry partition wall system (I) of this kind. By means of the invention the installation of the dry partition wall system (1) is facilitated and an attractive optical appearance with good sound insulation effect is achieved.

An exemplary robotic parking device of the present disclosure includes a number of stacks of containers. The stacks being positioned within a frame structure including uprights and a horizontal grid disposed above the stacks. The grid having substantially perpendicular rails on which load handling devices can run. Cars or vehicles are positioned in containers and are moved into and out of the stacks by the robotic handling devices running on the grid. The cars are put into the grid at entry points that may be positioned at points under the stacks.
