An apparatus for destroying pathogens includes a platform and an LED matrix panel. The platform has a portion configured to permit passage of ultraviolet light therethrough. The LED matrix panel is disposed below the portion of the platform and includes a grid and a plurality of discreetly-controlled, ultraviolet light LEDs (UV LEDs). The grid defines a plurality of cells. Each UV LED is associated with one cell such that the cells direct the ultraviolet light emitted by the UV LEDs upwardly through the portion of the platform to sanitize an object supported on the portion of the platform.

A modular UV panel disposable on a floor surface and configured to selectively transmit ultraviolet (UV) light therefrom to destroy pathogens includes a housing, a platform, a UV light source, a first connector, and a second connector. The housing has a first and second lateral sides forming a cavity therebetween. The platform is supported by the housing and is configured to permit passage of UV light therethrough. The UV light source is disposed within the cavity of the housing and is configured to transmit UV light through the platform. The first connector is disposed along the housing having a first interface configured to enable electrical communication thereacross. The second connector is disposed along the housing having a second interface configured to enable electrical communication thereacross.

A modular floor system including webbing formed by a plurality of interconnected web sections. The web sections include attachment portions that are aligned in the grid layout. The support members are attachable to attachment sections of the web sections so that attached support members are properly aligned and positioned with respect to one another along the grid layout. The modular floor system includes tiles positioned upon and secured to the support members to be supported above the ground surface by the support members. A utility space is defined by and disposed between the ground surface and the supported tiles. Utility cables can be routed through the utility space.

An apparatus and methods lock together pavers on a roof deck to reduce uplift pressure and increase stability and strength in a variety of environmental conditions. More specifically, a paver lock apparatus is placed in grooves on the top side of a multiple of pavers and locked to a stationary object, such as the roof or a pedestal placed on the roof underneath the deck. Roof pavers are manufactured with grooves on the paver surface to hold the paver lock apparatus. The pavers are loose laid on paver pedestals and the paver lock apparatus is laid into the grooves of multiple adjacent pavers and locked into place by connecting the paver lock apparatus to the paver pedestal.

Disclosed is a supporting system for tiles to obtain floorings raised with respect to a reference ground. The supporting system includes a grid having at least three sides defining the perimeter of the grid and a supporting surface on which the tile can rest. At least one first seat is formed within the perimeter of the grid and at least one second seat is formed along the perimeter of the grid in correspondence of an arched recess. The supporting system includes at least one sustaining element resting on the ground and including at least one protruding body inserted in the first or second seat.

The invention relates to hollow-floor elements for use in a hollow-floor. The hollow-floor elements comprise at least two superimposed load-bearing individual panels, which are firmly joined together. Especially preferably the at least one load-bearing individual panel comprises a gypsum fiberboard. In addition, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing such hollow-floor elements.

The present invention refers to a support system for raised flooring made with wooden boards and to the relative flooring obtained by this system. The supporting system is used for obtaining a floor with boards made of wood or similar material wherein the floor is elevated with respect to the reference ground. The supporting system includes a trampling plate and at least three supporting feet fixed to the plate in order to support the plate with respect to the reference ground.

An elevated flooring surface assembly including surface tiles disposed on respective support plates, the corners of which in turn rest on support pedestals disposed upon a fixed surface with a predetermined spacing therebetween to provide for increased degrees of support of the surface tiles above the fixed surface.

In a floor panel (10) including a foamed cement board (1) having at least a foamed cement layer (3), a top plate (5a) attached to an upper surface of the foamed cement board (1), and a bottom plate (5b) attached to a lower surface of the foamed cement board (1). The foamed cement layer (3) is configured so that the layer (3) has a porous hardened cement phase and a fiber dispersed in the phase. Also, the layer (3) has a thickness within a range from 12 to 30 mm and a specific gravity within a range from 0.8 to 1.5. Thereby, the floor panel can be light in weight while desired strengths for the floor panel are established. The floor panel can be readily produced without any complicated processes.
