A method for operating a track guidance system including at least one floor element includes specifying a destination point of at least one object on the at least one floor element, and moving the at least one object along the at least one floor element toward the specified destination point. As the at least one object moves, the movement is tracked along the at least one floor element and movement information is transmitted at least to a further object on the at least one floor element or to a first of the at least one floor element.

A method for operating a track guidance system including at least one raised floor element includes planning at least one movement of at least one object on the at least one floor element, transmitting at least one control signal for carrying out the planned at least one movement to the object with the aid of an activatable marking on the at least one floor element, and carrying out the planned at least one movement of the at least one object with the aid of an activatable marking on the at least one floor element based upon the at least one control signal.

The present disclosure provides a paver lockdown system that prevents strong wind from uplifting pavers from pedestals installed on rooftops.

A flooring element is provided for a raised floor including removable flooring panels and a supporting structure with a load bearing surface. The flooring element includes a warning element operable for moving between an inactive position in which the warning element is substantially concealed by the surface and an active position in which the warning element projects beyond the surface to form a visual hazard warning indicator. The flooring element may be for example a flooring panel, a stringer, a pedestal, an insert for a pedestal or an insert for inserting between a sub-floor void and a flooring panel.

An access floor panel assembly including (1) a plurality of access floor panels arranged edge-to-edge and (2) a plurality of spaced pedestals. The plurality of access floor panels are positioned above a subfloor by the plurality of pedestals. Each of the plurality of access floor panels includes (1) a support layer and a floor finish layer on top of the support layer and (2) four edges. At least one of the four edges has a tongue connector or a groove connector, which are configured to form a tongue and groove connection when joined. Each of the tongue connector and each of the groove connector is formed by the support layer and the floor finish layer.

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 raised floor element for a raised floor includes an upper floor panel with a limited free space configured to adjoin the upper floor panel to a bottom, at least two functional elements, and at least one connecting element configured to connect to at least one further raised floor element. At least one of the functional elements is configured to be actuated by a control device.
