An elongated structural barrier is provided including a base, a first panel extending upward from the base, a first sealer wall extending downward and transversely to the base, a second panel joined with the first panel and extending upwardly, a lower wedge extending upward from the base adjacent the first sealer wall, and a core compartment bounded by the lower wedge and the panels, with an open face defined above the lower wedge and offering a view into the core compartment. The lower wedge can include a flange to produce a first cavity of the compartment, in which an intumescent core can be positioned and configured to expand into a second cavity of the compartment when it swells. A second flange can oppose the first flange to further secure the core in the first cavity, and can form a bloom gap therebetween. A related method of use also is provided.

A coving installation device includes a unitary structure having a first magnetic face, a second magnetic face, and a third magnetic face. The second face is joined with the first face by an arced side. The third face is joined with the second face by a linear side. The third face is joined with the first face by an angled side. The second face is perpendicular to the first face and the third face is perpendicular to the second face. The first, second, and third faces protrude from the arced, linear, and angled sides. A clean room installer using the coving installation device can independently install coving without assistance.

A method for correlating interaction effectiveness to contact time, the method including receiving first data pertaining to one or more first time and location events caused by a first object in a physical space, wherein the one or more first time and location events comprise one or more first times and one or more first locations of the first object in the physical space; receiving second data pertaining to one or more second time and location events caused by a second object in the physical space, wherein the one or more second time and location events comprise one or more second times and one or more second locations of the second object in the physical space; determining a interaction time between the first object and the second object; receiving interaction effectiveness data; and generating a time-effectiveness data point by associating the interaction effectiveness data with the interaction time.

In one embodiment, a method for measuring an effectiveness of an intervention is disclosed. The method includes receiving first data pertaining to a gait of a person from a smart floor tile, determining, based on the first data, whether a propensity for a fall event for the person satisfies a threshold propensity condition based on (i) an amount of gait deterioration satisfying a threshold deterioration condition, or (ii) the amount of gait deterioration satisfying the threshold deterioration condition within a threshold time period. The method includes, responsive to determining the propensity satisfies the threshold propensity condition, performing an intervention based on at least the propensity. The method may include receiving second data pertaining to the gait of the person from the smart floor tile. The method may include determining an effectiveness of the intervention based on the second data.

A method for tracking potential disease spread in a physical space is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at a first time in the time series from a device in the physical space, first data pertaining to a first initiation event of a first path of a first living creature in the physical space; receiving, at a second time in the time series from smart floor tiles in the physical space, second data pertaining to a first time and location event caused by the first living creature in the physical space, wherein the first time and location event comprises a first initial location of the first living creature in the physical space; and correlating, the first initiation event and the first initial location to generate a first starting point comprising a first starting time and first starting location of a first path of the first living creature in the physical space.

Disclosed herein is a method for analyzing a path traversed by a person within a physical space. The method comprises: receiving, from a plurality of smart floor tiles in the physical space, data associated with the path traversed by the person, wherein the plurality of smart floor tiles comprise a plurality of sensing devices capable of sensing pressure at a plurality of locations in the physical space; identifying, based on the pressure sensed by the plurality of sensing devices of the smart floor tiles, a pattern in the path traversed by the person in the physical space; determining, based on the pattern, the person has a potential medical condition; and in response to determining the potential medical condition for the person, performing a preventative action.

A baseboard element including a nose portion, a riser portion, and a wall groove portion coupled to the riser portion. The nose portion includes a nose bottom section and a nose face section. The riser portion includes a riser section extending approximately perpendicular to the nose bottom section and a riser bend coupled to the nose portion. The riser section is substantially planar and defines a plane. The nose portion is positioned only on a first side of the plane defined by the riser section, and the wall groove portion is positioned only on a second side of the plane, the second side opposite the first side. The nose bottom section comprises a nose bottom edge at a terminal end of the nose bottom section. No structure of the baseboard element extends beyond the terminal end of the nose bottom section from the terminal end. The nose bottom edge of the nose bottom section is either approximately at the plane or closer to the plane than the nose face section is to the plane. Other embodiments are also provided.

A system for installing pre-painted moldings. The system includes pre-painted moldings each configured to be fastened to a wall by fasteners. The system also includes a caulk material, filler material, concealer material, and touchup paint each color matched to the paint color applied to the moldings. The caulk material is configured to fill a gap defined between each of the moldings and the wall to which the molding is fastened. The filler material is configured to fill a gap defined between any abutting portions of the moldings. The concealer material is configured to conceal any surface disturbances caused by the installation of the fasteners. The touchup paint is configured to adhere to the paint pre-painted on the moldings. The system may also include a marker configured to apply a coating color matched to the paint applied to the moldings, a scraping tool, and/or a buffing tool.

A kit for crown moldings includes crown moldings, corner moldings, joint covers, clips, and corner stems. The clips and corner stems may be secured along the walls (e.g., a room) of a structure at its ceiling. The crown moldings and joint covers may be friction fit with the clips, and the corner moldings may be friction fit with the corner stems. The crown moldings, corner moldings, and joint covers may be constructed of a polymer, such as polyurethane. The crown moldings, corner moldings, and joint covers may be secured without any direct nail, screw, or glue attachment and do not require coping cuts to install.
