Wooden module
A wooden module may include four cross-sectionally square longitudinal pieces of timber, at least six cross-sectionally square transverse pieces of timber, and at least two cross-sectionally square plugs, which may be connected to one another via a plurality of connection plugs. The four longitudinal pieces of timber may be arranged parallel to and spaced apart from one another such that the four longitudinal pieces of timber span a square. The at least six transverse pieces of timber may be arranged over a length of the four longitudinal pieces of timber and may be arranged between the four longitudinal pieces of timber. The at least two plugs may be arranged vertically parallel to one another and to at least four vertical transverse pieces of timber on at least two horizontal transverse pieces of timber and may project from a lateral face of the wooden module.
NESTED MASONRY BLOCK MANUFACTURING SYSTEM AND METHOD
A masonry block set is disclosed that includes a first block having a first rectangular body and a first rectangular protrusion from a front face of the first rectangular body. A second block has a second rectangular body and a second rectangular protrusion from a front face of the second rectangular body. The first block and the second block can be combined to form a nested block pair where a front face of the first rectangular protrusion abuts the front face of the second rectangular body and a front face of the second rectangular protrusion abuts the front face of the first rectangular body.

BULLET RESISTANT WALL SYSTEM
A bullet resistant wall system including ballistic paver blocks constructed, configured, and arranged to form a wall having at least two adjacent individual layers. The at least two adjacent individual layers include multiple adjacent rows of the ballistic paver blocks. The ballistic paver blocks are formed from wet ballistic concrete prepared without an addition of a preformed foam or wet ballistic concrete prepared without an addition of a stabilizing agent.

SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR MOUNTING A LIGHTWEIGHT ARCHITECTURAL MASONRY PRODUCT TO A BUILDING
The present subject matter relates to systems, devices, and methods for mounting one or more lightweight architectural masonry units to a building support structure. An elongated track includes a web and opposed edge portions that form a pair of slide channels, the elongated track being configured to be mounted to the building support structure. A connecting member includes a base portion configured to retain the connecting member to the channels but is movable within the channels along the track, and a flange portion is configured to connect to a first lightweight architectural masonry unit of the one or more lightweight architectural masonry units. A fixation member includes a first end configured to connect to the elongated track and a second end configured to connect to the lightweight architectural masonry unit, the fixation member being configured to retain the first lightweight architectural masonry unit in place relative to the elongated track.
Angular offset stacking building block
In some embodiments, a building block includes alignment elements that interlink with a similar block with a positional offset. For example, the positional offset may be linear and/or rotational. For example, the second cinder block may be rotated with respect to the first block on which it is supports. Optionally, protrusions from the top of the block are positioned to interlink to the vertical slots at a fixed offset between the blocks. Optionally, the protrusions are formed by channels on a mold and/or a mold head. In some embodiments, a structure may be built stacked blocks. Optionally, a decorative face is configured to form a continuous decorated surface across offset blocks. In some embodiments a building block includes a calibration feature. For example, the block may include a ridge on the top of the block that may be shaved and/or ground to adjust the height of the block.
