A tile system for covering a surface. The tile system comprises a first tile assembly connected to a second tile assembly by a connector. Each tile assembly comprises a first tile stacked on a second tile, the first tile and the second tile joined to a reinforcing material disposed therebetween. The connector comprises a first component and a second component that is complementary to the first component. The first component is mounted to the first tile assembly, and the second component is mounted to the second tile assembly.

The present invention relates to a prefabricated spiral staircase in which the heights between treads can be freely and finely adjusted, thus being conveniently assembled and installed at installation sites having different story heights.

Improved stripper solutions for removing photoresists from substrates are provided that typically have freezing points below about 0° C. and high loading capacities. The stripper solutions comprise dimethyl sulfoxide, quaternary ammonium hydroxide, and an alkanolamine having at least two carbon atoms, at least one amino substituent and at least one hydroxyl substituent, the amino and hydroxyl substituents attached to two different carbon atoms. Some formulations can additionally contain a secondary solvent. The formulations do not contain tetramethylammonium hydroxide. Methods for use of the stripping solutions are additionally provided.

A cladding or siding assembly for use as cladding or siding for a wall of a building or structure having a face includes at least one panel member and at least two parallel and spaced support rail members which are arranged to allow at least one panel member to slidably interfit in between the support rail members, to be located and be removable at any time during construction or any time later after completion. The panel member is slotted between an upper support rail member and a parallel lower support rail member, whereby at an upper end of the panel member recess slidably interfits with the lower tab member of the upper support rail member having second end leg of perimeter frame within lower recess and the recess at a lower end of the same panel member slidably captures shorter upper tab member of the lower support rail member whereby second end leg is captured in upper recess of lower support rail member. A panel member and method of assembly are also disclosed.

Floor panels are provided with a mechanical locking system having small local protrusions which reduce displacement along the joint when the panels are laying flat on the sub floor and locked vertically and horizontally. A method to install a floor comprising a plurality of rectangular floor panels laying in parallel rows on a sub floor with long and short edges which are connectable to each other along one pair of adjacent long edges and one pair of adjacent short edges.
