Abstract: The invention is an interlocking, modular system utilizing reconfiguration and repositioning of two basic elements which together comprise the basic “Modular Metamorphosis Base-Pair Unit™.” The basic “base-pair” unit is composed of one horizontal support platform and one vertical support pedestal whose design enables repositioning the elements of the Base-Pair Unit™ into multiple functional units (furniture and storage) as well as aesthetic (design or decorative) entities, in a parsimonious and space-saving fashion. Accessory elements that further extend, subdivide, enhance, or embellish the invention may be stored within the integrally configured and interchangeable storage units contained in the hollowed out base-pair elements. The interlock assembly system is accomplished without tools and predicated on the inherent complimentarily of the architectural design of the base-pair elements, as the invention does not use legs. The invention enables space transformation from eating to study to sleep to play space by reconfiguring the base-pair elements to form different types of furniture that address the needs of the moment.

Abstract: This invention pertains to a method for remediating, detoxifying and containing various types of asbestos fibers and asbestos containing materials, such as crocidolite (and other forms of Riebeckite), and tremolite. The end-product of the method may be reclaimed or recycled as useable surfacing, structural and decorative materials. In some embodiments of the invention some end-products of the process may be used as a synthetic gemstone, counter-surfacing material cutting tool, resin for manufacture of furniture products, while others may be used to reclaim natural sand. In one embodiment of this invention crocidolite or other forms of reibeckite or tremolite asbestos debris in loose form or as a component of asbestos cement or other asbestos containing products is converted to a form of engineered quartz, yielding as a synthetic form of the gemstone Tiger's Eye or Hawk's eye. This end-product bears unique and enhanced aesthetic qualities over other types of engineered quartz, called chatoyancy (an optical effect that arises either from the fibrous structure of a material or from fibrous inclusions or cavities and is sometimes likened to the sheen off a spool of silk). The end product therefore achieves luminous more natural-looking effect, while retaining the other desirable features of engineered quartz, such as strength, imperviousness to heat, and resistance to acids and microbial contamination, and reduces the need for the addition of decorative resinous materials which diminish the endurance features of the material.
