Abstract: A method and apparatus according to which a blast resistant shelter is assembled. The blast resistant shelter includes first and second structural members, a third structural member coupled to the first and second structural members, a first airway adjacent the third structural member, and a first blast panel pivotably mounted to the third structural member and adapted to pivot thereabout in response to a blast wave. In a first configuration, the first blast panel is detachably connected to a first portion of the blast resistant shelter and prevented from pivoting about the third structural member so that the first blast panel obstructs air flow through the first airway. In a second configuration, in response to the blast wave, the first blast panel is detached from the first portion of the blast resistant shelter and permitted to pivot about the third structural member to permit air flow through the first airway.

Abstract: An integrated joint sealing system that is incorporated into the edges of a sheathing panel, which also may have a factory bonded weather resistive barrier. The edges of each panel are configured as a shiplap joint, or similarly functioning joint, that is present as either an overlap or underlap on each of the four panel edges. The arrangement of the joints are such that one edge will have an overlap and the opposite edge will have an underlap. A flexible gasket material (or materials) is factory applied to one or both sides (underlap and/or overlap) of the shiplap joint. This flexible gasket material, when overlapped with adjacent shiplap panels, provides a weather resistive seal to limit both water and air penetration.

Abstract: Electromagnetically shielded and self-supporting panels form a shielded enclosure. The use of prefabricated, shielded and self-supporting panels to construct an enclosure reduces the time and cost of constructing such an enclosure.

Abstract: A shielding system includes a plurality of transportable modules, wall panels, or pods that are connectable to form a containment area and to define a radiation barrier. Each of the plurality of transportable modules has a first radiation wall defining the containment area, a second radiation wall spaced apart from the second wall, and a radiation shielding fill material positioned between the first radiation shielding wall and the second radiation shielding wall. The radiation shielding fill material includes one of a superabsorbent polymer (SAP) filling a portion of a void between the first radiation wall and the second radiation wall, or a non-Newtonian fluid completely filling the void between the first radiation wall and the second radiation wall. A quantity of the radiation shielding fill material is sufficient to substantially reduce measurable radiation level outside the containment area.

Abstract: A multi-story building is described, and includes a vertical support core disposed on a foundation, and a plurality of floor plates disposed on the vertical support core in a stacked arrangement. A plurality of sensors are disposed to monitor the vertical support core and the plurality of floor plates. A controller is in communication with the plurality of sensors, and includes a memory device including an instruction set that is executable to determine baseline inputs for the plurality of sensors, dynamically monitor in-use inputs for the plurality of sensors, evaluate the multi-story building based upon the baseline inputs and the in-use inputs from the plurality of sensors and communicate the evaluation to a second controller.

Abstract: A magnetically shielded room reducing pressure felt by a person inside includes an upper shielding body, a side periphery shielding body, and a lower shielding body, all of which define a magnetically shielded inner space. A magnifying lens is located in the upper shielding body. The magnifying lens can magnify and project an incident image from outside to a range of one inner side surface of the magnetically shielded room. so that the range should be 50% or more of the area of the one inner side surface. The range includes most of the area above a line of sight of a person in the magnetically shielded room. The magnifying lens is provided at a position closer to the one inner side surface as a projection target of the lens than the other inner side surface as a non-projection target facing the one inner side surface as the projection target.

Abstract: Rigid wall shelters are used throughout the world for shipping, living quarters, and housing for electronic systems and are energy inefficient. While investigating energy-efficient technologies for rigid wall shelters the discovery was made to insulate the outside of the shelter rather than the inside. Space is often limited inside of the shelter. The invention of an external, re-deployable insulation system was developed. The present invention is an insulating system composed of three main components. The first component is multiple, flexible envelopes filled with insulating materials (which creates a panel). The second component is multiple insulating strips that cover the joint between the panels. The final component is a weatherproof outer covering that protects the entire system from the elements.

Abstract: A shielding enclosure for blocking electromagnetic pulses to protect electrical equipment includes shield panels having a layered structure of conductive sheets and insulating sheets between the conductive sheets with an outward conductive sheet at a first end of the layered structure and an inward conductive sheet at a second end of the layered structure, and a first ground wire connected to the outward conductive sheet for connecting to a ground, and a second ground wire incorporating a rectifier and connected to the inward conductive sheet for connecting to a ground, the rectifier being oriented to restrict the electric current in the second ground wire to flowing from the inward conductive sheet to the ground; where the shield panels are positioned so that the inward conductive sheet generally faces the electrical equipment and the outward conductive sheet generally faces away from the electrical equipment.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a flood vent panel includes a first area, a second area, and a first set of one or more perforations positioned on a first side of the flood vent panel in a location in-between the first area and the second area. The perforations are configured to break when at least a predetermined amount of pressure is applied to a portion of the second area. The flood vent panel is configured to be coupled, at least indirectly, to a structure so as to at least partially block a fluid passageway through an opening in the structure. The break is configured to completely separate the second area from the first area so as to reduce an amount of blockage of the fluid passageway.
