Self-supporting roof panel

Title: Self-supporting roof panel

Abstract

A self-supporting panel is used to form building components, including roofs that have no independent supports for the panels between the ends of the panels. The panel system includes a base support or structural component having a top face sheet supported by longitudinally load carrying webs and a layer of insulation on the exterior of the face sheet. The insulation spans the entire face sheet to overlie connectors between the edges of adjacent panels when the panels are assembled to form a wall or roof, to eliminate thermal shorts.

Containers for use in a self supporting assembly

Patent Gillespie, Peter J. (Barrington, IL)

This invention is directed to a container having side walls and end walls forming a body having a generally rectangular cross-section. Means for restraining lateral and rotational movement of the container relative to an adjacent container while allowing relatively unhindered movement perpendicular to the side walls is also included. The lateral and rotational movement is restrained in a plane parallel to the side walls. The means include a projection connected to at least one of the side walls and extending outwardly therefrom to engage the adjacent container. Also part of this invention is an assembly of containers which includes amore »« less

Coded aperture imaging with self-supporting uniformly redundant arrays

Patent Fenimore, Edward E. (Los Alamos, NM)

A self-supporting uniformly redundant array pattern for coded aperture imaging. The present invention utilizes holes which are an integer times smaller in each direction than holes in conventional URA patterns. A balance correlation function is generated where holes are represented by 1's, nonholes are represented by -1's, and supporting area is represented by 0's. The self-supporting array can be used for low energy applications where substrates would greatly reduce throughput. The balance correlation response function for the self-supporting array pattern provides an accurate representation of the source of nonfocusable radiation.

Self supporting heat transfer element

Patent Story, Grosvenor Cook (Livermore, CA); Baldonado, Ray Orico (Livermore, CA)

The present invention provides an improved internal heat exchange element arranged so as to traverse the inside diameter of a container vessel such that it makes good mechanical contact with the interior wall of that vessel. The mechanical element is fabricated from a material having a coefficient of thermal conductivity above about 0.8 W cm.sup.-1.degree. K.sup.-1 and is designed to function as a simple spring member when that member has been cooled to reduce its diameter to just below that of a cylindrical container or vessel into which it is placed and then allowed to warm to room temperature.
