An architectural structural system comprises a structural beam and a structural connector. The structural beam includes a first c-beam and a second c-beam adjacently disposed one in parallel to the other. Each of the c-beams has opposed first and second ends. The structural connector has a plurality of transverse blades with opposed faces, one of the plurality of blades being connectedly disposed between the first and second c-beams.

There are currently two major types of exterior building envelope finishing systems: window wall systems, and curtain wall systems. Window wall systems use panels which fit between concrete floor slaps, and hence, are prone to leakage and are not aesthetically appealing. Curtain wall systems are installed proud of the concrete slabs, so have better performance, but are expensive to install. The system of the invention has the high performance of a curtain wall system, with the ease of installation of a window wall system. The invention uses rigid panels which cover the face of a building like a curtain wall system, providing a complete gasketed seal without the need for caulking as in the case of window wall systems. The vertical mullions are notched, so that the mullions can be easily anchored to the upper and lower surfaces of the concrete slabs.

A main structure that can be constructed using either solid steel assembly (32) or reinforced concrete assembly (33) acts as the main structural component for new and remodel construction. The main structure whether it uses reinforced concrete assembly (33) or steel assembly is comprised of cells of equilateral size and each cell has a passage between inner and outer wall created using this method of construction. The inner wall uses the passages to secure accompanying structures and systems to a wall that use this structural system. The outer wall uses the passages to secure retaining assembly (34) to the structure. Retaining assembly (34) holds a strata of soil to the wall and creates plateaus along face of outer wall. The plateaus created by securing retaining assembly (34) to main assembly's (32) or (33) give vegetation a place to be planted and secured to a wall that incorporate the construction method of this invention. The passages between the inner and outer walls also nurture the vegetation attached to a structure built using this invention's method of construction by allowing direct access to the roots. By allowing direct access to the roots of the vegetation planted on a structure utilizing the construction method of this invention each plant can receive the optimum amount of irrigation, drainage, and fertilizer.

The invention relates to the technical field of biological and medical in vitro detection, and discloses a cell separating micro-structural system. The cell separating micro-structural system comprises a microfluidic chip, wherein the microfluidic chip comprises a sample inlet, a sample outlet, a cell capturing region, a side flushing inlet, a recycling outlet and a cleaning inlet; a plurality of microcolumns are formed inside the cell capturing region to form a microcolumn array; the microcolumn array is distributed in a gradient manner, thus showing microcolumn distance gradient change and microcolumn dimension gradient change; each layer of the microcolumn array is distributed in the form of a regular trapezoid gradually dispersing from the top layer to the bottom layer; the horizontal cross section shape of each microcolumn is divided into an upper part and a lower part; the upper part close to the sample inlet is similar to a normal isosceles triangle, wherein the two isosceles sides are in an symmetrical inner-concave circular arc shape; and the lower part close to the sample outlet is in an inverted isosceles triangle shape. The cell separating micro-structural system disclosed by the invention is used for separating, gathering, counting and recycling CTC or UETC, wherein detecting efficiency exceeds 90%; and moreover, damages of the microcolumn array on captured cells when a fluid impacts the captured cells are lowered.

A prestressed or post-tensioned composite structural system for bridge floors, road beds, pedestrian walkways, building floors, building walls, or similar structural elements. The structural system comprises a composite structure comprising an unfilled grating as a base component, and a prestressed, post-tensioned reinforced concrete slab as a top component. The base grating component is preferably a plurality of main bearing bars without any distribution bars or tertiary bars. The upper portions of the main bearing bars are embedded in the concrete component permitting horizontal shear transfer and creating a composite deck structure which maximizes the use of tensile strength of steel and the compressive strength of concrete.

An lens for correcting human vision, for example an IOL, contact lens or corneal inlay or onlay, that carries and interior phase or layer comprising a pattern of individual transparent adaptive displacement structures. In one embodiment, the displacement structures are actuated by a shape memory polymer (SMP) material or other polymer that is adjustable in shape in response to applied energy. The SUP can be designed to be selectively adjustable in volumetric dimension, modulus of elasticity and / or permeability. The adaptive optic means of the invention can be used to create highly localized surface corrections in the lens to correct higher order aberrations—which types of surfaces cannot be fabricated into and IOL and then implanted. The system of displacement structures also can provide spherical corrections in the lens.

The invention relates to a dispatching method for the task management of a single-chip multiprocessor, which is based on a structural system of the multi-instruction multi-data-stream (MIMD) of a single-chip multiprocessor. The dispatching method performs task dispatching, task distribution, task management and sub-processor management for parallel tasks running in a system, and realizes the parallel treatment of the single-chip multiprocessor. The dispatching method for the task management of the single-chip multiprocessor can be applied to a single-chip multiprocessor system composed of various sub-processors which have independent local ROM, such as an MCU of an 8051 structural system. Further, the sub-processors can be homogeneous, and also can be heterogeneous.

A toeboard for a raised working platform advantageously cooperates with known construction systems to simplify securement and allow efficient setup. Each toeboard has connectors at either end of an elongate body member. Each connector has two fingers extending in a manner to intersect with a longitudinal axis of the elongate member. The connectors at opposite ends of the elongate body have an opposite orientation of said fingers where the fingers of one connector are 180 degrees out of alignment with the fingers of the other connector. This arrangement allows toeboards to connect easily in an end to end manner as well as in a perpendicular manner.

An article of manufacture for building concrete structures from precast blocks and the process for making the structural system. The block comprises one or more annular tire wall stack units embedded in reinforced concrete. Prestressing and / or post-tensioning structural reinforcing techniques are used with assembled building blocks. The blocks are made by placing used tire stacks in a form that centralizes the stacks so that reinforced concrete can be placed around them while maintaining a hollow core through the stacks. Horizontal interlocking between blocks uses reinforcing bars and / or a tongue and groove configuration, and / or post-tension wire strand placed in a recess or post-tension tubes formed in the blocks and mortared in-place during construction. Vertical interlocking between blocks uses a tongue-and-groove interlock, shiplap splicing, and reinforcing bars. Post-tension wire strand, pipe, or H-piles are placed in and through the stacks and mortared in-place during construction.

Substrate-free mechanical structural systems comprised of interconnected subsystems of electronic and / or electromechanical components are provided.
