Abstract:
An impact absorption panel is adapted for playground use and comprises a panel section and a plurality of projections. The panel section is defined by a top surface and a bottom surface. The plurality of projections extend from the bottom surface of the panel section. The plurality of projections have a first stage and a second stage. The first stage is configured to collapse initially when subjected to an impact load. The second stage is configured to provide greater resistance to the impact load than the first stage. The panel section is configured to provide greater resistance to the impact load than the first and second stages. The first stage can also be distinguished from the second stage by virtue of having a comparatively smaller volume.
Abstract:
A vehicle energy harvesting roadway is provided. The vehicle energy harvesting roadway includes a deformable driving surface that is longitudinally flexible and transversely stiff. The deformable driving surface is disposed between a passing vehicle and one or more transducers or one or more compressible hoses.
Abstract:
An impact absorption panel (10, 100) having a top surface (12) and a bottom surface (26), especially for use with paving elements, the top surface (12) including a plurality of drainage channels (14) and a three dimensional textured surface, wherein the drainage channels (14) are in fluid communication with a plurality of drain holes (16), the plurality of drain holes (16) connecting the drainage channels (14) with a plurality of bottom surface channels (38), the channels (14, 38) being defined by sides of a plurality of adjacent projections, the projections forming a shock absorbing structure providing a load distribution that creates an area elastic system capable of distributing energy absorption over a wide area.

Abstract:
Cette dalle comprend au moins deux parois (2,2′ ; 3,3′, 3˝) séparées l'une de l'autre par des structures (3a à 3d ; 4,5 et 5′) d'entretoisement participant à la constitution d'au moins une chambre (6) apte à recevoir un produit de remplissage (13,20,22), chaque paroi (2,2′ ; 3,3′) étant solidaire de la première en lui étant liée par ses bords périphériques (3a à 3d) et, eventuellement, par ses parties en contact avec les structures d'entretoisement (4,5,5′).
Abstract:
An interlocking floor tile assembly is provided, ft includes a first repeating array of spaced apart first tiles interconnected by first bridge portions wherein the first tiles and the first bridge portions define first spaces therebetween. It also includes a second repeating array of spaced apart second tiles interconnected by second bridge portions wherein the second tiles and the second bridge portions define second spaces therebetween. The second tiles are received in the first spaces and the first tiles are received in the second spaces. A shock attenuating tile may be provided in conjunction with the interlocking floor tile assembly to form a ground covering that is suitable for fail risk areas such as playgrounds. The shock attenuating tile preferably includes a plate having an upper side for bearing a load and a plurality of shock absorbing modules depending from an underside of the plate. Each of the shock absorbing modules is integrally formed with the plate.
