A foldable wall frame is disclosed and includes first and second track members spaced from each other, each track member having a center web and a pair of opposite side flanges. A plurality of spaced stud elements are positioned between and substantially perpendicular to the track members with each stud element having a first and a second end portion. A first attachment element is provided for pivotally securing the first end portion of each said stud element to the first track member. A second attachment element is also provided for pivotally securing the second end portion of each stud element to the second track member. The first and second pivotal attachment elements enable the first track member to be folded down proximate the second track member for storage and transportation, and to be unfolded at a construction site for installation into a building structure.

The present invention relates generally to reinforced carbon nanotubes, and more particularly to reinforced carbon nanotubes having a plurality of microparticulate carbide or oxide materials formed substantially on the surface of such reinforced carbon nanotubes composite materials. In particular, the present invention provides reinforced carbon nanotubes (CNTs) having a plurality of boron carbide nanolumps formed substantially on a surface of the reinforced CNTs that provide a reinforcing effect on CNTs, enabling their use as effective reinforcing fillers for matrix materials to give high-strength composites. The present invention also provides methods for producing such carbide reinforced CNTs.

The invention provides a side vehicle-body structure of an automotive vehicle. The side vehicle-body structure can increase the effects of impact absorption when an impact load is input to a side door from a vehicle body side and the effects of load diffusion to each part of the vehicle body. The side vehicle-body structure includes: a side door which is formed on a side surface part of the vehicle body and opens and closes an opening part for getting on and off from a rear seat; an anti-collision pole which is disposed on the side door in a manner that the anti-collision pole extends along the front and rear direction of the vehicle body; a side plate internal side member which constitutes a vehicle side part which includes a peripheral part on vehicle body rear side of the opening part for getting on and off; a first reinforcing part which extends along the peripheral part on the vehicle body rear side of the opening part for getting on and off and engages the outside of a compartment of the side plate internal side member so as to form a first closed cross section with the side plate internal side member; a second reinforcing member which is configured such that the second reinforcing member is partly overlapped with the anti-collision pole when the side door is closed if viewed from the vehicle body side and the second reinforcing member engages the outside of the compartment of the first reinforcing member so as to form a second closed cross section with the first reinforcing member.

A bond is created between a gypsum matrix formed from an aqueous acidic gypsum slurry comprising a monomer mixture. The monomer mixture is composed of a monomer having acidic functionality and a monomer having hydroxyl or amine functionality. A silane-based sizing composition is coated onto glass fibers causing a cross-linking network of silane and monomer mixture to form during curing of the gypsum board. Hydrophilic water extraction at the gypsum matrix-sizing interface reduces void formation and promotes bonding with the crosslinked monomer mixture and growth of smaller gypsum crystals within larger crystals in microstructurally identifiable regions adjacent to the glass fiber.

Hydrophilic water extraction at the gypsum matrix-sizing interface reduces void formation and promotes bonding with the crosslinked monomer mixture and growth of smaller gypsum crystals within larger crystals in microstructurally identifiable regions adjacent to the glass fiber. Alternatively, the silane based sizing composition has branched chains that diffuse into a wet gypsum mix containing the monomer mixture. During gypsum cure, the diffusion and crosslinking of monomer mixture triggers formation of interpenetrating pseudo polymeric networks within a microstructurally identifiable region adjacent to the glass fiber. Bonds formed between the gypsum matrix and the silane based sizing composition increase the strength, flexure resistance and nail pull out resistance of the gypsum board.

The strength and reliability of railroad track structures, such as frogs, crossings, and guardrails, is enhanced. Filler members and filler blocks are fitted in to support and strengthen the structures. The filler members and filler blocks provide better matching and alignment of load transfer surfaces. The track structures with the improved components are more easy to align and assemble. The strength of the assembled track and structures is also increased, and the structures are more easily maintained.
