Filed:

Feb 4, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/825972

Inventors:

Michael J. Napolitano - South Windsor CT

International Classification:

B25F 100

US Classification:

7170

Abstract:

A roofing tool comprises a trowel blade and a pivotal clamping arm for use in the installation of torch-fused roofing material. A shaft is mounted to a shank which extends from the trowel blade and mounts the trowel handle. The shaft pivotally mounts the clamp arm. The clamp arm is configured so that the forward portion of the arm and the forward tip of the trowel blade cooperate to form a clamp.

Abstract:

Methods and systems for designing, testing, and validating genome designs based on rules or constraints or conditions or parameters or features and scoring are described herein. A computer-implemented method includes receiving data for a known genome and a list of alleles, identifying and removing occurrences of each allele in the known genome, determining a plurality of allele choices with which to replace occurrences in the known genome, generating a plurality of alternative gene sequences for a genome design based on the known genome, wherein each alternative gene sequence comprises a different allele choice, applying a plurality of rules or constraints or conditions or parameters or features to each alternative gene sequence by assigning a score for each rule or constraint or condition or parameter or feature in each alternative gene sequence, resulting in scores for the applied plurality of rules or constraints or conditions or parameters or features, scoring each alternative gene sequence based on a weighted combination of the scores for the plurality of rules or constraints or conditions or parameters or features, and selecting at least one alternative gene sequence as the genome design based on the scoring.

Inventors:

Michael J. Napolitano - Coventry CT, US

International Classification:

E06C 7/48

Abstract:

A ladder stabilizing system for incorporation into a roofing system and for receiving and releasably retaining a ladder therein. The ladder stabilizing system includes a mounting plate disposed between layers of the roofing material and further includes a ladder bracket fixedly attached to the mounting plate and includes a section adapted to accommodate the features of the edge of the roofing system. The ladder bracket further includes a set of lateral supports for receiving the ladder there between and retention members for releasably securing the ladder to the ladder stabilizing system.
