US 7673429 B2Abstract
A ceiling system having a primary grid network which includes a plurality of grid members that are in generally perpendicular relation and form points of intersection. The ceiling system includes one or more joint clips, each of which is attached to the grid network at a point of intersection. Each joint clip partitions the primary grid network into smaller networks, which move independently of one another. At the same time, the appearance of an overall primary grid network is preserved.
(1) in a connection in the grid between a main beam and a pair of cross beams, wherein each of the pair extends from an opposite side of the main beam,
(2) permits, during an earthquake, the main beam and each of the pair of cross beams to move independently of one another, without transmitting horizontal forces between or among the beams;
(3) is formed of a first segment extending over, and movable along, the main beam; and
(4) second and third identical segments extending laterally, on opposite. sides, from the main beam, each of which slidably supports a cross beam,
the first segment has a track on each side of the main beam, and
(5) the second and third segments are each separately slidably supported in one of the tracks of the first segment,
by using one of the joint clips at connections along a selected main beam in the ceiling grid, the area in the ceiling grid on one side of the main beam is isolated from forces created in the area in the ceiling grid on the other side of the main beam, during an earthquake.
2. The joint clip of claim 1 wherein an isolated area is 2,500 ft. or less.
This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. �119(e) of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/536,427, filed Jan. 14, 2004, entitled �Suspended Ceiling System Utilizing Seismic Separation Joint Clips�.
The invention relates to a suspended ceiling grid network which utilizes clips to connect a primary grid member to a secondary or cross grid member in generally perpendicular relationship. More specifically, the invention relates to a grid network having a clip which permits lateral movement of the cross grid member relative the primary grid member in at least two horizontal directions with respect to the ceiling plane, while maintaining the assembled relationship of the primary and cross grid members.
Additionally, the 2000 International Building Code specifies that �for ceiling areas exceeding 2,500 square feet a seismic separation joint or full height partition shall be provided.� Essentially, this requires a large ceiling area to be segmented into independent smaller areas to prevent the ceiling from completely collapsing during a seismic event.
In order to comply with both ASTM E 580-02 and the 2000 International Building Code, a grid network is needed which eliminates for primary grid members having 4 inch lower flanges and which partitions a single ceiling area into smaller independent ceiling areas.
The present invention is a ceiling system having a primary grid network which has a plurality of grid members disposed in generally perpendicular relation forming a plurality of intersection points. The primary grid network is partitioned into more than one grid network by attaching the joint clip of the invention at points of intersection of the grid members.
Each clip, which can be formed from a single piece of resilient sheet metal, secures first and second cross grid members to the primary grid member. The clip has a first resilient fastening portion extends in the longitudinal direction of the primary grid member and attaches to the primary grid member. The clip also has a second resilient fastening portion which extends from the first fastening portion at a right angle. The clip further includes a third resilient fastening portion which extends from the first fastening portion at a right angle on the side of the first fastening portion opposite the second fastening portion.
The joint clip of the invention partitions the primary grid network into smaller networks, or islands. Each smaller grid network is capable of moving independently of neighboring grid networks, while at the same time, preserving the aesthetic appeal of the overall grid network. The clip adds structural strength to the overall grid framework to prevent twisting and withdrawal of the cross grid members from the primary grid member.
Referring now to FIGS. 1-3 and 7, the intersection of a primary grid member and a cross grid member is shown. As shown in FIG. 1, the cross grid member 12 is disposed in generally perpendicular relation to the primary grid member 10. Each of the grid members 10,12 comprise a web 14 extending generally vertically and flange 18 extending horizontally from both sides of the vertical web 14. The vertical web 14 may include a bulb portion 16 at an end of the vertical web 14 opposite the horizontal flange 18. Although the bulb portion 16 is shown throughout the drawings as having a rectilinear cross section, the bulb can have several different configurations, such as a generally circular cross shape.
A joint clip 20 is attached to the grid network at an intersecting point of the primary 10 and cross grid members 12. In the example embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the clip 20 is formed of a single flat piece of generally resilient yet flexible material, such as spring steel material. The material may be stamped using mass production techniques well known in the art. FIG. 2 shows the clip 20 of FIG. 1 in its unbent form. When bent into its finished shape, the clip, when viewed from the top, is of general cross shape.
A first resilient fastener portion 22 of clip 20 is attached to a primary grid member 10. As best seen in FIG. 7, the first resilient fastener portion 22 has two opposing leg 32, 34 which form a downwardly opening channel 36 for straddling the vertical web 14 of a primary grid member 10. Preferably, the first fastener portion 22 is configured so that its opposed legs 32, 34 follow the geometry of the vertical web 14 of the primary grid member 10, including any bulb portion 16. If the primary grid member 10 has a bulb 16, the first fastener portion 22 can be snap-fastened to the primary grid member 10 by forcing it down over the bulb 16. The opposing legs 32, 34 can be slightly spread at the bottom to form an inverted-V channel 37 to allow easier attachment of the clip onto the primary grid member 10 having a bulb 16. The bulb 16 of different grid members 10 can vary somewhat but are typically of similar width so that a single size of downwardly opening V-shaped channel 37 should be suitable for use with most grid members.
When inserted into channel 36, the primary grid member 10 is slidably secured therein by the crimping of the resilient opposing leg portions 32,34 about the vertical web 14 of the primary grid member. The clip 20 is prevented from moving upwardly away from assembled relation by the engagement of the leg portions 32,34 with the underside of the bulb 16 of the primary grid member 10. The apex of the inverted-V channel 37 should be sufficiently tight to provide support for the underside of the bulb 16 of the vertical web 14.
In a conventional configuration, a cross grid member 12 it typically supported by a lower horizontal flange 18 of the primary grid member 10. Here, support for the cross grid member 12 by the primary grid member is not required as the clip webs are contoured to the underside of the bulb 16 of the secondary grid member 12. Thus, resilient fastener 24 alone can support the secondary grid member 12. This is particularly important during a seismic disturbance when cross grid member 12 is displaced in the directions shown by arrow M in FIG. 1. A clip web length of at least 2 inches is preferable in order to safely comply with ASTM E 580-02.
In this configuration, each opposing leg 32,34 of the first fastener portion 22 has a clip carrier 52 which is defined by a carrying slot 54 stamped in the leg of the first fastener portion 22. The second and third fastener portions 24, 25 of the first embodiment are modified to include a face plate 56. The face plate 56 integrally extends from the top of the clip webs 40,42 in a downward direction but is spaced from the side edge of the clip webs. The face plate 56 contains one or more downwardly extending planar tabs 58 stamped out of the face plate 56 with the top of the tabs 58 integrally attached to the face plate 56. The tabs 58 engage carrying slot 54 bf the first fastener portion 22. When engaged, the second or third fastener portion 24,25, and, thus, a cross grid support member 12 attached thereto, can slide along the clip carrier or track 52 in carrying slot 54, in the directions indicated by Arrows P and X in FIG. 4. As before, the cross grid member 12 retains its freedom of horizontal motion in channel 44, i.e. in a direction perpendicular to the primary grid member 10 as indicated by Arrow M.

- Andre Drummond talks computers, Rihanna
Andre Drummond talks computers, Rihanna
Andre Drummond is one of the most intriguing players in Thursday's NBA Draft.
The 6-foot-11, 280-pound center played only one season at the University of Connecticut, averaging just 11 points and 8 rebounds per game.
But the upside of the 18-year-old from Middletown, Conn., is tremendous, probably even higher than likely top pick Anthony Davis.
He is an explosive leaper, already has an NBA body and can hit the open jumper. And he averaged nearly three blocks per game last season.
He worked out for five teams -- Portland, Sacramento, Cleveland, Washington, Charlotte -- and is projected to go No. 7 in the draft, according to ESPN's Chad Ford.
Playbook had a few minutes with Drummond to take his temperature on the next few days.
I know you're going say it doesn't matter, but does it matter where you go on Thursday?
"I went on five workouts and I played AAU, so I've played in pretty much every state you can think of. So when I hear the team name, I'll talk to my agent and my family. My mom and sister are moving with me. And it's really no issue on where I go."
What will you buy with your first check?
"Oh, I don't have anything special on my list. I'm all about saving money. I need to put that away for when I need it. I don't need to buy anything now."
You left college after one year. What was that experience like?
"The fans were great, and the coaching staff was great. We didn't win some games that we should have. I liked that little town. It was its own little place. Everybody knows everybody. It was like family to me."
Are you ready to hear your name being called Thursday?
"What kid who was playing basketball didn't have the dream about going to the NBA? It's the biggest and final step. All that hard work you put in is finally paying off, and that day is here."
If you could play anyone one-on-one, who would it be?
"I would say it would be Shaq. He's big and funny. We'd have a fun game. I wouldn't be nervous about anyone in the league now. Like them, I will come in the league to compete and win basketball games. I won't be starstruck. I'm there to do what I love."
"I guess the only time was when I met Michael Jordan. I reverted back to a little kid. I ws down to about 4-feet-11."
"That's easy. I'd be a computer engineer. I'd be into software building. Yeah, a little weird, right?"
What is embarrassing about you that people don't know?
"Let me try to think. I don't think anything. Well, unless you consider when me and teammate Jeremy Lamb would sing all the words to 'We Found Love' by Rihanna. We'd sing the whole song together. No dance. We'd just be freelancing it out there."

Reliability and validity 2.
Why do we need Reliability & Validity? (Measurement Error)A participant’s score on a particular measure consists of 2components: Observed score = True score + Measurement ErrorTrue Score = score that the participant would haveobtained if measurement was perfect—i.e., we were ableto measure without errorMeasurement Error = the component of the observedscore that is the result of factors that distort the score fromits true value 3.
Factors that Influence Measurement Error• Transient states of the participants: (transient mood, health, fatigue-level, etc.)• Stable attributes of the participants: (individual differences in intelligence, personality, motivation, etc.)• Situational factors of the research setting: (room temperature, lighting, crowding, etc.) 4.
Characteristics of Measures and ManipulationsPrecision and clarity of operationaldefinitionsTraining of observersNumber of independent observationson which a score is based (more isbetter?)Measures that induce fatigue or fear 5.
Actual Mistakes Equipment malfunction Errors in recording behaviors by observers Confusing response formats for self-reports Data entry errorsMeasurement error undermines the reliability(repeatability) of the measures we use 6.
Reliability• The reliability of a measure is an inverse function of measurement error:• The more error, the less reliable the measure• Reliable measures provide consistent measurement from occasion to occasion 7.
Estimating ReliabilityTotal Variance = Variance due + Variance duein a set of scores to true scores to errorReliability = True-score / Total Variance VarianceReliability can range from 0 to 1.0When a reliability coefficient equals 0, the scores reflectnothing but measurement errorRule of Thumb: measures with reliability coefficients of70% or greater have acceptable reliability 8.
Different Methods for Assessing ReliabilityTest-Retest ReliabilityInter-rater ReliabilityInternal Consistency Reliability 9.
Test-Retest ReliabilityTest-retest reliability refers to theconsistency of participant’s responsesover time (usually a few weeks, why?)Assumes the characteristic beingmeasured is stable over time—notexpected to change between test andretest 10.
Inter-rater ReliabilityIf a measurement involves behavioralratings by an observer/rater, we wouldexpect consistency among raters for areliable measureBest to use at least 2 independentraters, ‘blind’ to the ratings of otherobserversPrecise operational definitions and well-trained observers improve inter-raterreliability 11.
Internal Consistency Reliability• Relevant for measures that consist of more than 1 item (e.g., total scores on scales, or when several behavioral observations are used to obtain a single score)• Internal consistency refers to inter-item reliability, and assesses the degree of consistency among the items in a scale, or the different observations used to derive a score• Want to be sure that all the items (or observations) are measuring the same construct 12.
Estimates of Internal Consistency• Item-total score consistency• Split-half reliability: randomly divide items into 2 subsets and examine the consistency in total scores across the 2 subsets (any drawbacks?)• Cronbach’s Alpha: conceptually, it is the average consistency across all possible split- half reliabilities• Cronbach’s Alpha can be directly computed from data 13.
Estimating the Validity of a Measure• A good measure must not only be reliable, but also valid• A valid measure measures what it is intended to measure• Validity is not a property of a measure, but an indication of the extent to which an assessment measures a particular construct in a particular context—thus a measure may be valid for one purpose but not another• A measure cannot be valid unless it is reliable, but a reliable measure may not be valid 14.
Estimating ValidityLike reliability, validity is not absoluteValidity is the degree to which variability(individual differences) in participant’sscores on a particular measure, reflectindividual differences in thecharacteristic or construct we want tomeasureThree types of measurement validity: Face Validity Construct Validity 15.
Face Validity• Face validity refers to the extent to which a measure ‘appears’ to measure what it is supposed to measure• Not statistical—involves the judgment of the researcher (and the participants)• A measure has face validity—’if people think it does’• Just because a measure has face validity does not ensure that it is a valid measure (and measures lacking face validity can be valid) 16.
Construct ValidityMost scientific investigations involvehypothetical constructs—entities thatcannot be directly observed but areinferred from empirical evidence (e.g.,intelligence)Construct validity is assessed bystudying the relationships between themeasure of a construct and scores onmeasures of other constructsWe assess construct validity by seeingwhether a particular measure relates asit should to other measures 17.
Self-Esteem Example• Scores on a measure of self-esteem should be positively related to measures of confidence and optimism• But, negatively related to measures of insecurity and anxiety 18.
Convergent and Discriminant Validity• To have construct validity, a measure should both:• Correlate with other measures that it should be related to (convergent validity)• And, not correlate with measures that it should not correlate with (discriminant validity) 19.
Criterion-Related• Validity Refers to the extent to which a measure distinguishes participants on the basis of a particular behavioral criterion• The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) is valid to the extent that it distinguishes between students that do well in college versus those that do not• A valid measure of marital conflict should correlate with behavioral observations (e.g., number of fights)• A valid measure of depressive symptoms should distinguish between subjects in treatment for depression and those who are not in treatment 20.
Two Types of Criterion- Related Validity Concurrent validity measure and criterion are assessed at the same time Predictive validity elapsed time between the administration of the measure to be validated and the criterion is a relatively long period (e.g., months or years)Predictive validity refers to a measure’s ability to distinguish participants on a relevant behavioral criterion at some point in the future 21.
SAT Example• High school seniors who score high on the the SAT are better prepared for college than low scorers (concurrent validity)• Probably of greater interest to college admissions administrators, SAT scores predict academic performance four years later (predictive validity) 22.

Whether those high prices turn into a crisis depends on two things. First, there are short-sighted policy responses. Food producers often ban exports when they fear shortages or price spikes are coming.Sometimes they are right to worry. Russia’s recent droughts have left it with a genuine wheat shortfall. And India has just banned the export of onions to address the latest flare-up.
But India also introduced a rice export ban in 2007 when it still had a sizable surplus, helping to double the world price. By 2008, more than 30 countries had some kind of controls in place. Export bans often cause bubbles abroad; they also stop farmers from benefiting from high prices that would get them growing more.The second flash point is the price of oil. That increases transport costs for food. But it also encourages politicians to divert grains into biofuels, which become competitive when oil hits $60 a barrel.The average oil price in 2011 is forecast at $84, according to a Reuters poll. The United States, which supplies two-thirds of the world’s corn exports, diverted huge amounts into biofuel in the run-up to the 2008 crisis, causing 70 percent of the rise in corn prices, according to the International Monetary Fund. That distortion was passed straight onto the world’s poor.
Food riots in 2011 are possible, but not inevitable. Granted, the world will have to get used to more food scares as the population expands and the diets of the poor get richer. But the moment when humanity outgrows the earth is thankfully not yet here. Cool-headed policies can still prevent a real crisis.

I think ultimately it comes down to the board and your position. I've played many games where city plopping just would not work and others where I only had to build two additional roads and settlements. I think that the opportunities are out there for those who do not have optimal starting city positions to plan against city plopping. The Black Ship definitely helps for this, especially early in the game. Getting strong players to give up a city early is huge. Also, those who don't expand limit their possible spots for knights. Also, expanders still have the option of getting longest road and access to ports.
permalink[–]JuxeNegotiate?[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (2 children)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onThis is slightly anecdotal but in last night's game it was more profitable for one of the players to build more cities, as he never rolled into the resources for knights, he just built more cities than the barbarians could take down. I agree that the barbarians help the balance the game out, but in my experience it's not strong enough.
How do you decide your board layouts? My group uses an app on android called "Better Settlers" which generates boards to an algorithm. For the most part it seems like it's done a good job of making balanced and interesting boards for us, but it's very limited for generating maps with seafarers included. Suggestions?
permalinkparent[–]brehbergsetupcatan.com 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onYou could try out my website Setup Catan to generate seafarers board layouts.
You will need to click the Seafarers and C&K images on the Products page. (the text turns green) Then on the Options page you can choose a specific seafarers scenario to combine with and set some other options. The display page will show the resulting layout as well as give you a parts list to assemble it.
