The hall will be made up of 57 modular units that were built in Pottstown, Pa.
At Black Gold, one of a series of camps just outside Williston, interlocking modular units that will house 900 workers when completed are being trucked in and reassembled after serving the oil fields in Alaska.
Those plans, city officials said, call for using shipping containers, or other types of modular units, that — unlike trailers — could be stacked high to maximize space in a city with little real estate to spare.
Mr Byron and Mr Blanchet plan to sell modular units that will connect to create a nano-farm as small or large as people need, all controlled by a smartphone app".We're inspired by the way Lego stacks together," says Mr Blanchet.
Purple photosynthetic bacteria have evolved a well-designed system of modular units that make up the light-harvesting apparatus.
Carmakers now have suppliers build seats, dashboards, roofs and doors, and buy them in modular units that are easily assembled and installed.
The model was based on a system of modular units that represented the interconnectivity of shoot meristems (terminal segments) and internodes (internal segments) within whole plant canopies, organized with increasing centrifugal ordering.
MIS is a patented joining system including a set of interlocking connections and the method of assembly of modular units that provides a high level of integrity that prevents accidental disassembly and stress concentrations at the points of attachments in case of extreme loading occurrence.
The in-situ14C extraction system comprises three independently operated and modular units that are used for initial in-vacuo removal of meteoric 14C, followed by offline high-temperature heating of quartz to release trapped cosmogenic in-situ14C, and finally CO2 gas purification and mass measurement.
The fact is that most of the time I'd probably much rather have a laser engraver than a 3D printer, and the potential of other similar modular units that could offer other kinds of 3D material manipulation, like a touch-sensor testing unit, for instance, or any number of potential add-ons, mean Flux could eventually act as a near-complete micro prototyping lab for home use.
