A composite foam and concrete wall includes a foam layer having a top surface, a bottom surface, a left wall surface and a right wall surface wherein the foam layer comprises at least two foam panels that define a seam that is substantially parallel to the top surface and the bottom surface. A concrete layer is secured to a surface of the foam layer.

A modular AFM/SPM which provides faster measurements, in part through the use of smaller probes, of smaller forces and movements, free of noise artifacts, that the old generations of these devices have increasingly been unable to provide. The modular AFM/SPM includes a chassis, the foundation on which the modules of the instrument are supported; a view module providing the optics for viewing the sample and the probe; a head module providing the components for the optical lever arrangement and for steering and focusing those components; a scanner module providing the XYZ translation stage that actuates the sample in those dimensions and the engage mechanism; a isolation module that encloses the chassis and provides acoustic and/or thermal isolation for the instrument and an electronics module which, together with the separate controller, provide the electronics for acquiring and processing images and controlling the other functions of the instrument. All these modules and many of their subassemblies are replaceable and potentially upgradeable. This allows updating to new technology as it becomes available.

A power trowel handle has controls that permit electronically operating the functions of an engine on the power trowel from the handle. The engine includes a servo controlled carburetor which will permit injecting, upon initial closing, a circuit for starting a quantity of fuel for starting a two cycle engine, which normally has to be done manually, as well as permitting control of a throttle using a trigger switch on the handle. The power trowel further has an elongated pole braced with a slider to prevent twisting under torque and to permit better control of the power trowel from a remote handle. The handle grip is usable in either the elongated pole position, or directly on a shroud for the power trowel.

An improvement to power trowels having a power unit, a rotatable shaft, a plurality of trowling blades mounted to spider arms, and a shroud for shielding the blades. The blades are formed of spring steel and are fixedly mounted to the spider arms. A throttle control unit is removably mounted to the trowel and may be extendably mounted to an adjustable extendible pole.
