A computerized engineering design and project data collection and processing system adapted for use over a global computer network, such as the Internet, includes initial data collection and job input modules, project type selection modules, graphic user interface engineering calculators, project management, accounting, and scheduling modules. The system includes computer applications that perform engineering calculations in the form of graphical interface calculators developed using interactive data visualization interfaces adapted with progressive input which customize the calculator based on input scenario. The interactive software application interfaces with a spreadsheet application to import data and formulas, and output interactive animated charts, graphs, and engineering solutions to simple and complex engineering problems. The system is capable of roducing output solutions suitable for approval and sealing by a registered engineer or other approving agent. An overall operations system functions to control contract management, job tracking and coordination, accounting, scheduling, project templates and detail drawings, project tools (including calculators), and plan processing services including approval, sealing, copying, and automated shipping functions. In an alternate embodiment, the system is configured as a network wherein engineering services including engineering design, calculations, and materials reports are provided to customers by remotely located computerized kiosks.

A computerized system and method for organizing and cataloging product approval data wherein on-line access to such data is provided via a global computer network is disclosed. The system continuously imports data from each approval entity and provides a singular, next generation, information retrieval functions. The system also advances the art of approval information management by allowing manufacturers of approved products the ability to add metadata, which provides additional information to be searched along with product approval data. A significant aspect of the present invention involves providing a search system, available via a global computer network such as the Internet, having the ability to enter, search, use, and most importantly assist in sorting and applying data from the product approvals to assist the user in gaining an accurate understanding of the approved product. Forward and reverse search features “inside” product approvals, product comparisons, and product details are provided. Further features will allow for the searches to be saved and recalled, and provide e-mail notifications to users regarding new products that match search criteria. The present invention provides search page results that also allow highly targeted advertising which can be displayed independent from a manufacturer's product search results.

A modular wind abatement system comprises a plurality of net components, net-to-net connection hardware, net-to-ground anchors and net-to-building anchors. Flexible net-like sheet components are configured and joined into a suitably sized and shaped web fitted in covering relation with a structure, such as a home, building, billboard, motor home, boat, or any other outdoor thing to be protected. Net component sections are joined together to form suitably sized and shaped web using clamp devices. Once formed the web is secured to the ground in at least partial covering relation with the protected structure by suitable ground anchors such that wind forces are transferred to ground anchors. The present invention thus provides a wind abatement device suitable for protecting a wide variety of structures and property from damage resulting from hurricane force winds and windborne debris.
