Method of forming an inlaid pattern in an asphalt surface from preformed template isometries
First Claim
1. A method of forming multiple inlaid patterns to complete a final predetermined rotational pattern onto or into a pavement surface comprising:
- (a) a template for creating multiple blocks with portions of rotational isometric patterns;
(b) impressing said template into said pavement surface when said surface is in a pliable state to form an impression therein;
(c) removing said template from said surface to expose said impression;
(d) providing an inlaid rotatable preform grid that at least partially matches the pattern of said template;
(e) inserting said rotatable preform grid into said impression caused by said template;
(f) fixing said rotatable preform grid in position within said impression to form said inlaid pattern;
thereby;
(g) creating multiple blocks of said portions of said patterns such that rotational isometric patterns form a final rotational predetermined isometric patterned preform, wherein said final rotational predetermined isomeric patterned preform is formed using patterned orthant coding descriptors describing quadrants designated as (Q#), individual pattern square locations designated as (L#), and rotational pattern positions designated as (R*), where # represents the corresponding location or quadrant number and * represents the corresponding letter associated with each angular rotational positional expressed in degrees from a vertical y-axis.

Abstract
This application relates to a method of forming multiple inlaid patterns to complete a final predetermined rotational pattern onto or into a pavement surface. The pattern may be selected for functional or decorative purposes. In one embodiment the method includes the steps of providing a first template created of multiple blocks with portions of rotational isometric patterns having a predetermined pattern; impressing the first template into the pavement surface when the pavement surface is in a pliable state forming an impression therein; removing the first template from the pavement surface exposing the impression; providing a grid having a predetermined pattern matching the pattern of the first template; inserting the grid into the impression; and fixing the grid in position within the impression to form the inlaid pattern thereby creating multiple blocks of said portions of said patterns such that rotational isometric patterns form a final rotational predetermined isometric patterned preform.

22. An article of manufacture comprising;
- a grid and/or a template for creating multiple blocks of portions of rotational isometric patterned preforms wherein said grid and/or template provides a final rotational predetermined isometric patterned preform based on properly positioning said multiple blocks wherein said positioning of said final rotational predetermined isometric patterned preform is formed using patternted orthant coding descriptors describing quadrants designated as (Q#), individual patterned square locations designated as (L#), and rotational patterned positions designated as (R*), where # represents the corresponding location or quadrant number and * represents the corresponding letter associated with each angular rotational position expressed in degrees from a vertical v-axis.
