374152, 374141, 374137, 73803

A system for monitoring the forming of a solid object having a sensor string positionable in a forming structure before the curing process and a communication line extending along a string axis between a first and second end. The string further including a plurality of sensors joined to the communication line between the ends and each sensor being mounted at a set position on the line. Each sensor having a sensor body and a sensor housing and the sensor body including an electrical connecter to electrically join an electrical structure to the communication line at the set position. The electrical structure including a temperature sensor configured to monitor temperature near the set position and further including an electronic identification code corresponding to the set position of the sensor along the axis. The system further including a transmitting device for selectively communicating the temperature and identification code.

G01L 122

73 1B

A device for calibrating strain gages and strain transducers. The device includes an assembly with a first section and a second section positioned in relation to each other such that a gap is defined between the two sections. A strain transducer is attached to the assembly across the defined gap. The assembly includes an adjustment device which alters the position of the sections in relation to each other, thereby redefining the gap. A displacement sensor detects a displacement signal occurring due to the redefining of the gap caused by operation of the adjustment device. A strain transducer output detector detects a strain output signal occurring also due to the redefining of the gap by the adjustment device. A calibrating device inputs the signals from the displacement sensor and the strain transducer output detector and provides a calibration for the strain transducer attached to the assembly.

E02D 1300

702188

A pile driving analyzer (PDA) which obtains, processes and stores pile driving data. The PDA is operable as an independent self-contained unit, or may be used in conjunction with a remote computer system. Position data indicative of the position of a pile, and pile data indicative of characteristics of a pile may be automatically input to the PDA. When used in conjunction with the remote computer system, the PDA may be controlled remotely by the remote computer system. Alternatively, the PDA may be controlled locally by an operator, and data acquired by the PDA provided to the remote computer system for monitoring and/or storage.

702158

A pile installation recording system for driven piles and auger cast piles. The recording system records a variety of parameter data received from sensing devices. The parameter data is stored, analyzed, and displayed to provide the operator with accurate and timely information regarding the pile installation. In addition, the parameter data may be stored on removable media, and further manipulated to generate a variety of reports regarding the pile installation.

73 1201

A pile testing system for determining the load capacity of an in place pile and the system including a transducer assembly having a top extent and a bottom extent, the transducer assembly being generally fixed relative the pile top when in use and having a side wall transverse to the pile top and extending about a transducer axis, the transducer assembly further including at least one strain transducer joined to the wall of the transducer assembly, the at least one strain transducer configured to measure the applied load, the system further including at least one accelerometer fixed relative to the associated pile, the at least one accelerometer configured to calculate the movement of the associated pile when subjected to the applied load wherein the load capacity of the associated in place pile can be calculated based on the comparison between the applied load and the movement of the pile.
