  • Patent number: 11905673
    Abstract: The subject matter relates to a method and an apparatus for vibrating-in a foundation into a building ground by initiating vibrations generated by means of a vibrating device attached to the foundation, the vibrations causing liquefaction of the building ground so that the foundation penetrates the building ground.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 2, 2019
    Date of Patent: February 20, 2024
    Assignee: RWE Renewables GmbH
    Inventors: Daniel Bartminn, Volker Herwig, Benjamin Matlock
  • Publication number: 20240035248
    Abstract: The application relates to a method for assessing the load bearing capacity of an inserted pile, including: applying, by a vibrator device arranged at the inserted pile, the inserted pile with a measuring pulse string during at least one vibration time period, detecting, by at least one detection module, motion data of the inserted pile caused by the measuring pulse string during a measuring time period, determining at least one downward motion data set from the detected motion data; and evaluating the downward motion data set such that a load bearing capacity criterion is determined.

  • Publication number: 20080288269
    Abstract: A method and structure for data standardization as a basis for a service-oriented architecture in an enterprise. A logical business model (30) defines processes and organization of an enterprise. An implementation model (40) defines an information technology to support the business model (30). Standard core language elements (60) communicate and transition reliably between the business and implementation models, and are understandable in the same way by all responsible parties in a business. Business object types (60) and technical term models (66) define core elements with semantics, synonyms, and interrelationships of this standard language. The models (30, 40) as encoded in a database coordinate the parties and departments in implementing a product life cycle in the enterprise.
