  • Patent number: 9256830
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying deformation of a structure. Training deformation data is identified for each training case in a plurality of training cases. Training strain data is identified for each training case in the plurality of training cases. The training deformation data and the training strain data are configured for use by a heuristic model to increase an accuracy of output data generated by the heuristic model. A group of parameters for the heuristic model is adjusted using the training deformation data and the training strain data for the each training case in the plurality of training cases such that the heuristic model is trained to generate estimated deformation data for the structure based on input strain data. The estimated deformation data has a desired level of accuracy.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20090056253
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for construction of an elevated foundation slab to support residential, commercial, and/or industrial structures or equipment. The components used to construct the system are modular, so that different foundation slab area sizes and shapes may be assembled with the same size and type components.
