  • Patent number: 8452550
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of analyzing load-settlement characteristics of a top-base foundation. The method includes the step of inputting properties of a material of a top base, a basic size of footing configuration, and a load of a structure, the step of inputting the kind of ground and a base ground thickness, the step of determining an influential depth and a load dispersion angle depending on the kind of ground, the step of inputting properties of the ground, the step of determining an immediate settlement amount of the ground, and the step of determining a total settlement amount. The method according to the present invention can precisely determine settlement taking into account footing configuration. Furthermore, the method calculates the settlement taking into account consolidation settlement when the ground is cohesive soil ground or top-cohesive-soil and bottom-sandy-soil ground. Thus, the settlement can be precisely determined.

  • Patent number: 7867142
    Abstract: A method and system for providing a sound source suitable for an exercise state of a user by recognizing the exercise state of the user by measuring heart rate and exercise speed of the user. The method includes: determining a standard heart rate; measuring a heart rate of a user; measuring an exercise speed of the user; comparing the measured heart rate and the standard heart rate; when a difference between the both heart rates is more than a predetermined value, generating compensated exercise speed information based on the difference and the measured exercise speed; and replaying a sound source according to the compensated exercise speed information. According to the exercise state management method, heart rate suitable for the type, intensity, or time of exercise selected by the user and a sound source suitable for exercise speed are provided, thereby improving satisfaction and effectiveness of the exercise.
