Patent number: 8640412Abstract: In building a house, it is necessary to arrange bearing walls and non-bearing walls in a well-balanced manner. However, in the case where a bearing wall is configured by fixing a plate-like body such as a bearing wall panel to the exterior-side face of a structural frame member formed by assembling horizontal members and pillar members into the shape of a square frame, the surface of the bearing wall panel protrudes from the face of the structural frame member on the exterior side by a distance corresponding to the thickness of the bearing wall panel. Thus, the exterior-side face of the bearing wall in which the bearing wall panel is provided is not flush with the exterior-side face of the non-bearing wall in which the bearing wall panel is not provided, and so there is a step. Accordingly, processing of the base during attachment of an exterior building material has been necessary.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2011Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Nichiha CorporationInventor: Teruyuki Kato

Patent number: 6434509Abstract: Relative vector between an observation receiver located at an object and a reference receiver are divided into long period variation components not dependent on object displacements and short period variation components dependent on object displacements, and the short period variation component are represented by x, y and z axis components of unit vectors from the reference receiver toward the satellite. Then, carrier phases between at least three GPS satellites and the receivers are measured, and these measurement data are passed through a band pass filter to extract short period phase components corresponding to the short period variation components of the relative vectors. Next, at least three receiver to receiver single differences between the receivers and the GPS satellites are found for the short period phase components, and axial components of the short period variation components of the relative vectors are found by computation based on said at least three receiver to receiver single differences.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2000Date of Patent: August 13, 2002Assignee: Hitachi Zosen CorporationInventors: Atsushi Tsuchiya, Teruyuki Kato, Yukihiro Terada, Masao Kinoshita, Hideshi Kakimoto, Hiroshi Isshiki
