Descriptive Report of the Invention Patent for SENSOR COLUMN AND SYSTEM TO GENERATE A TEMPERATURE MATRIX AND METHOD OF FORMATION OF A STRUCTURAL OBJECT.
[001] This application claims the priority of provisional patent application 61 / 305,303, which is incorporated by reference to the specification of this application.
[002] The present invention relates to a pile detection device. More particularly, the invention of this application relates to a disposable detection system that can be directly casted or mounted on a pile or other structural object.
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE [003] McVay et al. - 6,533,502 describes a wireless device and a method for stake analysis which is incorporated by reference here to show the same. In addition, Mullins et al. - 6,783,273 discloses a method for testing the integrity of the concrete shafts which is also incorporated by reference in this application to show the same. Piscsalko et al. - 6,301,551 discloses a remote pile driving analyzer and is incorporated by reference in this order to show the same. Likins Jr. et al. - 5,978,749 describes a pile installation record system and is incorporated by reference in this order to display it.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [004] The applicant has found that the invention of the present application works particularly well with the installation and monitoring of piles, in which this reference is being used throughout this application. However, this order should not be limited to piles, where the reference piles in this order is not to limit the scope of this order.
[005] Detection devices have been used in the
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 5/45
2/29 construction for countless years. These detection devices include a wide variety of devices used for a wide variety of reasons in the field. This includes detection devices that are used in connection with the installation and use of support structures, such as piles that are used to support the weight of superstructures, such as supporting the weight of buildings and bridges. As can be appreciated, it is important both to ensure that a support structure, such as a pile, has been installed correctly and is in good condition throughout its use in the field.
[006] With regard to the installation of piles, it is important that these structures are properly constructed, so that the pile can support the weight of a building or superstructure. Thus, over the years, the systems have been designed to work in connection with the installation of a pile to ensure that the pile meets the construction requirements for the structure. This includes detection devices that work in connection with driving a stake as shown by Piscsalko et al. 6,301,551. Again, the Piscsalko patent is hereby incorporated by reference as knowledge material related to the detection and conducting of structural piles. These devices assist workers in driving these piles to determine that the pile has been properly driven into the ground, without over-tensioning the pile during the driving process.
[007] Similarly, devices are known, which are used to monitor the stake after driving. This includes the Piscsalko patent which includes devices that can be used to monitor the pile even after the driving process. In addition, McVay, et al., 6,533,502 also describes a device used to monitor a pile after the driving process is completed. The information produced by the systems can be used to
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 6/45
3/29 to finish the current state of the stake and to determine the damage it may or may not have suffered in response to any of a series of events, including natural disasters.
[008] However, these devices do not work entirely in connection with a perforated and molded pile, where the molding of the pile and the quality of this molding can determine the structural integrity of the pile once the molded material has cured. Mullins, et al., In document 6.783.273 try to overcome the deficiencies of the state of the art by revealing a method to test the integrity of the concrete shafts or piles. However, the device disclosed by Mullins was found to be ineffective and expensive to operate, in which there are still limitations in the state of the art for monitoring the curing process of a molded pile and to ensure that the molded pile is free of inclusions.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [009] The invention of this application relates to pile sensors and, more particularly, to a detection system that can be incorporated into a pile and that can detect different physical characteristics of the pile, either during pile formation or subsequent stake formation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITIES [0037] Referring now to the drawings in which the presentations are for the purpose of illustrating the preferred and alternative modalities of the invention and not for the purpose of limiting it, figures 1 and 4 show a system 10, which is used to measure one or more characteristics of a P pile during and / or after the molding process. More particularly, in this embodiment, the system with a first column of sensor 20 and a second column of sensor 22 is shown to measure temperature changes and / or other factors in the pile, during and / or after the pile has been mol
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 12/45
9/29 given. As will be discussed in more detail below, any number of sensor columns can be used in system 10 and these can be used both for the curing process and / or after the curing process.
[0038] In this regard, and as is known in the prior art, a stake can be made by many different techniques. One such technique is to mold concrete and / or mortar into a pile cavity 26 which will generally be referred to as the forming structure, in which this application can be used for wells in structures in addition to the perforated and molded pile structures . However, this molded material can be any material molded to form the support structure without diminishing the invention of the present application. This cavity can be produced by any means known in the art including, but not limited to, a drilling process to form this hole in a layer of earth 30. This cavity has an opening 32 in a surface 34 of the floor layer. This opening may represent a first or upper extension 40 of the cavity 26. The cavity, in this arrangement, extends downwardly to a second or lower extension 42, and includes the side wall (s) 44 which extends between the upper and lower extensions , along an axis of cavity 48. In addition, this system can be used in connection with any technique including, but not limited to, Auger Cast In Place (ACIP), Drilled Shaft poured dry or under slurry (DS), Drilled Displacement pile (DD) and / or Continuous Flight Auger (CFA).
[0039] The pile cavity 26 may further include a reinforcement structure, including, but not limited to, a reinforcement cage 50 having vertical sections 52 and horizontal sections 54 joined together by loops or connectors 58. This structural frame can be positioned along the pile pit and take any shape without difficulty
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 13/45
10/29 to lessen the invention of the present application. The columns can be joined or supported by the reinforcement cage or it can be supported by a separate structure configured only to support the column and which is separate from any structure of the reinforcement cage in the support structure.
[0040] Again, the sensor columns can be any number of sensor columns and can extend longitudinally into the pile cavity parallel to the axis of the cavity 48 or in other embodiments in other orientations, such as horizontal orientations for road or bridge structures that will be discussed in more detail below. Shown is an arrangement of two columns, including two columns 20 and 22. Each of these columns extends longitudinally into the pile cavity and can be attached to the support to maintain a desired position of these columns before the concrete is molded into the cavity.
[0041] Each of these columns extends between a first end 60 and a second end 62 along a column axis 64, which can be parallel to the axis of cavity 48. In one embodiment, the first end 60 can be a the transmission end and the second end 62 may be a base end near or at the bottom of the cavity. However, the second or base or ends do not need to be in alignment and these columns need not be parallel, although this may be preferred to maximize the accuracy of the system which will be discussed in more detail below.
[0042] Between the ends is a plurality of sensors 70 which are positioned in each defined position along axis 64, in which these set points are spaced at designated intervals along the column line. This spacing can be any desired spacing. In one embodiment, this spacing can
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 14/45
11/29 be uniform. In another embodiment, the spacing can be approximately six inches. In other embodiments, these sensors can be spaced approximately 12 inches apart. In yet other modalities, these sensors can be spaced differently for each column. Again, there is a wide range of spacing that could be used for the invention of the present application. The sensors 70 are each associated with each other and supported by a support and / or communication line 74 which can substantially form columns 20, 22 in which the sensors can be fully supported by line 74, which will also be discussed in more detail below.
[0043] Line 74 can be formed by any methods known in the art to support and / or communication data. As can be appreciated, a support line can take many forms. Likewise, line 74 used as a communication line can take many forms and can be any line with data capacity known in the art including, but not limited to, a single flexible metal wire or rod, several malleable metal wires or rods and / or fiber optics that are covered and / or coated as needed. In addition, regardless of whether line 74 is a support or communication line, a wireless network can be used to transmit data in whole or in part, where in a set of modalities, line 74 could even be a power supply for the systems in this application. In the interest of brevity, these will generally be referred to as yarns. In one embodiment, line 74 is an electrical conductor 80, having two wires 82 and 84 grouped together in a jacket 86. Any electrical conductor, cable or wire can be used by conductor 80 without detracting from the invention of the present application. In one embodiment, wires 82 and 84 can be standard 18 gauge wire. In other embodiments, a wire can
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 15/45
12/29 can be used and in others more than two wires can be used. However, sensors 70 are attached to conductor 80, such that the sensor remains fixed with respect to the conductor at a defined location along the axis of the column. In one embodiment, sensors 70 include an electrical connector 90 which is a clamp-style connector, however, any electrical connector can be used without detracting from the invention of the present application. This clamp can be a simple locking clamp that has a first hook 92 and a second hook 94, where hook 92 is configured to pierce the lining 86 of wire 82 to form an electrical connection with wire 82. Likewise, the hook 94 can be configured to pierce the lining 86 of the wire 84 to form an electrical connection with the wire 84. The connector 90 may further include a locking arrangement 96 that can maintain a desired locking fit between the hooks and the respective wire to maintain the electrical connection between them. In this mode, the wire can function as a column and fully support the system sensors from inside the wire cavity in its respective adjustment bridge. As can be appreciated, this system can be inexpensive to produce and can allow a significant number of temperature sensors to be positioned inside the pile pit. In addition, where multiple sensors can be used, these sensors can be precisely fixed in defined positions where the temperature reading for each sensor can be precisely associated with a specific location within the stake and to help produce a three-dimensional temperature matrix which will be discussed in more detail below.
[0044] In yet another embodiment, one or more sensors 70 may include a strain relief 98 to decrease the voltage placed on the connection between the sensor and the line. As it can be appreciated, the molding process can force this strain relief connection in which poPetition 870190104767, from 10/17/2019, pg. 16/45
13/29 to redirect this voltage away from the electrical connection.
[0045] Even in other modalities of the present application, the sensors can be joined or molded in the communication line in which both the line and the sensor are surrounded by the same cable jacket (or secondary layer), thus further protecting the sensor, increasing rigidity and reducing manufacturing costs. In this modality and in others, this may include the use of solder joints between the sensor and the line or other joining techniques appropriate to the technology used for the communication line, which are known in the prior art.
[0046] The remaining columns may have a similar configuration and, therefore, will not be discussed in detail here, in the interest of brevity. In addition, virtually any sensor arrangement pattern can be used to obtain any desired internal schematic or matrix representation of the curing process for concrete.
[0047] The sensor 70 can be formed by any method known in the prior art including, but not limited to, by including a sensor body 100 which is supported by the clamp 90 on the wire 80 and this body can be a plate electronic components. Sensor 70 further includes an electrical structure 102 that provides internal communication within sensor 70 between any devices that may be present in sensor 70. As can be appreciated, this can include any detection device known in the industry, including detection equipment future that becomes known in the state of the art. In this regard, sensor 70 may include a temperature measuring device 110 and may include one or more devices 111 for measuring pressure, sound, acceleration, vibration, resistivity, voltage, capacitance, humidity and / or chemicals. Sensor 70 may also include memory storage 112 which can store data, commands, position and / or calibration data 870190104767, from 10/17/2019, p. 17/45
14/29 arm. Sensor 70 may further include a transmission device 114 which may be a transceiver, and / or a transceiver (wired - shown or wireless) that may be used to communicate data obtained by sensor 70, which will be discussed in more detail details below. The sensor 70 can also include an electronic identification code 120 corresponding to the defined position of the sensor along the axis of the column, so that the information communicated by the sensor 70 can be positioned inside the cavity, which allows the creation of a representation detailed schematic of the data points within the cavity. As can be seen, Figure 4 is only intended to be a schematic representation of the sensor, which can be made in a wide range of ways and in which the components could be combined as code 120 as part of memory storage 112. In addition, code identification 120 can be a unique address for each of the sensors.
[0048] The sensor 70 can also include a sensor housing
122 which partially or completely encapsulates the sensor 70 and protects some or all of the electronic components against the molded material in the pile cavity. This housing can be any housing known in the art including, but not limited to, a potting material, insulating coating and / or an applied polymeric coating. In addition, as discussed above, this may include shaping the sensor within the line. In another embodiment, the housing may be a clam shell housing configured to partially or fully encapsulate the electronic components. In addition, the housing can be brushed over, sterilized over or immersed over. However, even more, this accommodation can be a partial accommodation, in which only the connection to the line is covered. [0049] Sensors 70 can then be configured to monitor a set of parameters, such as temperature and temperature changes.
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 18/45
15/29 temperature to allow the curing process to be monitored accurately and to ensure proper curing of the molded material. The sensors can also be used to detect abnormalities within the molded structure based on differences in the sensor readings. This can be done by observing temperatures in real time for each sensor and / or by compiling this information which will also be discussed in more detail below.
[0050] As discussed above, the identification code or unique address of each sensor can be transmitted through the electrical conductor 80 to allow the determination of the exact position of the particular sensor, so that its temperature reading can be oriented to a specific location within the pile pit and a three-dimensional schematic diagram or matrix can be created. By including a sensor identification code, information from the many sensors within the pile cavity can be located and broken down to obtain a clear three-dimensional schematic image of temperature variations within the molded pile during curing of the molded material. This information can be provided to a local engineer or even to an engineer at remote locations, so that detailed three-dimensional schematics of the various moldings can be monitored at once at a single remote location. As can be appreciated, this information can also be fed to a computing device that can provide three-dimensional schematic diagrams of the curing process on a real-time basis and any temperature changes during the curing of the pile can be plotted and / or fed in the computing system that can calculate or classify the integrity of the molded pile. As is known in the prior art, temperature abnormalities can be a sign of defects inside the molded pile which can be taken into account for these
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 19/45
16/29 calculations.
[0051] Using inexpensive sensors connected to a hanging wire, a large number of sensors can be positioned in a matrix inside the pile cavity. This array of sensors can provide detailed information not previously possible with state of the art devices. In addition, once the sensors are fixed to a specific location, human error is minimized. However, in addition, once the temperature sensors of sensor 70 are in direct contact with concrete, greater accuracy is achieved. In addition, triangulation techniques can be used to help create schematic three-dimensional images of healing data that can be fed back into a computing device to produce valuable information to determine the integrity of the entire molded pile.
[0052] Where each sensor has an identification associated with it and each sensor is positioned in a defined position on the detection sequence, if the column is positioned exactly inside the stake cavity, an accurate representation of changes in temperature and / or Current temperatures of the entire stake can be calculated. In addition, by including the wire column arrangement of the device in this application, additional temperature sensors can be positioned inside the pile, where the overall result is a more accurate three-dimensional matrix of the pile temperature during the process of cure. This is true in that each temperature column is much less expensive than state of the art temperature sensing devices and that these temperature sensing columns do not include an open cavity, as is necessary for state of the art devices. This is, in part, obtainable in view of the low cost configuration of the present detection device, in which it can be a disposable device.

17/29
However, as can be appreciated, in certain applications the temperature columns can be reused and / or reusable.
[0053] In yet other embodiments, the columns 20, 22 can be joined to the reinforcement structure 50 by one or more clamps 130 to improve the fixation of the defined position of each sensor within the cavity and to reduce any movement of the column within the cavity during molding. This can also be used to increase the accuracy of the temperature or schematic matrix that can be produced by the system.
[0054] Once the temperature columns are positioned inside the pile cavity, they can be joined to an operating system or 150 computing device, where temperature readings can be taken at any time and these temperature readings can be controlled electronically without human intervention. In this regard, once the system is configured to monitor the pile molding, the computer system can communicate with the sensors 70, via a transceiver 14 to read the temperature data, at any time or at defined intervals that they can be used to create a three-dimensional or schematic matrix of the molding and / or curing of pile temperatures in a real-time manner, continuously and / or during defined intervals. Then, once the pile is substantially cured, which takes about 18 to 30 hours, that data can be retrieved from a data store on device 150 or from data store 112 to evaluate the molded structure. . This information can be analyzed locally or transmitted by an array of transceiver 152 to remote and reviewed locations. Additionally, real time can be obtained either on site or at a remote location, if data is transmitted from the location to an off-site location. This may include using
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 21/45
18/29 tion of transceivers inside the detection device and / or the local computer and stored computer data. Sensors 70 can communicate with the device 150, wirelessly or through one or more sets of communication lines 160 and 162 that can be supported above the pile hole by a support 164.
[0055] With reference to figures 2 and 3A - 3D, the invention of the present application can include sequence matrices in many ways. In this regard, any number of sensor columns can be used within the system 10 to monitor a molded cavity, in accordance with aspects of the present invention. Figures 3A - 3D are examples of several such arrangements, but it is not intended to show all possible arrangements. As can be appreciated, the increase in the number of sensor columns 21 used within the system 10 can provide a more precise schematic matrix of the characteristic that is to be monitored by the system 10. All of these columns can be joined to a similar operating system 150 or they can be connected to separate operating systems as desired. In addition, each column and / or the sensor can have an operating system without diminishing the invention of the present application. In addition, one or more sensor columns can have different spacing between the sensors without diminishing the invention of the present application.
[0056] In yet other modalities, one or more sensor columns may have more than one sensor arrangement, such that, for example, only each other sensor includes a temperature sensor, while the other sensors within the column include one of the other sensors referenced above. Although this can reduce the resolution of the matrix, the separate parameters can be controlled separately. Shown in figure 2 is a sensor device 170 having sensor columns 21A - 21D. The sensor column 21A includes only sensor 70 having temperature sensors only while
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 22/45
19/29 column 21B includes both sensors 70 and sensor 70A where sensor 70A has one or more of these other sensors. The 21C column shows sensors in different spacing, which, again, can be used to adjust the matrix produced by the system. Columns 21D include sensors 70 and sensors 70A where sensor 70A is in a different location within the cavity.
[0057] Referring to figures 5 and 6, shown are still examples of other uses of the invention of the present application. In this regard, it is shown the use of the device of the present application to monitor some or all portions of structures and / or superstructures even after the construction phase. In this regard, as is discussed in more detail above, the columns in this application can form a permanent part of the molded structure in which the cured material is molded directly on the sensor column matrix of the present application, in which they are permanently cast into the stake or support structure. This not only provides cost savings and an improvement in accuracy as discussed above, but can also be used to control the structure even after construction is completed. In this regard, the detection devices and the operating system can be operated upon completion to continuously monitor physical characteristics, such as temperature changes to allow the determination of the defect during the operation of the structure or for any other reason.
[0058] A perspective view of a road structure with one or more detection systems is shown, according to certain aspects of the present application incorporated in various components of the present superstructure. More particularly, the bridge structure 200 includes a pile 202 of a road deck 204, and a side pillar 206. Each of these components can include one or more sensor columns 21 that can both be used for
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 23/45
20/29 during the molding process of such structures and even after the completion of the road.
[0059] Temperature changes can be a sign of an anomaly within these structures during the molding process and after the structure is fully cured. With respect to stake 202, an abnormality 210 is shown in a lateral portion 212 of the stake. The 21A sensor column traverses this abnormality and can be used to help detect the abnormality so that the work team can assess and correct the abnormality before the damage is too severe. In this regard, sensors 71a and 70b are within abnormality 210 and sensor 70C is adjacent to them. Since the 70A and 70B sensors are more exposed to environmental elements, they can register some greater temperature changes than the 70C sensor. This information can be stored in the short term or long term and / or can be transferred via removable memory storage, an information outlet (such as via a USB or wireless port). Or, this information can be transmitted via a 216 transceiver to a remote monitoring station, which can then use this information to determine whether or not there is a possibility of an abnormality or defect within that structure. Then, once it is determined that a defect or anomaly within the stake structure is not likely, a service team can be dispatched to review the structure and to confirm whether or not work needs to be done. This can be used more efficiently to dispatch work teams to possible structural problems. In still other modalities, the system and / or station monitoring can produce a signal that can be detected by a working vehicle pass on the road to signal the road group to stop and check for a possible abnormality.
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 24/45
21/29 [0060] Similarly, side frame 206 can include columns of sensors 21B and 21C connected to a transceiver 220 in which a defect shown as a slit 222 can produce a temperature shift in sensor 70D, as opposed to the adjacent sensors within of this structure. Again, the data can be monitored over a period of time to determine whether or not additional measures are needed to correct this structure.
[0061] The same is true for road 204, which, in this drawing, includes a slot 230 and a hole 232, which passes close to the determined sensors. Slit 230 passes close to sensor 70E of column 21D where sensor 70E can detect greater temperature changes than an adjacent sensor 70F, such that a monitoring station and / or system can determine with a reasonable amount of certainty that further action is needed and a work team needs to be dispatched to the particular location. By including these control mechanisms, working groups can be sent more efficiently based on real-time information produced from the system.
[0062] Likewise, road surface conditions can also be monitored. For example, sensors can be used to help detect a hole 232 that is close to the 70G sensor. Again, temperature changes from the 70G sensor can be compared to changes in temperature from the adjacent 70H sensor to help determine if there is a possible defect in the road surface. In yet other modalities, this could be used to detect road conditions, such as winter icing conditions.
[0063] In yet other embodiments, the system could use an energy collector 240 which can be any energy collector now known in the prior art or known in the prior art
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 25/45
22/29 future that includes, but is not limited to, a solar energy system and a device that produces energy through the use of vibration. The energy collector can be used to produce the power needed to operate the system. This can be useful for remote applications that do not have a power source. In addition, the system could operate the information in which it is only transmitted at defined intervals to further conserve energy use.
[0064] With reference to fig. 7 shows the molding of a molten pile, which represents a set of modalities of the invention of the present application. More particularly, the sensor system 10 of the present application used during molding or filling of the pile cavity is shown. In this respect, filling a pile cavity can be a difficult procedure, in which a paste 300 is often pumped into the pile cavity 26 to maintain the integrity of the walls of cavity 44, before and during molding the concrete. into the cavity.
[0065] More particularly, a molding process is shown in which concrete 302 is being pumped into cavity 26 by means of a filling tube 310 which is positioned in the cavity, such that concrete 302 is pumped or shaped through of the tube 310 starting near the bottom 42 of the cavity 26. This process forces the paste 300 upwards and out of the top 32 of the cavity 26. As a result, the paste 300 is forced upwards into the cavity as the concrete is pumped into inside the lower portion of the cavity. As an upper extension or level 314 of concrete 302 rises inside the cavity, the filling tube 310 must be pulled upwards from the bottom of the cavity, such that a lower part 316 of the filling tube 310 remains in close proximity with the extension 314 between the concrete 302 and the paste 300. However, the removal of the filling tube very quickly
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 26/45
23/29 such that end 316 moves above extension 314 to slurry 300 can create imperfections in the molded pile. On the other hand, keeping the filler tube very deep within the concrete portion below the extension 314 prevents the concrete from flowing out of the tube and places undue strain on the concrete pumping equipment.
[0066] As a result, there is a need to control this process and keep the opening of the filling tube as close to extension 314 as possible, but below extension 314. State of the art filling techniques include monitoring the volume of concrete to be pumped into the pile pit and use this information to determine the rate at which the fill tube should be pulled out of the hole. Since removal of the filler tube too quickly can produce imperfections in the pile, the mistake is always on the side of keeping the filler tube too deep into the hole which negatively affects the efficiency of the process and reduces the expected service life of the equipment.
[0067] By using the detection system, according to the invention of the present application, the dividing line between the concrete and the slurry can be precisely detected by temperature changes in each sensor 70. This precision can be achieved insofar as these sensors are all from a known location inside the pile pit. As the line passes through a sensor, it will begin to show an increase in temperature produced by curing the concrete. This information can be communicated to the operators of the filling operations, where this filling line can be precisely controlled and can be the basis of the withdrawal rate of the filling tube 310 from the cavity 26.
[0068] In one mode, the sensors are tied to each
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 27/45
24/29 six inches in the detection columns and the detection device can be activated during the molding process. The data produced by these sensors can be communicated via communication lines 80A-80D from columns 21A-21D to an operating system or display in which the operators responsible for the filling operation can have real-time information on the level of change of the extension 314 inside the cavity. This information can then be used to remove the filler tube and to keep the filler tube opening in a desired location below the concrete paste / dividing line. In another mode, this information can be sent directly to an operating system of the filling operation, in such a way that the filling tube is automatically controlled based on the information received from the sensors.
[0069] Then, once the molding process is completed, the detection columns can remain in place and can be used to monitor the curing process as described above. As a result, the sensors, according to the invention of the present application, both aid in the molding process and then help to determine the integrity of the pile after the process is completed. However, even more so, the sensors can be used for other detection applications after the pile has been cured, where the sensors remain inside the pile. This information can be used to ensure that the molding itself has been achieved and that the proper concrete mix has been molded.
[0070] In one embodiment, the system can be used to determine when the pile has been cured to a desired state to help speed up the construction process. Where loading a pile prematurely can damage the structural integrity of the pile, working groups typically expect a total of 28
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 28/45
25/29 days before any load is applied to the pile. This 28-day period is based on industrial data on molded materials, such as concrete and mortar, which will be cured in 28 days. However, as it was previously difficult to determine the point at which a stake has actually reached a fully cured condition, a significant safety factor is present in this 28-day healing cycle and the stake can actually reach a cure. total well before 28 days. Thus, time can be wasted to ensure that the stake is properly healed. The present order system can be used to determine when the stake has reached an initial cure, which normally takes about 18-30 hours. Then, the system can remain active to determine when the pile or structural element is fully cured, so that the construction team is not forced to wait the entire 28 days. In many situations, the material can be molded fully cured well before 28 days and this information can be used to shorten the delay between the pile mold and applying a load to the pile. With road applications, this information can shorten the delay between the mold of a road surface and allowing vehicles to pass on this road. As can be appreciated, this information can be used in any application to determine the point of achieving a complete cure, so that the curing lead time is reduced. As can also be appreciated, the opposite may be true, in which there are situations in which a structural member is not fully cured in 28 days, in which the system in this application can be used to warn workers and help prevent premature loading of the structure. This healing test may include testing the stake's hydration energy level to determine the state of the healing process. The absence of hydration energy can be used to determine the complete cure point. Again,
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 29/45
26/29 once the stake has reached the desired hydration energy or complete cure, the stake can be loaded or the structure can be used.
[0071] In yet other embodiments of the present application, the temperature columns can be positioned within longitudinally extending passages, such as those formed by PVC tubes positioned inside the pile cavity before the pile molding. While in these tubes, the location of the sensor is still fixed and can produce the temperature matrix described in other modalities of the present application, but which allows the columns to be removed and reused.
[0072] In other modalities, the communication line may include several transmission points. In this regard, in a group of modalities, the transmission line has a first and a second end, one of which is a transmission end that can be connected to an operating system, or even to a transmission device. to transmit sensor data for processing and / or analysis. In other embodiments, both the first and second ends can be transmission ends for this data communication. However, in addition, the line may have one or more additional transmission points 350 (see figure 1), even between the first and second ends of the lines, and these columns may also have more than two ends. In one embodiment, the line includes transmission point 350 between the first and the second end, where this transmission point is connected to the operating system by any method known in the art, including a direct line connection or even a RF radio frequency connection. In another embodiment, this transmission point is a 352 line connector joining two adjacent lines or all lines in the system. As can be appreciated,
Petition 870190104767, of 10/17/2019, p. 30/45
27/29 a failure in any of the communication lines can result in the loss of all data for an entire column of sensors. By including multiple points of transmission, the loss can be reduced to just a portion of the column. In yet other embodiments, each sensor can be a transmission point where each sensor could include a transceiver configured to be connected directly to an operating system, by any means known in the art, including, but not limited to, RF communication .
[0073] In yet other embodiments, the wire columns of the present application can be mass produced, in any of a number of configurations. In such a configuration it could be wires produced having 100 sensors located at specific distances in which each sensor from 1 to 100 can have a construction in identification of the electronic location, so that each temperature reading is associated with a specific sensor and a location the wire. In other modalities, the identification code or address can be assigned after the column is produced, or even on site, as needed. In addition, the detection wires, according to other aspects of the present application, can be produced in a plurality of standard lengths having a number of sensors, according to the particular length. For example, five different lengths of detection wire columns can be produced, where each of the five sizes would be, for example, 15, 25, 35, 65 and 100 meters in length and the end user could choose from a or more of these sizes (or others) based on the dimensions of the pile to be molded. In yet other embodiments, these assembly length columns may include connecting devices at both ends, such that more than one standard column can be connected in series. Buffers could be used to cover the bottom of the last column in any series

28/29 determined. In other embodiments, the columns can be produced in customized lengths based on the application or use or the product or based on customer orders. In yet other embodiments, the columns can be cut or customized on the spot and the cut portion sealed or properly finished, such as by a terminating resistor. These wire columns may be in the form of a spool and may include markings to designate the identification of each of the sensors within the wire. For example, these IDs could be numbered from 1 to 100, with the first sensor being the top sensor and the highest number sensor being the lowest sensor inside the pile pit. This information can be observed when positioning the wire column inside the wire cavity, where each of the sensors can be positioned at a known location inside the pile cavity, such that the three-dimensional matrix can be created once that information is transmitted from the sensors to the monitor and / or computing device.
[0074] As discussed above, the system of the present application can use detection devices other than temperature sensors without diminishing the invention of the present application. These other devices could be part of sensor 70 or these other devices can be separated from sensor 70 along line 74. In addition, these other detection devices can be assembled at the factory or on site and can be used in any standard, such as as in an alternating pattern with sensors 70, in such a way that each sensor can produce its own three-dimensional matrix. In addition, even in other embodiments of the present application, temperature sensors and these other detection devices can be used in connection with other test procedures. In this regard, as discussed above, the system of the present application may include one or more other

29/29 detection devices, such as devices for measuring pressure, sound, acceleration, vibration, resistivity, voltage, capacitance, humidity, and / or chemicals. These other devices can be used for procedures, such as sound tests, in which the upper part of the pile is used with a hammer and the resulting sound waves are analyzed. The system of the present application may include sensors to detect and / or record these sound waves to help test for imperfections at the stake.
[0075] The invention of this application could also be used for power pile systems, where the flow routes in a molded pile are used to heat and / or cool the structure of a building similar to geothermal heating and cooling systems. . The invention of this application can be used to measure the energy of, or at the stake, and to determine whether the stake has reached its limits for geothermal energy transfer. This information can be used to help the heating and cooling system perform more efficiently and to determine points that were secondary methods of cooling and / or heating are necessary supplements to the energy harvested from the stake.
[0076] The exemplary modality has been described with reference to the preferred modalities. Obviously, modifications and changes will occur to others after reading and understanding the preceding detailed description.
