Abstract:

A tower foundation () comprises a base slab (), a plurality of pillar slabs (), and a crown stab (). The base slab (), pillar slabs () and crown slab () are all retained in position by six steel guide rods () that extend upwardly from the base slab (). The six guide rods () have externally threaded ends configured to receive internally threaded mounting bolts (). The guide rods are arranged in a generally triangular pattern. The pillar slabs are rectangular with their sides being undercut or sloping outwardly from the bottom surface to the top surface, i. e. , the sidewalls diverge outwardly as they extend upwardly. The outwardly sloping sidewalls aid in preventing the foundation from tilting over time.

Abstract:

Devices and methods for measuring balance in a subject are described herein. The devices include a platform, a mechanism connected to the platform, and at least one sensor in or on the platform. The at least one sensor measures the balance of a subject atop the platform as the mechanism induces a platform movement in the horizontal plane. A data set measured by the at least one sensor can processed and then used to assess a subject's balance.

Abstract:

A tower foundation () has a base slab (), pillar slabs (), and a crown stab (), all of which are made of precast concrete structures. The slabs are all retained in position by steel guide rods () that extend upwardly from the base slab. The guide rods have externally threaded lower ends () configured, to receive internally threaded guide rod mounting nuts () which have a metal mounting plate () with a guide rod hole () therethrough, a main body portion () welded to the mounting plate and having a threaded channel () therethrough, and a sealing plate () coupled to bottom of the main body portion through a peripheral weld () so as to seal the bottom opening of the threaded channel.
