The present invention relates to a method for detecting a void in a concrete composite member covered with a steel plate using a thermal image, and a method for managing the construction of a concrete composite member covered with a steel plate by applying same. According to the present invention, since the presence of the void is determined based on the steel plate surface temperature measured using the thermal image during the construction of the concrete composite member covered with the steel plate, the void generation may be precisely expected.

A method, device, and system for improving read performance in frequently changing device temperature conditions through detecting thermal region tags and thermal region outliers in a memory device. A plurality of thermal regions may be configured for the memory device. A first temperature may be measured corresponding to opening a storage block of the memory device for programming. A second temperature may then be measured corresponding to closing the storage block for programming. A range between the first temperature and the second temperature may be determined. The range may span N≥2 of the thermal regions. Finally, the storage block may be assigned to a thermal region that includes the second temperature, on condition that N satisfies a threshold.

A system and method for interactively evaluating energy-related investments affecting building envelope with the aid of a digital computer are provided. Obtained is a total amount of fuel purchased for a building over a set period from which an existing amount of the fuel consumed for space heating is derived. Characteristics including thermal performance and furnace and delivery efficiencies of the building for both existing and proposed equipment are obtained, including remotely controlling a heating source inside the building. The thermal performance and furnace and delivery efficiencies characteristics of the existing and proposed equipment are expressed as interrelated ratios. An amount of fuel to be consumed for space heating is evaluated as a function of the existing amount of the fuel consumed for space heating and the ratios of the existing and proposed equipment.
