Centerpoint marking tool
09784551 · 2017-10-10 ·

The present invention is a tool for locating and marking center points on various objects configured with a geared carriage assembly having guide holes for insertion of posts and a counterpunch centered automatically when posts are inserted into an interior and/or exterior surface of an object such as a square, rectangular, polygon, circle or other circular shapes. The tool is particularly novel to quickly and accurately locate the center point from a hole, aperture, and/or a prick mark made in the surface of the object such as, for example, paper, sheet metal, etc.

Flow meter device

A flow meter device includes plural fluid passages which are provided between an inlet section into which a fluid flows and an outlet section from which the fluid flows out, and through which the fluid flows and flow value measuring units installed in the plural fluid passages, respectively. The flow value measuring units are configured to measure flow values of the fluid flowing through the fluid passages. The flow meter device further includes a control unit configured to determine whether or not to cause one or more of the flow value measuring units to stop a measuring operation of the flow value based on the flow values measured by the flow value measuring units. The control unit is further configured to determine whether or not to cause the one or more of the flow value measuring units to resume the measuring operation of the flow value, based on the flow value measured by the flow value measuring unit as a monitoring measuring unit which is other than the one or more of the flow value measuring units and is activated to perform the measuring operation of the flow value.

Method of actively counteracting displacement forces with a probing unit

Embodiments of the invention include a method for compensating a force at a probe element of a probing unit. The probing unit being attached to and moved along a defined moving path with a number of moving points by a coordinate measuring machine for approaching a measuring point at an object. The probing unit comprises an actuator which is arranged and designed in such manner that a force is applicable to the probe element with respect to at least one actuating direction in variable and defined manner, the force depending on an applied actuating signal. Movement information about an expected movement of the probing unit is received, the movement information provides information about an expected displacement behaviour of the probe element relative to the probing unit due to induced forces emerging by moving the probing unit.

SINGLE-HANDED OPERABLE HAND TOOL WITH MEASURING DEVICE
20170266801 · 2017-09-21 ·

A hand tool is disclosed for driving nails, screws, and the like into a surface that improves the speed and accuracy with which it may be used by incorporating a measuring tool enabling the user to use the tool and measure distances with a single hand.

Photo scaling guide configured to scale wounds or objects
09757053 · 2017-09-12 ·

A photo scaling guide or system configured to scale both the area and linear dimensions of wounds or objects at the same time with one device.

Methods and systems for producing traceable measurements

Systems and methods for producing a traceable measurement of a component are provided. One or more augmented reality (AR) graphical elements, indicative of a measurement to be performed on the component using a local measurement instrument, are generated. The AR graphical elements are rendered via an AR device. One or more measurement values, associated with the measurement as performed on the component using the local measurement instrument, are obtained. An augmented image comprising a representation of the component, a representation of the local measurement instrument obtaining the measurement values, and a representation of the AR graphical elements is acquired. The measurement values are stored in association with the augmented image.

TILE SQUARE
20210389109 · 2021-12-16 ·

A tile square includes a right isosceles triangular substantially rigid transparent sheet with ruler indicia adjacent to the hypotenuse and one of the equal sides. A fence is provided along the other equal side. A plurality of templates are formed in the sheet between the sides and hypotenuse. The templates include a plurality of holes for a range of pipe sizes and a series of arcs defining peripheral boundaries of a closet or toilet flange. The equal sides of the tool are at least 18 inches in length.

CALIPER MEASUREMENT FORCE DETECTING DEVICE
20210372760 · 2021-12-02 · ·

A caliper measurement force detecting device includes a fixed unit that is securely attached to a slider so as not to displace relative to the slider; a movable unit that is provided to allow a slight displacement relative to the fixed unit along a direction parallel to a displacement direction of the slider; and pressure detectors that are arranged between the fixed unit and the movable unit and are provided so as to detect pressure applied in the direction parallel to the displacement direction of the slider. The movable unit includes an alternative finger hook that is arranged near a finger hook of the slider and serves as an operator that pushes and pulls the slider instead of the finger hook of the slider.
