A method of making a gauge for verifying or calibrating an x-ray computed tomography device positions a first plurality of objects on a first substrate, and a second plurality of objects on a second substrate. The method also certifies the positions of both the first plurality of objects on the first substrate, and the second plurality of objects on the second substrate. After certifying both the first and second plurality of objects, the method couples the first substrate with the second substrate.

A valve clearance measuring assembly includes a panel having a first side, a second side, a forward edge and a rearward edge. The forward edge is extendable between a valve tip and a rocker arm. The first and second sides of the panel each are planar and orientated planar with respect to each other. A head includes a central member and a pair of arms. The arms extend in a generally same direction with respect to each other to define a space between the arms. The panel is attached to the arms and traverses the space. The forward edge is in static communication with the arms such that the forward edge is in a linear configuration as the forward edge traverses the space.

An edge defect gauge that measures a size of edge defects of glass sheets, the edge defect gauge comprising: a body including opposite end edges and opposite side edges that extend between the end edges forming a body, the body having opposite flat faces; and at least one of (i) a dog ear measuring projection extending outward from one of the end edges at one of the side edges, the dog ear measuring projection having a predetermined height and a predetermined length or (ii) a cantilever measuring recess extending inward from the other end edge at the one of the side edges, the cantilever measuring recess having a predetermined height and a predetermined length.

A system and method for displaying surf training instructional information is used to improve a user's pop-up, as it relates to popping up on a surfboard, and improving one's surf fitness. The visual illustrations indicates the position of a surfer's hands, their body when lying on their surfboard and/or where their feet should land when they pop-up into their surfing stance on a surfboard, which can engraved, drawn or painted onto a surface of any type. The system and method also has visual instructional guidelines for performing exercises and stretches that can be done to improve a user's surf strength, balance, flexibility and endurance. By using this system and method a user will improve their pop-up (jump) and overall surf fitness in order to become a better surfer.

A marking and measuring device for assessing a need for a brake adjustment includes a shaft. A marking means is selectively couplable to a first end of the shaft, positioning a user to grasp the shaft proximate to a second end of the shaft and to manipulate the shaft so that the marking means leaves a mark on a push rod of a brake. A ruler is coupled to the shaft proximate to the second end. The shaft is configured to be grasped in the hand of the user proximate to the first end of the shaft, positioning the user to abut the second end to a brake cylinder so that the shaft is substantially parallel to the push rod. The ruler is configured to measure the distance traveled by the mark on the push rod when the brake is actuated to ascertain a need for a brake adjustment.

A spacer tool for assembling a glass panel on a frame is provided. The spacer tool includes a body defining a central axis and a width along the central axis. The spacer tool includes a bore disposed within the body and axially aligned along the central axis. The bore is adapted to receive an alignment pin disposed on the frame. The spacer tool also includes a plurality of lands disposed on the body. Each of the plurality of lands is disposed substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the central axis, each of the plurality of lands is adapted to selectively contact an edge of the glass panel. Each of the plurality of lands is disposed at a distance relative to the central axis different from one another.

A calibration block dimensioned and adapted to set a consistent, repeatable furrow depth for planter units. The calibration block provides a deck with a slot for receiving a first plate for supporting a distal end of the planter unit when setting its gauge wheels, whereby the first plate is flush with the deck at a predefine distance from the soil. The calibration block also provides a gauge block and associated second plate for increasing the predefined distance, if the user so desires.
