A ruler surface structure for clear marks display in a dim light mainly comprises a ruler surface and a brightening layer. The ruler surface is marked with marks which are characters or lines. The brightening layer is laid on the marks to enhance the display and identification effect of the marks. By using the different light sensitivities formed by the brightening layer on the marks and the other regions of the ruler surface, including the functions of light reflection or luminescence, the marks can be clearly displayed and identified in the dim light.

In one embodiment, a method includes writing, using a magnetic head, a set of parallel shingled tracks onto a magnetic recording tape using specified drive parameters, changing one of the specified drive parameters, reading a set of selected data tracks on the magnetic recording tape using the changed drive parameter, changing a lateral head position while reading the set of selected data tracks using the changed drive parameter, comparing track error rates observed during reading at the different lateral head positions, selecting a reader offset value based on the comparing, and performing a further action using the selected reader offset value.

A tailor ruler includes a transparent substrate includes a series of scales, a series of parallel lines and a series of longitudinal lines respectively formed thereon, wherein the series of parallel lines and the series of longitudinal lines respectively perpendicularly correspond to one another. Each of the parallel lines and the longitudinal lines respectively has a series of reference lines formed thereof. Each intersection of the parallel lines and the longitudinal lines is formed with an identifying point. An anti-slip layer is disposed on the back surface of the transparent substrate, wherein the anti-slip layer is disposed along an edge of the transparent substrate. The anti-slip layer contains countless sharp particles, wherein the sharp particles are partially exposed relative to a surface of the anti-slip layer for promoting a fraction force of the anti-slip layer and enhancing an anti-slip effect of the tailor ruler.

A marking and display system includes a scanning apparatus, comprising a processor in data communication with a networking device, at least one input/output device, and computer memory, the computer memory comprising a program having machine readable instructions that, when effected by processor, perform the following steps: (a) scan an area of interest for a first scan; (b) determine the presence of at least one abnormality at the area of interest; and (c) provide a marking at an area substantially adjacent the at least one abnormality.

A method for forming an assembly of a plurality of components. The method includes receiving, by a controller, one or more assembly identification parameters and controlling, by the controller, a light array disposed along an assembly jig based on the one or more assembly identification parameters.

A bra gauging device is an apparatus which enables the wearer to measure the correct bra size corresponding to the actual bust size of the wearer, preferably up to a fraction of an inch. The apparatus includes a measurement band, a left cup-measuring mechanism, and a right cup-measuring mechanism. The measurement band facilitates the individual bust measurement of each breast as well as other breast-related measurements around the upper torso. The measurement band further supports the left cup-measuring mechanism and the right cup-measuring mechanism positioned against the breasts of the wearer. The left cup-measuring mechanism is used to measure the bust size of the left breast retained by the left cup. Likewise, the right cup-measuring mechanism is used to measure the bust size of the right breast retained by the right cup. The apparatus also includes a left wing body and a right wing body for lateral customization and support.
