MEASUREMENT DEVICE AND KIT AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME
A measurement device can include a plurality of wheel support modules. Each of the wheel support modules can be configured to attach to a different type of vehicle wheel and to provide for rotation of the vehicle wheel about an axis. An arm can be removably attached to the first wheel support module. A measurement element that measures deformation of the vehicle wheel can be moveably attached to the arm. The different configuration of each of the wheel support modules allows for various types of vehicle wheels to be measured for deformation using the same measurement device.

An Apparatus for Verifying the Inner Diameter of Tubulars Forming A Tubular String
A floating drift apparatus for verifying the inner diameter of tubulars as the tubulars are made up into a tubular string being run into a wellbore. A float section provides buoyancy to float the apparatus in fluid within the bore of a tubular, and a drift section has a drift element with a diameter substantially equal to the tubular inner diameter being verified, which may be the drift diameter. When running a tubular string, the apparatus is inserted into the bore of the tubular string, floating in the fluid. As joints of tubular are made up and run into the wellbore, the tubulars move downhole around the apparatus. Preferably, the floating drift apparatus can be visually detected. If an undersize ID is encountered, the floating drift apparatus will be pushed downhole and no longer visible; the operator can remove the undersize ID tubular from the string.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CHECKING DIAMETRAL DIMENSIONS OF AN ORBITALLY ROTATING PIN
An apparatus for checking the diameter of crankpins (15) of a crankshaft in orbital motion about a geometrical axis in a numerical control machine tool includes a V-shaped reference device (10), a measuring device (6) and a support device (4) fixed to the tool holding slide (2) that movably supports the reference device and the measuring device. A control device (50) for controlling automatic displacements of the apparatus towards and away from a checking condition, includes a programmable electric motor (60) and a transmission mechanism (62). The programmable electric motor is programmed to define a start position in which the automatic displacement of the apparatus away from the checking condition can be stopped, for instance a rest position or an intermediate position between the rest position and the checking condition. The programmable electric motor is also programmed to define a displacement speed and a checking method includes steps for controlling the automatic displacements towards the checking condition.

Tower guy wire maintenance apparatus
An operator controlled wire rope maintenance apparatus for remotely discerning and locating wire rope wear problems.
Agricultural Systems Having Stalk Sensors And Data Visualization Systems And Related Devices And Methods
The disclosure relates to agricultural systems. The systems have stalk sensor assemblies and/or data visualization systems. The stalk sensor assemblies are configured for assessing the size and other characteristics about crops, such as corn and other grains entering an agricultural implement, such as a harvester. The stalk sensor assemblies may use an estimation of the stalk perimeter to establish stalk size and therefore further features about the crop. The visualization system utilizes data from the stalk sensor assemblies to calculate and display relevant information about the crop.
