Techniques regarding a nose to tragus length measuring tape for determining an endotracheal tube insertion depth are provided. For example, in one or more embodiments a measuring tape is provided, which can comprise an indicium representing an insertion depth of an endotracheal tube based upon a direct correlation between a nasal to tragus length of a patient and the insertion depth.

Embodiments provide a calibration tool for measuring a distance between a transducer and a liquid surface of an open channel, including: a pole; a flat board attached to the pole, configured to reflect a signal from the transducer, wherein the flat board is substantially perpendicular to the pole; a level device provided on the flat board, configured to ensure that the flat board is substantially parallel to a bottom of the open channel during a measurement; and a measuring scale provided on the pole.

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 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.

A system and method is disclosed for measuring the dimensions of physical objects. The systems and methods include a measuring instrument of significant length comprising an array of patch antennas arranged along the length of an elongate substrate such that the antenna array expands and contracts with the substrate. The system also includes a diagnostic computing device for measuring the array's electrical properties including resonance frequency and changes in said properties relative to reference electrical properties that correspond to a reference length of the array and substrate. Accordingly, based on the measured changes in electrical properties and the reference length, the diagnostic system can calculate the current length of the measuring instrument. Accordingly, the disclosed systems and methods can provide self-calibrating measuring systems and measuring systems capable of being deployed onto a structure for periodically calibrating the structure's dimensions as it expands or contracts during operation.

A tag assembly for measuring a characteristic of a tree includes a band and a shield strip. The band is configured to encircle the tree and has a plurality of tags spaced apart along the band. The shield strip extends along the band to thereby shield a number of tags in the plurality of tags such that the plurality of tags includes shielded tags and unshielded tags. The shield strip prevents the shielded tags from being read or emitting signals and while the unshielded tags can be read or emit signals such that the characteristic of the tree can be determined.

A measurement device and method that allows for precise placement, as well as more accurate measurement of various body parts, including vessels, lesions, and/or lumens of vessels of various body parts. The measurement device comprises one or more measurement tapes having (i) a plurality of measurement marks for measuring a distance and/or a length of a vessel and (ii) a plurality of circular indicators for measuring a diameter of a lumen of the vessel.

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.

In the construction of a building at least part of the information about the fabrication of the building, including what construction elements are to be used in the building and their location for carrying out said construction, is input in a computer software program to generate a plurality of marking information; said marking information is printed on a tape or strap, e.g. using a CNC printing machinery and the printed tape or strap is affixed or connected to a corresponding construction component to be used in said building. The markings may include the position of at least one of: beginning and/or end of a construction element; a cutting location for the cutting of a construction element; an anchor holder; nails or bolts for positioning string lines; plumbing drains; pipes; window assemblies; door headers; studs, posts and cripple studs; joists or rafters; chalk lines; plywood sheating.
