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 device, system and method of augmenting measure units, symbols and patterns upon various surfaces. These surfaces are convenient for such types of measurement applications such as, but not limited to, construction tape, work desks, and locations of building code consideration and placement within innovative areas such as internal paneling. The augmented measuring system can use a repeating pattern to improve referenceability and application.

Stud gap marker tape 10 comprises a strip element 12; and a plurality of gap marks 14, to facilitate stud positioning, to thus facilitate wall building. Preferably a portion or a whole of an underside of the strip element is adhesive, to facilitate sticking the strip element to a plate. Preferably the stud gap marker tape is provided rolled up, as a roll of tape. Disclosure is also provided of an apparatus 501, to make gap marks on a plate, to facilitate stud positioning, to thus facilitate wall building.

A deployable device includes a supporting structure, a deployable structure capable of switching from a configuration wound around a first axis to a configuration deployed according to a second axis substantially at right angles to the first axis, by being deployed by a length defined in a frame of reference of the supporting structure, wherein it further comprises a deployed length control device comprising a sensor and a computer linked to the sensor, a first conductive track electrically linked to the sensor extending on the deployable structure, substantially along the perimeter of the deployable structure, and forming one or more turns of a first coil in the wound configuration, and in that the sensor is configured to measure an electrical parameter from the first electrically conductive track which varies with the deployed length of the deployable structure and the computer is configured to determine the deployed length of the deployable structure.

A fishing rod ruler including an elongate flexible body with a number of length markings provided thereon, the elongate flexible body to be at least temporarily applied to a fishing rod.

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.

The present invention provides a barber instrumentality useful for verifying, establishing and producing accurate, symmetrical hair lines and hair art designs. In particular, methods are provided herein for the use of the instrumentality wherein precise measurements can be taken to accurately verify, establish and produce symmetrical hair lines and hair art designs on face, forehead, scalp or neck.

Sensor apparatus for an elevator with a hanging position measuring tape for detecting a critical change in length of the position measuring tape comprising a carrier, comprising a carriage on the carrier, comprising a tape holder on the carriage, comprising a tensioning device between the carrier and the carriage in order to be able to tension a secured positioning tape, comprising a detection device for detecting a critical displacement of the carriage on the carrier on the basis of a critical change in length of a position measuring tape to be mounted, and comprising an adjusting device.

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 deployable device includes a supporting structure, a deployable structure capable of switching from a configuration wound around a first axis to a configuration deployed according to a second axis substantially at right angles to the first axis, by being deployed by a length defined in a frame of reference of the supporting structure, wherein it further comprises a deployed length control device comprising a sensor and a computer linked to the sensor, a first conductive track electrically linked to the sensor extending on the deployable structure, substantially along the perimeter of the deployable structure, and forming one or more turns of a first coil in the wound configuration, and in that the sensor is configured to measure an electrical parameter from the first electrically conductive track which varies with the deployed length of the deployable structure and the computer is configured to determine the deployed length of the deployable structure.
