This invention discloses a track caliper that can measure vertical and horizontal wearing of different track types. It includes a caliper bar and a big slider that can move along the caliper bar. A small slider, with a right-angle bayonet on its right, can move along the caliper bar jaw to set the desired measuring position. A positioning plate, articulated with a rotary arm, installs on the big slider jaw and has a structure to limit the rotary arm in the vertical direction. A crossing-groove block is slide-mounted on the rotary arm, a horizontal bar is slide-mounted on the crossing-groove block and can move perpendicular with the rotary arm. When the front measuring surface on the horizontal bar aligns with the measuring surface of the probe on the big slider jaw, the marking on the horizontal bar aligns with the “0” line on the crossing-groove block.

An inductive position encoder includes a scale, a detector and a signal processor. The scale includes a periodic pattern of signal modulating elements (SME) arranged along a measuring axis (MA) with a spatial wavelength W1. The detector comprises sensing elements and a field generating coil that generates a changing magnetic flux. The sensing elements comprise conductive loops that provide detector signals responsive to a local effect on the changing magnetic flux provided by adjacent SME's. Some or all of the conductive loops are configured according to an intra-loop shift relationship wherein equal “shifted proportions” of a loop are shifted in opposite directions by W1/4K. K is an odd integer. The intra-loop shift relationship can be used to suppress Kth spatial harmonic components in the detector signals, while also overcoming longstanding detrimental layout problems. It combines easily with “loop width” spatial filtering techniques that filter other spatial harmonic signal components.

A caliper measurement force detecting device includes a fixed unit that is securely attached to a slider so as not to displace relative to the slider; a movable unit that is provided to allow a slight displacement relative to the fixed unit along a direction parallel to a displacement direction of the slider; and pressure detectors that are arranged between the fixed unit and the movable unit and are provided so as to detect pressure applied in the direction parallel to the displacement direction of the slider. The movable unit includes an alternative finger hook that is arranged near a finger hook of the slider and serves as an operator that pushes and pulls the slider instead of the finger hook of the slider.

Provided is a tablet dimension measuring program for quickly sharing the dimensions of a tablet while ensuring accuracy of the measurement method. The tablet dimension measuring program is a tablet dimension measuring program for capturing an image of a tablet by using: measuring means for measuring a dimension of the tablet; dimension display means for displaying the dimension of the tablet measured by the measuring means; and imaging means for capturing images that each include a numerical value of the dimension displayed by the dimension display means and a measurement position of the tablet, in which the imaging means is used to capture at least one dimension information image that includes the measurement position of the tablet and the numerical value of the dimension and a drug information image with which drug information of the tablet is identifiable.

A measuring device for measuring a width (W) between a first edge (4) and a second edge (5) of spaced apart opposed edges (4, 5) of a slot (16) in a product (1′), comprising: a measuring part (18), with a measuring detector and a display (28), and provided with a first tab (37) configured to enter into the slot (16), and a slide (29), defining a longitudinal axis (X), being arranged so as to be adjustable relative to the measuring part (18) along the longitudinal axis (X), and provided with a second tab (46) being configured to enter into the slot (16).

The slide (29) is adjusted so that a first surface (44) of the first tab (37) contacts the first edge (4) and a second surface (49) of the second tab (46) contacts the second edge (5).

A distance (d) between the first surface (44) and the second surface (49) corresponding to the width (W) is detected by the measuring detector, and the value of the width (W) is displayed by the display (28).

The first and second tabs (37, 46) are oriented downwardly relative to the measuring part (18), perpendicular or transverse to the longitudinal axis (X) of the slide (29).

A tool for measurement of a body is proposed. It includes a caliper furnished with a slider, a fixed finger, a moving finger, and accessories including a first clamp mounted on the fixed finger, a first measuring standard associated with the fixed finger, a fixed leg having a first measuring face and a head securing the first measuring standard, a second clamp mounted on the moving finger, a second measuring standard associated with the moving finger, a moving leg having a second measuring face and a head securing the second measuring standard therein. The first measuring face is disposed to contact a first point of the body and, moving the slider, the second measuring face is disposed to contact a second point of the body, providing for measuring a length between the points, generally being greater than the caliper's length. The tool may additionally have intermediate measuring standards.

An embodiment of the invention is directed to an electronic caliper which combines positioning and measurement in one unit without the use of hydraulics for subsea use. In certain embodiments, several attachments can be affixed to accommodate a range of measurement tasks. In a preferred embodiment, one jaw is adjustable and the other, or opposing, jaw is fixed to a mounting structure. The jaws typically allow for the removal and replacement of other attachments. In another embodiment, the unit communicates to computer software for position control, precise indication and clamping for adjustment. In a preferred embodiment, computer software displays all feedback via laptop computer on surface. The caliper is maneuvered to a position proximate an object and used to measure a predetermined physical characteristic of the object. The measurement can be displayed using a computer with control software.
