An ECU device which estimates a length of a lower limb of a seated person who is seated in a vehicle seat is shown. The ECU device includes the following. A thigh angle information obtainer obtains information regarding a thigh angle of the seated person. A back knee angle information obtainer obtains information regarding a back knee angle of the seated person. An estimator estimates the length of the lower limb of the seated person based on the information regarding the thigh angle obtained by the thigh angle information obtainer and information regarding the back knee angle obtained by the back knee angle information obtainer.

A device for measuring a workpiece surface along an X-axis, the measured surface residing generally within an X-Y plane. The measuring device has a ring body supported on a pivot body for pivoting in a limited angular range about a pivot axis spaced from and substantially parallel to the X-axis. The measuring device also has a base fixed in the direction of the Y-axis and a ring body supported on the base for limited movement relative to the base in a direction substantially parallel to the Y-axis. A measurement wheel is rotatable about an axis of rotation defined by the ring body and rolls along the workpiece surface when the workpiece and the measurement device move relative to one another in the direction of the X-axis.

Measuring device (1) for measuring the length of sealing profiles (2) in a sealing profile application device, comprising a measuring belt (4). The measuring belt runs over at least two rollers (3a, 3b). The measuring belt (4) and/or at least one of the rollers (3a, 3b) interacts with a measured value acquisition system (5), a transport fixture (6) with a conveyor belt (7) running over rollers (3a, 3b) being arranged opposite the measuring belt (4). The measuring device (1) is arranged in an application head (8) of the sealing profile application device’. Also, a measuring belt contact area (KM) of the sealing profile (2) with the measuring belt (4) extends longer than a transport contact area (KT) of the sealing profile (2) with the conveyor belt (7).

The present invention provides an apparatus for measurement of a limb circumference, comprising a pull string module, a first measurement module and a second measurement module. The pull string module comprises a surrounding component, wherein the surrounding component comprises an encircling part disposed around a limb of an individual; the first measurement module is disposed at the pull string module and moves alone the longitudinal axis of the limb and meanwhile measures the length of the limb; and the second measurement module measures the length of the encircling part simultaneously when the first measurement module move alone the limb, so as to determine the correlation between the limb length and the limb circumference. The present invention further provides a device including two or more apparatuses of the present invention to measure the limb compliance and to be used in the treatment of lymphedema.

In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a device for measuring length of feedstock being fed to a tool operated directly by a user. The device includes a body, configured to be removably attached to the tool. The device also includes a display, mounted in the body, and visually accessible to the user. The device also includes a measurement wheel mechanically mounted to the body and configured to be mechanically biased to the feedstock under a condition wherein the body is attached to the tool. The device also includes an encoder coupled to the measurement wheel and configured to generate a signal indicative of angular position of the wheel. The device further includes a processor, disposed in the body, coupled to the encoder and the display and configured to cause the display to show a measure indicative of a length of the feedstock that has been fed to the tool.

A spacer insertion device is disclosed. The spacer insertion device comprises a spacer insertion mechanism fixed on a base body of a core detection device of a coring instrument, wherein the spacer insertion mechanism comprises a slider and a cylinder body, an output end of the cylinder body is connected with the slider, and the slider is slidably connected with the base body to push a spacer to the a core channel provided in the base body and in communication with a core barrel.

A method for determining the length of a line involves determining a length of a first electrical line, determining an identifier of the first electrical line, determining a length of a second electrical line, which is intended for installation in an electrical installation assembly, based on the length of the first electrical line and a starting length determined by means of the identifier.

A bale identification assembly for use with an agricultural baler (18) includes a first supply roll mounted on the baler providing a binding material (52) used by the knotter system to bind the formed bale, the binding material (52) on the first supply roll comprising identification tags (62) at spaced intervals along the binding material. The bale identification assembly includes a second supply roll mounted on the baler (18) providing a binding material without identification tags, wherein the knotter system combines the binding material with identification tags (62) from the first supply roll with the binding material without identification tags from the second supply roll to bind the formed bale. The bale identification assembly includes a read module with one or more antennas configured to transmit interrogator signals and also receive authentication replies from the identification tags (62).

Improvements in a mechanism that determines top dead center of an internal combustion engine where detecting the top of the stroke can be difficult to determine as the crank is being rotated. The gauge set mounts into a spark plug or fuel injector hole. These holes are usually a tapped hole where the piston position gauge can be threaded into, to provide a stable and concentric mount where the measurement pin passes through the exterior threaded shaft of the mount. A pin extends into the cylinder to determine when the piston is approaching and at the top of the cylinder. The mount is an elongated stalk that allows for additional cam gauges where the cam gauges can be mounted and linearly adjustable on the single stalk. The measurement is with dial indicators so a user can measure three varying engine parts to determine the top-dead-center.

A core detection device of a coring instrument includes a base body and a core switch mechanism provided on the base body. The base body is provided with a core channel communicated with a core barrel. The core switch mechanism includes a detection portion, a connecting rod assembly and a travel switch which are sequentially arranged and connected along a length direction of the coring instrument. The detection portion is rotatably installed on the base body and one end thereof is extended into the core channel, so that a core passing through the core channel pushes the detection portion to rotate. The connecting rod assembly can be pulled by the rotating detection portion to trigger the travel switch to operate. The core switch mechanism adopts a slider-connecting rod structure, and the kinematic pairs are mainly a sliding pair and a rotating pair.
