AUTOMATIC PLUMB AND LEVEL TOOL

... 2071968 9207290 PCTABS00012 An automatic plumb, level and pointing tool uses a visible laser diode (42) to project a beam in any of three different modes through a beam exit window (30). The tool, approximately the size and shape of a tape measure, can be placed on one edge (14) to project a tilt-compensated vertical beam. Placed on another edge (16) 90· rotated, the tool projects through the same exit window a tilt-compensated horizontal beam. When laid on either of its larger flat sides (24), the tilt compensation becomes inoperative and the tool projects a beam which is fixed relative to the housing. In a preferred embodiment, separate pendulous or cantilevered mirrors (52) and (60) are used for vertical and horizontal tilt correction and are selected by the influence of gravity as the tool is laid on one edge or the other. In further described embodiments, two separate laser diodes (124a, 124b) may be used, or the laser tool may be integrated with other tools such as a tape measure ...

Length measuring appts for lathe settings etc - has two scale ranges, one for main other for fine measure

The length measuring apparatus is especially designed to measure the adjusting and setting distances on machine tools. A measuring wheel cooperates with a measuring surface. The wheel operates an indicating system. The complete measured path is shown upon a scale scroll against a fixed pointer. Extended finer measurements are shown on a further scale scroll with an adjustable pointer. An adjusting element (17) can change both scales. By gently pressing inwards and turning, the scale with the extended finer measurements can be altered, while an additional pressing and turning of the element (17) enables the other scale to be altered.

Length measuring appts for lathe settings etc - has tensioned steel band on which measuring reel turns

The length measuring apparatus is especially designed to measure the adjusting and setting distances on machine tools. A measuring reel (3) reaches upon a tensioned steel band (9). An indicating system (4, 5) is coupled with the reel (3) to show the distance covered. The band (9) is set at a tangent to the reel (3) and is pressed against it from another reel (18). After the band (9) has passed the measuring reel (3) it can be wound upon a further reel by the force of a spring. Alternatively, the band tension can be produced by a suspended weight. A toggle can be used to ensure identical spring tension or weight value for regular band tension so avoiding inaccuracies caused by stretching.

Length measuring appts. for lathe settings etc. - has measuring drum with steel band fixed to reference point

The length measuring apparatus is especially designed to measure the adjusting and setting distances on machine tools. The length measurement is carried out by means of a steel band (7) fixed at a reference point to a screw shaped cylindrical measuring drum (5). The drum (5) turns against the tension of a return spring when the housing carrying the drum is pushed. The first turn of the steel band (7) on the drum (5) is fixed to a gradation equal to the width of the band. Elements either press the band axially or rotate close axially in front of the band to ensure a tight winding of the following turns of the steel band.

Frequency-Based Detection of Chemical Expansion Dynamics in Thin Films

Current techniques for measuring chemical expansion in thin film structures are too slow, too imprecise, or require synchrotrons. In contrast, nanoscale electrochemomechanical spectroscopy (NECS) can be used to make nanoscale measurements at time scales of seconds with simple contact or non-contact sensors. In a NECS measurement, a sample, such as thin-film oxide structure, is subjected to a temporally modulated stimulus, such as a sinusoidally alternating voltage. The stimulus causes the sample to expand, contract, deflect, or otherwise deform. A sensor, such as a contact probe or optical sensor, produces an electrical signal in response to this deformation that is correlated with the temporal modulation of the stimulus. Because the stimulus and deformation are correlated, the temporal modulation of the stimulus can be used to filter the deformation signal produced by the sensor, producing a precise, sensitive measurement of the deformation. 1.
