    Abstract: A measurement apparatus includes a measuring rod with a contact surface for contacting a workpiece. One or more proximity sensors is mounted on the measuring rod adjacent the contact surface. A brake shoe, responsive to the output of the proximity sensor, is provided to automatically clamp the rod in place when the sensor detects a surface interruption in the workpiece in order to prevent the rod from dipping into the interruption. The apparatus also includes a pair of leaf springs arranged to lift the rod and to separate the contact surface from the workpiece when the rod is clamped by the brake shoe.

    Abstract: Measuring apparatus for measuring the diameter of a workpiece over an extended range thereof being provided with first and second feelers adapted to engage the workpiece and respectively being mounted on first and second hold blocks. To achieve a high measuring accuracy, the spacing between the first and second hold blocks is controlled by a single threaded portion only formed on a motor-driven feed shaft, the shaft being rotatably supported in the first of the hold blocks but threadedly engaging a support thereof for causing the first hold block to move in one direction and being threadedly engaged with the second of the hold blocks for causing it to move in an opposite direction by twice as far upon rotation thereof by the driving motor therefor.

    Abstract: A fruit-on-tree sizing device includes a lower annular disc and an upper annular disc, from which first flexible arms and second flexible arms, with curved configuration, start internally, in opposite directions, and which respectively form a lower opening and an upper opening wherein the fruit is positioned. As the diameter of the fruit increases, the first flexible arms and the second flexible arms force the upper annular disc and the lower annular disc to rotate on themselves, in opposite directions. The device further includes a reading module intended for quantifying the relative movement of the upper annular disc with respect to the lower annular disc, and transmitter which transmits the measurements obtained to an external device.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes apparatuses and methods for measuring and/or comparing measurements of tires. Particular embodiments provide a tire measurement apparatus, comprising: at least one tire contact member configured to engage an outer diameter of a tire along a tread of the tire, at least one of the contact members being movable; and, a tire measurement or size indicator configured to indicate a size or graduation measured by the at least two tire contact members. Another embodiment provides a method of measuring the outer diameter of a tire, the method comprising: providing a tire measurement apparatus; placing the tire measurement apparatus in contact with a tire, where the two or more tire contacting members are arranged along an outer diameter of the tire along a tread of the tire; and, measuring the tire to indicate a measurement or size of the tire, where a measurement or size is generated.

    Abstract: A deformation detection apparatus includes a cell movement-control assembly to handle a linear motion and a rotational motion of a battery cell, a body that supports the cell movement-control assembly, a digital micrometer, and control circuitry. The control circuitry controls a displacement of the battery cell between a first position and a second position along a longitudinal axis through a scanning region of the digital micrometer and a plurality of rotational positions of the battery cell at a plurality of charge states and a plurality of discharge states. The control circuitry measures a plurality of outer diameter values of the battery cell for a plurality of linear positions and a plurality of rotational positions along the longitudinal axis of the battery cell and determines a change in a geometrical shape (deformation and/or strain) of the battery cell for the plurality of linear positions and the plurality of rotational positions.

    Abstract: Method for measuring a workpiece, comprising the method steps of: providing a workpiece, wherein the workpiece has a surface with a surface structure; predefining a geometric measured variable of the workpiece, wherein the geometric measured variable is a diameter of the workpiece and wherein the geometric measured variable and a nominal-actual deviation of the geometric measured variable are defined in a reference plane; predefining a measuring path; tactile sensing of measured values on the workpiece by bringing a measuring probe into contact with the surface of the workpiece and the measuring probe scans the workpiece in contact with the surface along the predetermined measuring path; computational determination of the geometric measured variable and the nominal-actual deviation of the geometric measured variable from the measured values within the reference plane; wherein the predefined measuring path lies at least partially outside the reference plane.

    Abstract: Method for generating a compatibility index between two ends of two tubes, in particular before welding operations, the method comprising the steps of: (a) marking an angular reference (M0) on each of the two ends, (b) orbital measurement of an inside radius of each of the ends; (c) determining an index of angular compatibility (INDthētak) between the two ends for an angular deviation (Θ, theta) between the angular references of the ends, said angular compatibility index deriving from a maximum difference between the inside radii of each opposite end, (d) iterating the step of determining the angular compatibility index for several values for angular deviation between the angular references of the ends; (e) generating an overall score for compatibility (Hk) between said two ends, the overall compatibility score being a function of the angular compatibility indices determined for several angular deviation values,
