    摘要: In some embodiments, an articulated arm coordinate measurement machine can include a plurality of transfer members and a plurality of articulation members connecting the plurality of transfer members to each other to measure an angle between the transfer members. The machine can additionally include at least one coordinate acquisition member positioned at an end of the articulated arm. Further, the machine can include a harness connected to at least one of the group consisting of the transfer members and the articulation members to support at least a portion of the weight of the transfer members and the articulation members. The harness can also be configured to mount to a human.

    摘要: A measuring wheel for determining a ground-traverse distance while operated by a user. The measuring wheel comprising a wheel, a ground-traverse element, a processing element, a memory element, a communications element, and a handle. The wheel has a known radius and is rotatably secured to the ground-traverse element. The ground-traverse element is configured for determining the ground-traverse distance by measuring rotation of the wheel. The processing element, the memory element, and the communications element are located within a central housing of the measuring wheel for receiving and wirelessly communicating information indicative of the ground-traverse distance to an external computing device. The handle is secured to a housing of the ground-traverse element and is configured to be grasped by the user during operation to move the wheel.
