A measuring apparatus is formed of a main body for forming a measuring apparatus, a cover disposed on the main body for covering the same, and a pair of elevating mechanisms disposed on a side portion of the main body opposite to each other. The elevating mechanisms move the cover in a vertical direction while supporting the cover in a horizontal state. Each elevating mechanism may include a male shaft with an external thread vertically disposed along the vertical direction of the cover, a femal...

An electrical base 32 having a stationary detection element 31 is fixed to a body case 11 movably supporting a spindle 13, and a synthetic resin made scale holder 34 is provided to synchronize with the spindle 13 and move through a guide 33. In addition, a scale 36 having a movable detection element 35 is adherently fixed to the scale holder 34 at a plurality of points. More specifically, a projection 51 is fixed through an adhesive layer 52 to the back face of the scale 36, and held in a accomm...

Measuring sensor to measure a gas, comprising: a housing having an inlet opening for the gas to be measured, a sensor chip located within said housing and having a sensor element at one end area of the sensor chip facing the inlet opening and an electrical connection connected electrically with the sensor element provided at another and, and with at least one contact trace which is electrically conducting, wherein the electrical connection is joined to the contact trace by laser welding.

A measuring cup has at least one ramp formed in relief radially inwardly on the inside surface of the measuring cup sidewall. At least one ramp rises from about the bottom edge of the sidewall to about the top edge of the sidewall. The indicia on an upwardly directed surface of the at least one ramp allows a user to look downwardly into the measuring cup to visually detect the volume level of the contents in the measuring cup, thereby eliminating the need to look horizontally at the cup at eye l...

A measuring device is disclosed that includes a shaft, a display and/or control unit pivotally supported on an upper end of the shaft, and at least one sensor element disposed in the shaft and operatively connected with the display/control unit. The shaft has at least one foldable shaft section. The device can be operated with one hand and allows flow measurements in channels of varying depth.

A measuring tape comprises a housing in which a pivot is disposed for mounting a reel. A tape blade is releasably wound on the reel such that the tape blade can be pulled out of an opening of the housing. The bottom of the housing is provided with an action slot in which a stop member is slidably disposed. As the stop member is pushed forward, the press portions of the front end of the stop member and the urging portion of an arresting piece pivoted in the housing work together to prevent the re...

An arrangement for measuring the blood flow from a multitude of individual flow measuring units (11, 11') arranged next to one another. The multitude of individual flow measuring units arranged next to one another permit a quick placing on of the measuring arrangement. Independently of the exact location on the human body on which the measuring arrangement is placed, always one artery, in particular the carotid artery lies neighbouring at least one of the flow measuring units.

A sensor, particularly for determining the oxygen content in exhaust gasses of internal combustion engines, includes sensor element which is fixed in a metallic housing and a sealing flange which is integrally formed on the housing and rests on a sealing seat which is formed on an exhaust system. The sealing flange has two ring elements which are integrally formed on the housing and each have an inclined sealing surface, a hollow space being formed between the two ring elements inside the housin...

A measuring jig preferably comprising an end engaging member for engaging a mitered end of a work piece, a mechanism for retaining a distal end of a measuring device adjacent to a reference point on a work piece, and member for retaining a measuring device. The invention may be supplemented by a measuring device such as a tape measure. The end engaging member is founded upon a base member with an end face engaging surface and a rear longitudinal face engaging surface coupled thereto to define a ...

A position measuring system to determine the absolute angle position of a rotor of a motor during startup. With this absolute angle position, correct commutation for startup of the motor is provided. During later operation a high-precision incremental angle measurement is possible. For this purpose a switching unit is disposed between a rotary transducer and an evaluation unit, which is driven in such a manner that first the analog signals necessary for the determination of the absolute angle po...
