Abstract: A method of measuring strain in a test specimen comprises the steps of placing a pattern of marks on a surface of the test specimen, wherein the pattern of marks includes a plurality of target marks and a plurality of sets of coded marks, using the sets of coded marks to identify locations of at least two of the target marks, and using a change in distance between at least two of the marks to determine strain in the test specimen. An apparatus that performs the method is also provided.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for using a plurality of regions of colored light to index and locate discrete targets in photogrammetry systems. The colored regions of light are used to determine a unique location on the surface of a three-dimensional object. Multiple projections of colored regions may be used to determine precise locations on the surface of the object. Each colored region may be assigned a color-numeric identified to assist in the indexing process. The process is suitable for determining the shape of aircraft, watercraft and automotive parts.

Abstract: A closet extender includes a pair of elongated frame members which are securable to a horizontal closet pole so that they extend downwardly therefrom in substantially parallel, spaced relation and an elongated support member which is adjustably securable to the frame members so that it extends therebetween in downwardly spaced relation to the closet pole. The frame members and the support member are preferably made of a suitable substantially rigid wire and the support member is adapted for supporting garments on clothes hangers in downwardly spaced relation to the closet pole so that two vertically spaced rows of garments can be accomodated in a closet.
