Abstract: A system, device, and method for adjusting a position of a thermocouple located in a channel within a brake pad, a tip of the thermocouple being aligned with a top surface of the brake pad. The device includes a wheel configured to be turned in a first direction, causing a rod to move downward to contact and push the thermocouple into the brake pad. The device also includes a gauge configured to measure and display a downward distance moved by the rod when the wheel is turned, the downward distance corresponding to a distance between the tip of the thermocouple and the top surface of the brake pad.

Abstract: An optical measuring apparatus for magnifying displacement includes a seat, a movable abutting member, a plurality of static optical sensing elements and a dynamic optical sensing element. The seat includes a positioning groove. The movable abutting member is pivotally connected to the seat and corresponding to the positioning groove. An object is sandwiched between the movable abutting member and the positioning groove. The static optical sensing elements are disposed on the seat. The dynamic optical sensing element is disposed on the movable abutting member. There is an optical sensing distance between the dynamic optical sensing element and one of the static optical sensing elements. The dynamic optical sensing element is moved along an arc path by the movable abutting member so as to change the optical sensing distance, and a change of the optical sensing distance is greater than a change of a diameter of the object.

Abstract: A measuring device which reduces reading errors caused by parallax. The measuring device has a gauge head abutting against an object to be measured, and includes a pointer-type display part which displays displacement of the gauge head obtained by being enlarged by an enlarging mechanism and being converted into a rotation amount of a pointer. The measuring device further includes a transparent cover plate provided so as to cover the pointer-type display part, and the cover plate has an antireflection film on the surface. The cover plate further has an antifouling film on the antireflection film. The cover plate has a flat surface.

Abstract: A sampling apparatus contains: a tubular member, a pressing mechanism, a forcing member, and a movable sampling member. The tubular member includes an inner thread section, an orifice, a stepped shoulder, a first fixing hole, and a second fixing hole. The pressing mechanism includes a press member, a driving member, a resilient element, and an elastic hook. The driving member includes an inserting segment, an aperture, a retaining slot, and a receiving groove, and two ends of the resilient element abut against the driving member and the forcing member. The cylindrical member includes an outer thread section and two opposite positioning recesses. The forcing member includes a needle and two opposite locating stems. The movable sampling member includes a hollowly lower side, a hollow affixing mount, a hollow tool, and a blade.

Abstract: The pipe measurement device has a pipe measurement tool body that partially encompasses a diameter of a pipe, a tubing, and such. An opening in the pipe measurement tool body is equipped with a pair of counter wheels and an opposingly positioned adjustment wheel for fitting the device to the pipe. A user tracks the device along a given length of the pipe. A counter with display screen is in operational communication with the counter wheels and records a distance traveled along the pipe and therein denotes an accurate measurement.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for measuring deformation of a surface of a pipe. The apparatus has a central portion to which a detector section is mounted. At each side, guides are connected to the housing via arms. The housing has a platform below which an inverted U-shaped section is provided, with the platform forming the base of the U. At the rear of this section a wheel is rotatably mounted on an axle. Forward of this, and also within the U-shaped section is mounted a further U-shaped section. This is pivotally mounted at its rear end by means of a pin such that its forward end is free to move vertically. The forward end has mounted within it a further wheel on an axle. Projecting upwards from the second U-shaped section is a rod which passes through a hole in platform. Around the lower portion of the rod is provided a spring which biases the detector downwards and away from the platform. The rod moves vertically with the wheel as it passes over bumps in the pipe.
