摘要:
A system and method of associating elevations with locations on an image map. The image map of a jobsite, e.g., a lot or building. is displayed on an electronic screen on a computer such as a smartphone or smart tablet. A user interface is used to allow a user to locate multiple different markers on different locations of the image map on the electronic screen. A user sets a marker by dragging a cursor to a location. Information is received from an electronic elevation determination device automatically or by manual control. That information represents an elevation of the electronic elevation device at a physical location matching the selected marker on the image map. The elevation information is then automatically associated with and printed beside the selected marker.

A tiltmeter to measure a variation in inclination of a structure from a given starting position. The tiltmeter has two pots, each pot contains an identical volume and identical height of an identical liquid. A communication device connects the two pots and allows the liquid to flow between the two pots by the principle of communicating vessels. Two optical measuring devices are provided, one optical measuring device per pot. Each optical measuring device measures a variation in height of the level of liquid in the associated pot. The optical measuring devices are fiber optic devices coupled to a common light source.

A face equipment for mechanical extraction in longwall mining, in particular in the underground hard coal mining industry, includes a face conveyor (17) arranged along the mining wall, an extraction device (18) that can be moved along the face conveyor (17), and shield support frames (10) supported on the face conveyor (17) at an angle thereto. In order to determine the height of the face opening, a flexible hose level (21) with a liquid-filled hose (22) placed between the face conveyor (17) and at least one main component of the shield support frame (10) is installed in the area of the face conveyor (17). A pressure sensor (23, 24, 28) is arranged on at least one end of the hose (22). An inclination measuring device (25, 26) is arranged on the face conveyor (17) and on the main component of the shield support frame (10).

A lift measurement system is provided for determining a position of a load during a lift operation. The system includes a display that includes a scale and encloses a movable indicator that moves relative to the scale. A linkage is in communication with the load and the scale, such that movement of the load is translated to movement of the indicator relative to the scale to provide an indication of the position of the load. A plurality of displays and linkages may be installed at various load support zones such that the relative position of the corresponding indicators provides feedback related to the orientation of the load.
摘要:
A hydrostatic measurement module senses elevation relative to a fluid reservoir under a reference pressure. The measurement module further includes a plurality of functions and modes. A zero function sets the display to zero at any selected benchmark elevation. One function allows the invention to measure heights and elevations beyond its physical reach. A hold function freezes stable display values. A mark function sets upper/lower limit tones described in the existing patent. A record function allows a large number of measurements to be taken for real-time calculation and display of average, minimum and maximum values. A scale function can be used to select one of five display scales. A resolution function permits more rapid readings at lower precision. A temperature function displays ambient temperature. A record data function is used to accumulate 135 or more individual data points within the measurement module or to download data as it is taken to a computer. such as a pocket personal computer (PC). An inspect/dump function allows downloading of stored recorded data to a PC, or inspection of stored data as a function of sequence and position. An elevation function can be used to display any desired elevation to make readings easier to correlate to drawings drafted in elevation relative to sea level.
摘要:
A device for providing one or more signals that are functions of a sensor module's altitude relative to a reference body of liquid. The sensor module has one or two hydrostatic pressure transducers, which transducers are linked to the bodies of liquid by respective liquid-filled elongated flexible conduits. The first two embodiments have only single transducers each connected by a single conduit to a single body of liquid. In each case, the body of liquid is under ambient atmospheric pressure plus added pressure to maintain a positive pressure with respect to ambient atmospheric pressure to prevent dissolved gases from coming out of solution and creating bubbles in the conduits. In a third embodiment, a differential transducer has one port linked to the body of liquid and a second port linked to a pressurized gas which also applies pressure to the body of liquid, again to maintain positive pressure within the operational limits of the device. In a fourth embodiment, a second body of liquid is contained within but not mixed with the first body of liquid which is also under atmospheric pressure and subjected to additional pressure. Each body of liquid is linked to a separate input port of the differential transducer. A fifth embodiment is similar in form to the fourth embodiment with the addition of a second pressure transducer linked to the first body of liquid only.
