PURPOSE:To measure a volume simply and conveniently, by using two chambers, whose volumes are known, enclosing a body to be measured in one chamber, measuring the temperature and pressure of each chamber, then communicating both chambers, measuring the temperature and pressure, and performing an operation process. CONSTITUTION:A body to be measured (z) is enclosed in a main chamber 1. A closing valve 3 is closed so that the main chamber 1 and a subsidiary chamber 2 are shut off. A closing valve 4 is opened and an oxygen is supplied into the subsidiary chamber 2 through a pump mechanism 5. The inside of the chamber 2 is pessurized and the pressure, which is different from that in the main chamber 1, is set. Under this state, the pressures and the temperatures of the main chamber 1 and the subsidiary chamber 2 are measured. Then the closing valve 3 is opened and the main chamber 1 and the subsidiary chamber 2 are communicated. Then the temperature and pressure under the balanced state are measured. The volume of the body to be measured (z) is computed by using the obtained measured values and an equation of state of gas. Thus the volume is measured simply and conveniently. |

PURPOSE:To detect the amount of water through simple constitution by comparing the power feeding time of a heater with the time of a timer wherein prescribed time is set. CONSTITUTION:This describes a decrease in the amount of water below a prescribed value. If feeding to a heater 3 is completed in the time of a timer determined by an oscillating circuit 5 and counter circuit 6 for the timer, the transistor 40 of a feed detecting circuit 8 in operation turns off. On the other hand, the Q' output of the flip-flop circuit 28 of the counter 6 is at a level H during timer counting operation and an annunciating and oscillating circuit 7 starts oscillating. Once said circuit 7 oscillates, a decrease in the amount of water is annunciated through a speaker 12. When the amount of water further decreases, the heating time of the heater 3 is further shortened and the annunciation time is extended. |

PURPOSE:To enable an inexpensive and reliable measurement of a capacity of a gas bag, by a method wherein a capacity measuring device is constituted such that a change in height of the gas bag is measured by means of a rotary variable resistance level meter, and changes in width of the gas bag are detected using micro switches. CONSTITUTION:A suspension frame 1 of a gas bag 2 and a weight 4 are tied through a string 3, and a rotary variable level meter 5 measures a change in height. Micro switches 6 and 7 are mounted at supporting bars 8 and 9 positioned at a given distance, and detect a change in width. Signals from the micro switches 6 and 7 are sent to an OR circuit 11 via an AND circuit 10 togetherwith signals from the rotary variable level meter 5. When either signal in the AND circuit 10 or a signal I1 from the level meter 5 indicates the highest limit, the input valve of the gas bag 2 closes. This permits the reliable measurement of a flow-in amount of gas in the gas bag 2 and enables the prevention of the rupture of the gas bag. |

A device for measuring the volume of a female breast. In one embodiment, a circular template or sheet of transparent, flexible material is capable of being formed into a hollow cone whose size can be adjusted. Calibrations are provided selectively for indicating a series of breast volume measurements directly. In use, the sheet is formed into a cone around the breast and adjusted in position to conform to the compressed configuration of the breast. The volume of the breast contained in the cone is then read directly from the calibrations on the sheet. In another embodiment, a rectangular template or sheet of transparent flexible material is capable of being formed into a hollow cylinder which can be adjusted in diameter selectively. Calibrations are provided on the sheet for indicating the inside volume of the cylinder at different locations along its length for different inside diameters of the cylinder. A plunger or disk is provided which is sized to move inside the cylinder. In use, the sheet is formed into a cylinder around the breast, adjusted in diameter to contain the breast tightly and then locked at that position. The plunger or disk is then inserted into the cylinder and pressed against the breast lightly so as to compress the breast completely to fill the cylinder. The volume of the cylinder filled by the compressed breast is then read directly from the calibrations on the sheet. |
