A laser rangefinder, also known as a laser telemeter, is a rangefinder that uses a laser beam to determine the distance to an object. The most common form of laser rangefinder operates on the time of flight principle by sending a laser pulse in a narrow beam towards the object and measuring the time taken by the pulse to be reflected off the ...

According to the text of his patent, Bang's tape measure was an improvement on other versions previously designed. [22] The spring tape measure has existed in the U.S. since Bang's patent in 1864, but its usage did not become very popular due to the difficulty in communication from one town to another and the expense of the tape measure.
A simple scale hypsometer allows the height of a building or tree to be measured by sighting across a ruler to the base and top of the object being measured, when the distance from the object to the observer is known.
Length measurement, distance measurement, or range measurement (ranging) all refer to the many ways in which length, distance, or range can be measured.The most commonly used approaches are the rulers, followed by transit-time methods and the interferometer methods based upon the speed of light.
Bosch's ex-wife, an FBI agent, is pursuing a gang of Chinese nationals, one of whom is under a US investigation. As a result of her work, she is murdered in a drive-by shooting, just seconds after having lunch with Harry. Bosch gains a vital clue into his mother's murder after the long-retired detective of his mother's case is killed.
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a type of atomic emission spectroscopy which uses a highly energetic laser pulse as the excitation source. [1] [2] The laser is focused to form a plasma, which atomizes and excites samples. The formation of the plasma only begins when the focused laser achieves a certain threshold for optical ...
The Broselow Tape, also called the Broselow pediatric emergency tape, is a color-coded length-based tape measure that is used throughout the world for pediatric emergencies. The Broselow Tape relates a child's height as measured by the tape to their weight to provide medical instructions including medication dosages , the size of the equipment ...
