Abstract: A fluid turbidity or filter clog sensor comprises a light source and a detector having at least one sensor position to cross a flow path or a filter element in order to improve the correspondence of the light intensity received at the receiver in correspondence with the turbidity level or clogging level occurring in the test cell. The detector preferably includes a direct path sensor, a scattered path sensor positioned to cross the flow path from the transmitter, and the reference light sensor communicating with the source outside of the test chamber. Moreover, the direct path may be a straight line path or a reflected path through the flow path when a fluid having a low level of turbidity is passed through the test cell. Likewise, the sensor includes means for compensating for changes in the illuminating source, changes for temperature variations occurring at the test cell, and compact packaging for convenient installation and improved production capacity.

Abstract: A warning module for use with a motor vehicle having multiple sensor inputs and multiple sensor outputs. The inputs are coupled to sensing circuits for monitoring a condition such as engine temperature. The outputs are coupled to one or more light bulbs or other visual indicators which are activated at a lamp flash frequency. A variable frequency oscillator activates an audible output device, preferably a piezoelectric buzzer. The light output levels are diminished for nighttime use. A plastic housing supports a piezo-electric transducer and reverberation plate and achieves a high sound output.

Abstract: A body positioning device (10) for elevating, supporting and securing the legs of a cadaver (40) at various displacements from a supporting surface (42) for various procedures in preparation for burial. The body positioning device (10) comprises a first support (12), a second support (14), and a base (34). The first support (12) and second support (14) include receptacles or indentations (28) dimensioned to receive cadaver legs (40) and are connected such that the body positioning device (10) may be oriented in various positions to obtain a plurality of displacements of the cadaver legs (40) from a support surface (42). The base (34) acts as a cantilever to overcome the moment caused by the weight of the cadaver to prevent tilting of the body positioning device.

Abstract: An electrical switch assembly is shown as having a switch body slidably receiving a resiliently biased manually actuatable plunger which carries a resiliently deflectable member effective for engaging, when said plunger is suitably actuated, a related pivotally supported member which, in turn, is operatively connected to a movable electrical contact member effective for contacting cooperating relatively stationary electrical contacts.

Abstract: A lamp assembly, such as an indicator or illuminator type, has a main body structure detachably securable to an associated support as, for example, an instrument panel of a related vehicle, with such body structure enabling the easy connection thereto of an associated light shield; the body structure carries a separately formed resiliently deflectable detent member enabling easy assembly and disassembly of the shield with respect to the body structure as well as an infinite selection of angular adjustment of the shield relative to body structure.

Abstract: In one aspect of the invention a detachable lens shield is formed of relatively resiliently deflectable material and made in a generally tubular configuration with an internally formed textured-like surface for enhancing the gripping action thereof onto a coating lens.

Abstract: A multi-function electrical switch assembly has body sections defining therebetween a chamber containing spaced fixed electrical contacts and spaced moveable electrical contacts carried by a plunger member which is resiliently restrained from moving the moveable contacts toward the fixed electrical contacts; a second set of electrical terminals are defined by a fixed terminal connected to a moveable deflectable arm carrying a first contact which, upon such arm being sufficiently deflected by the plunger, engages a cooperating second fixed contact.
