Abstract: Disclosed is an imaging transducer holding device for use with a patient that includes a holding structure which holds an imaging transducer and an attachment portion which attaches the holding structure to a patient. The holding device is useful for assessing the condition of a patient's blood vessel via ultrasound imaging. Also disclosed are a system and a method for imaging the vascular condition of a patient, the system containing the holding device and an imaging transducer.

Abstract: A tactical pair of pants for police, military or other weapon-carrying personnel has a cargo pocket system that functions to store items in several pocket compartments in a normal cargo pocket configuration, or to carry a thigh rig holster for a pistol, in a dedicated position between cargo pocket compartments without blocking access to the pocket compartments.

Abstract: A tactical shirt helps reduce the weight and bulk of items normally carried on a police officer's duty belt. A hidden front pocket extends essentially from the shirt's placket to the side seam of the shirt, providing a large cavity with an ample vertical opening line that is very conveniently used for a handgun, baton, handcuffs, mace, knife and/or spare magazines. No seam that would reveal the hidden pocket is readily visible, and the pocket's opening seam extends above and below the pocket opening and appears as a design feature of the shirt. With a fabric weight of at least about five ounces per square yard, a considerable weight and bulk of weapons can be hidden in the pocket without being noticeable to others.

Abstract: A tactical vest particularly for police has a hidden pocket which extends between panels of fabric to the back of the vest and preferably completely around the vest to the opposite side. A large patch of material with loop fasteners, preferably nearly as tall as the pocket opening, is engagable against two strips of hook fasteners on the inner panel as a module. A gun holster with hook-type fasteners can be placed at any desired location on the module for convenient retrieval by the user. Similarly, the module itself can be located and oriented in any manner desired by the user. This versatility enables the officer to position his gun holster in a personally most convenient and most readily retrievable position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit for the control of a piezoelectric drive (1). An output signal of a first measurement circuit (4) is applied to a first input of a phase detector (5), an output signal of a logic circuit (10) or an output signal of a second measurement circuit (13) is applied to a second input of the phase detector (5), a second output signal of the logic circuit (10) is applied as an input signal to a final stage (2) which serves to supply an alternating voltage to the piezoelectric drive (1), a loop filter (7) processes the output signal of the phase detector (5) and supplies a control signal to a voltage-controlled oscillator (6), whose output signal is supplied to the input of the logic circuit (10), and a delay element (8) has been provided to adjust the frequency of the optimum operating point and efficiency of the controlled piezoelectric drive (1).

Abstract: A revolver or a hand grip for an associated revolver which includes first and second clam shell shaped portions disposed in nested relationship. One of the portions may include a tang dimensioned and configured to engage the hand of the user intermediate the thumb and forefinger. The apparatus may include a third clam shell portion that is substantially the same as the one portion except that the third portion does not include a tang.
