  • Patent number: 5373281
    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 piezo-electric 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.

  • Patent number: 5230339
    Abstract: A test system is disclosed for facilitating analysis and evaluation of medical performance of ultrasonic examination equipment, including ultrasonic imaging systems, Doppler ultrasonic systems and ultrasonic color flow mapping systems. The test system is employed while the ultrasonic examination system is operating. A test transducer apparatus is positioned at a location at which it receives incident ultrasonic energy from the examination system. Receiver and analyzer circuitry senses and identifies characteristics of the incident ultrasonic energy being produced by the examination system, and electronically produces signals representing these sensed characteristics. A storage device is provided to preserve representations of these characteristics.
