  • Patent number: 8838219
    Abstract: A pregnancy test system (10) includes a carrier (14) carrying a plurality of (sensors 12) arranged in a fixed relationship relative to one another. A signal processing (circuit 42) processes data sensed by the sensors (12) and outputs a data signal representative of the pregnancy status of an animal being examined. A support arrangement (24) supports the carrier (14) in a desired position relative to the animal. A positioning mechanism (26) is associated with the carrier (14) for positioning the carrier (14) at the desired position relative to the animal.

  • Patent number: 8652063
    Abstract: Equipment (10) for non-invasively measuring a physiological process includes at least one receiver (12) to be placed relative to a body of a subject being examined to detect at least one signal from the body of the subject. A discrimination unit (20.1) determines if the at least one signal is a signal of interest associated with the physiological process. A processor (20) processes the signal of interest to enhance the signal of interest and suppresses other received signals that are not of interest.
