Abstract: A system for presenting visual information to the operator of a vehicle at an apparent single plane of focus regardless of the viewer-to-object distance. The system includes an imaging device configured to capture images external to a vehicle. The system also includes a display configured to show the images captured by the imaging device to the operator and superimpose informational parameters onto the images.

Abstract: A flexible biopsy forceps device for acquiring more than one tissue sample comprises an elongated, flexible body having a central lumen and having a proximal end and a distal end. A control assembly is adjacent to the proximal end of the flexible body and a jaw assembly is coupled to the distal end. A jaw actuating means extends from the control assembly to the jaw assembly. The jaw assembly includes a pair of jaws that pivot from an open position to a closed position in response to movement of the jaw actuating means to surround and excise tissue samples. In their closed position, the jaw pair has a proximal opening aligned with the central lumen of the flexible body sized to allow passage of tissue samples. An intake means is disposed within the distal portion of the central lumen and may extend into the proximal opening of the jaw pair.

Abstract: A multiconductor cable (10) including a large number of coaxial conductor pairs (16), with the coaxial conductor pairs arranged in groups (14) each including several of the coaxial conductor pairs arranged in a required order as a modular array (18) with each of the conductor pairs of each array being held in a required position with respect to the others and supported with a portion of each central conductor (54) and each shield conductor (47) exposed at a predetermined position, for connection of the array to a corresponding array (28) of terminal pads (24, 26) on a circuit board (30) or the like. Each array includes support bodies (32, 34) of flexible dielectric sheet material adhesively attached to the coaxial conductor pairs to support them in the required positions. Apertures (70, 76) are defined in the sheet material to expose the conductors for simultaneous soldering to, or unsoldering from, the terminal pads (24, 26), without removal of the support bodies (32, 34) from the coaxial conductors.

Abstract: A solenoid device for treatment of body tissue such as bones or other regions with pulsed signals comprises a flexible flat belt for encircling a body part or cast surrounding a body part containing tissue to be treated. The belt has a plurality of parallel conductors extending along its length and has its opposite ends offset by one or more conductor spacings. The resultant aligned conductor ends are connected together to form at least one continuous coil, with the resultant unconnected outer conductor ends at opposite sides of the belt comprising inputs across which a suitable electrical signal can be connected. An adjustment device or buckle is mounted on the belt to allow the diameter of the belt to be adjusted. The buckle traps a doubled over portion of the belt circumference which is adjustable in length to change the diameter of the device to closely fit the underlying body part or cast.
