  • Publication number: 20100207026
    Abstract: An enhanced vision system and method for use with vision systems with an imager sensitive to infrared radiation of less than 2-microns in wavelength, to produce a first image signal. Another imager sensitive to infrared radiation at least 3-microns in wavelength may be used to produce a second image signal. Preferably, the first image signal represents sensed electric light sources, and the second image signal represents sensed background such as terrain, runways, structures, and obstacles. A signal processor combines an image signal representing locally maximum values of the first image signal with the second image signal to create a displayed image.

  • Patent number: 5988752
    Abstract: To overcome the antipathy some children have to car travel, a headrest 20 for a baby seat 10 comprises a backing element in the form of a human or animal shape (e.g. a clown) having a head 21 and a body 22, the head having projecting head parts (hair, ears, horns, or the like). The body may have limbs extending from it which may be bent around the child. Either or both pairs of limbs may have fasteners (e.g. VELCRO.TM. pads) at 25 to hold them around the child. The headrest may be constructed as a container or bag, closable at 25 by a zipper or by other fasteners such as VELCRO.TM. pads.
