Abstract: A system and method for adding error protection capability to a digital logic circuit, for example including random storage logic. Various aspects of the present disclosure, for example, comprise providing error protection against soft errors that occur during operation of digital logic circuitry.

Abstract: A radar system (44) for a vehicle (42) includes a transmit unit (56) and a receive unit (58). The transmit unit (56) includes a single beam antenna (72) for output of a radar signal (74) into a target zone (46). The receive unit (58) includes a single beam antenna (76) for receiving a direct receive signal (78) and an indirect receive signal (80). The receive signals (78, 80) are reflections of the radar signal (74) from an object (34, 36) in the target zone (46). The indirect receive signal (80) is reflected off the object (34, 36) toward a reflective panel (54) of the vehicle (42), and the indirect receive signal (80) is reflected off the reflective panel (54) for receipt at the receive antenna (76). The receive signals (78, 80) are summed to produce a detection signal (81) indicating presence of the object (34, 36) in the target zone (46).

Abstract: An optical assembly with mounting provided to effectively transfer heat away from an optic, such as a slab or waveguide amplifier or laser disk, while limiting internal stresses. The assembly includes an optic with a planar surface. A heat sink is positioned in the assembly with an upper surface next to the planar surface of the optic. The upper surface of the heat sink comprises a recessed surface defining a reservoir for containing a compliant heat transfer material. The assembly may further include a volume of the heat transfer material, such as a liquid metal or thermally conductive gel, in the reservoir of the heat sink. In one embodiment, the optic is a slab amplifier with a reflective coating or layer that directly contacts the heat transfer material in the heat sink reservoir or a foil or membrane is provided between the heat transfer material and the slab.

Abstract: A portable light weight desk enabling multiple user positions. The portable desk is configured as a multiple-member frame structure with interchangeable members that allow different configurations of a portable desk. The configurations include an upright configuration particularly suited for placement and use of electronic device in ergonomic positions for the user while laying down on a floor or in a seated position including seated in a vehicle. The portable desk top can also be arranged to be mounted with wheels for portability.

Abstract: An electrode harness for an electrocardiograph apparatus has a hollow tube for containing and housing the individual lead wires for each electrode and a flexible stylet which when bent, into a desired shape, will maintain that shape, until reshaped. The individual electrodes are slidably adjustable about the exterior of the hollow tube to enhance precise positioning of the electrodes to thereby maximize the proper recording of electro-cardiac information from the patient. All of the individual lead wires are bundled together and exit from the hollow tube at a single location. In addition, the electrical plug for the harness is uniquely configured so that it can only be plugged into the corresponding female receptacle of the electrocardiograph recording machine in the proper manner. The harness is also provided with a pair of straps which are adapted to be placed beneath the right shoulder and the left hip of the patient.
