  • Patent number: 8432309
    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).

  • Patent number: 4854323
    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.
