Abstract: Illuminated electric/EV mode light for electric and hybrid cars and trucks. A light illuminated outside the vehicle denoting EV mode and indicating when the vehicle is in electric/EV mode. External light installed, mounted or integrated into existing lighting housings or car/truck designs. Light mounted or installed outside the vehicle is connected to existing or new EV source trigger or original source to signal when vehicle is in electric/EV mode. When vehicle enters EV mode the exterior light either mounted, integrated or installed is illuminated from the source indicator control. This light may denote words or letters representing EV mode in the form of a light or symbol. Installed either during original manufacturing of the vehicle or after the vehicle is manufactured.

Abstract: A radar on a moving platform for three dimensional target recognition of a target on a flat or sloping terrain is described. The target is illuminated from a plurality of locations to generate images at many aspect angles. The radar is positioned at a low grazing angle with respect to the target for generating a shadow of the target on the flat or sloping terrain for each aspect angle of the plurality of aspect angles. The radar comprises an analog to digital converter for converting reflections from the target induced by radar illumination into target digital data and for converting reflections induced by the illumination from the flat or sloping terrain into terrain digital data.
