FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of the external dosimeter patch showing our design;
FIG. 2 is front view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a side view thereof;
FIG. 4 is a rear view thereof;
FIG. 5 is an end view thereof;
FIG. 6 is an opposing end view thereof; and,
FIG. 7 is a front perspective view of another alternative embodiment of an external dosimeter patch illustrating our design. The rear surface of this embodiment is disclaimed and the end and side views generally correspond to FIGS. 2-6 but with the shape of the lower tab portion being disclaimed.
The broken lines shown herein are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design. The illustrated device is not limited to the scale shown. The broken lines on the rear surface shown in FIG. 4 illustrates an adhesive material which may be used to attach the external dosimeter patch to a user. As shown by the shading and stippling on selected surfaces in FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the external dosimeter patch can be configured as a strip of a thin substrate with an outer surface comprising a black raised surface (as represented by the dark shading) and a proximately positioned planar white surface (as represented by the stippling).
Claims
