Description

FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a multi-sensor.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the multi-sensor.

FIG. 3 is a back view of the multi-sensor.

FIG. 4 is a right side view of the multi-sensor.

FIG. 5 is a left side view of the multi-sensor.

FIG. 6 is a top view of the multi-sensor.

FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the multi-sensor; and,

FIG. 8 is an off-angle view of the multi-sensor.

Diagonal line shading is used to indicate a transparent area of the multi-sensor through which light may pass.

Stipple shading is used in FIGS. 1 through 8 to convey surface contours; the stipple shading is not to be understood as conveying a particular surface finish.

The broken lines show portions of the multi-sensor that form no part of the claimed design.

The “dash-dot” broken lines define the bounds of the claimed design and form no part thereof.

Claims

We claim the ornamental design for a multi-sensor, as shown and described.
