A raw water isolator for watercraft for providing treated fluid to loop of air conditioning units, freezers, ice makers, gyro stabilizers and the like systems. The raw water isolator provides a closed loop of treated fluid to prevent such systems from exposure to raw water known to contain biological material capable of fouling the units, and associated corrosion when salt water is used for the cooling mechanism. The apparatus employs a storage and expansion tank for holding a volume of fluid that is circulated through the marine units. A heat exchanger selected for ease of cleaning provides heat transfer between the cooling fluid and raw water.

A virtual oven efficiently conducts stress testing of large numbers of modules. The virtual oven includes a logical grouping of modules, a controller, test instruments and a database which are all connected via a network. The logical groupings of modules of several virtual ovens may be physically accommodated within a single environmental stress screening room. Switching between modules in a logical group permits a single test piece of test equipment to be time-shared among the modules in the logical group. The method of bum-in testing a logical group of modules rotates a test sequence, including passive and active test cycles, between the modules. A test signal is split and supplied to multiple modules. Passive testing may be performed by monitoring parameters of the module while the test signal is supplied to the module. Active testing may be a functional test of the module in which the test signal is supplied to, processed by, and output from the module. Such test signals output from the modules are switched to the test equipment on a time-share basis. In this way, the number or expensive test equipment set-ups may reduced. The controller for each virtual oven also generates displays so that a user can track the test progress of all modules within the virtual oven. The controller also builds a database of the active and passive tests for each module. A graphical user interface may be used to interact with the virtual oven, control the testing, and view the database.

A device for marking the location of a hanger for an item to be hung. An elongated element is provided for receiving an item to be hung. The element has a plunger received thereon with a marker associated with the plunger. Depression of the plunger moves the marker from a non-marking position to a marking position which is opposite the point of support of the item whereby with the item located on the elongated element and held adjacent the wall where the item is to be hung, depression of the plunger will move the marker into contact with the wall to mark the point where a hanger should be installed to later support the item at the same location on the wall where it was held.

A scented fishing lure having a rigid absorbent body portion constructed from fibrous material. The body portion is constructed with resin-impregnated fiberous material. Because the entire body portion is of an absorbent nature, the body portion can absorb and be thoroughly saturated with a fish attractant oil. The fish attractant oil is released into the water at a constant, prolonged rate during use of the present scented fishing lure to provide a fish attracting odor for facilitating the catching of fish.

A scented hunting device having a scented material member attached to a flexible, impervious body member. The scented material member is preferably constructed with an absorbent fibrous or felt material and can absorb and be thoroughly infiltrated with a scented substance for masking human odors from animal detection. Co-operating fasteners are attached to the flexible body member for allowing the scented hunting device to be attached to a hunter during hunting.

An underwater viewing device that may be held in the water from a moving boat for viewing below the surface of the water. The device includes a transparent bottom with side walls secured thereto and extending upwardly therefrom, the side walls forming a water barrier totally around the bottom. One end of the bottom and corresponding side walls define a bow shape. An outwardly turned flange is located at the top of the side walls to permit one to conveniently hold the device in the water while the boat is moving, or to which a boat mounted support may be secured.

A method and apparatus for evaluating the condition of the heart muscle utilizing a single roughly collimated radiation detector which is non-critically positioned over the heart muscle. A small amount of radioactive material is injected into the bloodstream and detected during the first transit through the heart. The background radiation level is empirically derived from, and may be utilized to correct, the aforementioned first transit data. Numerous parameters affecting the heart muscle may be determined by analysis of the resultant data.
