    Abstract: The invention presents methods and devices for controlling and modifying the core body temperature of a human or other mammal. The apparatus contains an element to be placed in contact with an individual's skin, such as the palm of a hand or sole of a foot; the element emits radiation, preferably within the red to infrared range of 550 nm to 950 nm, inducing vasodilation and increased blood flow in the region beneath the contacting area. A heat exchange element is concurrently in contact with the skin, capable of transferring heat into or removing heat from the circulatory vasculature, through the skin surface. The circulatory system carries the increase or decrease in thermal energy to the body's core organs. As such the method and devices are capable of increasing or decreasing the core body temperature, or maintaining current core body temperature in the presence of external thermal elements.

    Abstract: A cooling system for a marine vessel is configured to allow all cooling water to flow out of the cooling circuit naturally and under the influence of gravity when the marine vessel is removed from the body of water. All conduits of the cooling circuit are sloped downwardly and rearwardly from within the marine vessel to an opening through its transom. Traps are avoided so that residual water is not retained within locations of the cooling system after the natural draining process is complete. The opening through the transom of the marine vessel is at or below all conduits of the cooling system in order to facilitate the natural draining of the cooling system under the influence of gravity and without the need for operator intervention.

    Abstract translation: 用于海洋船舶的冷却系统被配置为当海洋船只从水体中移出时,允许所有冷却水自然地并且在重力的影响下从冷却回路流出。 冷却回路的所有管道都从海洋船只向下和向后倾斜,穿过其横梁的开口。 避免陷阱,以便在自然排水过程完成后残留的水不会保留在冷却系统的位置。 通过船舶的横梁的开口处于或低于冷却系统的所有导管,以便于在重力的影响下冷却系统的自然排放,并且不需要操作者干预。
