Abstract: Apparatus for housing electronic components comprising a heated enclosure comprising a bottom, a top, three sides, a substantially open front and a heating element for transmitting heat to enclosure surfaces. Perforations are located in the heated enclosure to facilitate the passage of air from one side of the heated enclosure to the other. A plenum is connected to the perforations, the plenum being configured to transmit air between the outside and inside of the heated enclosure. Completing the apparatus as control electronics comprising a power source and temperature monitoring and feedback circuitry, and insulation covering a heated portion of the heated enclosure.

Abstract: A stand for supporting a melon or the like in a field, and including a lower ring, an upper ring, a plurality of ribs between the upper and lower rings positioning the upper ring above the lower ring, and a support carried on the upper ring for supporting a product on the stand. The support includes a concave platform attached to the upper ring, with the rings, ribs and support formed as a single unit. Preferably the support includes a plurality of radial arms having inner and outer ends and joined together at the inner ends and joined to the upper ring at the outer ends, with a cruciform member fixed to the underside of selected ones of the arms, and a second upper ring positioned concentrically within the one upper ring and affixed to the radial arms.

Abstract: Footwear having improved shock absorption in a shoe having a heel and box portion, a first flat elastomeric bladder supported by the shoe heel portion to bear the weight of the heel of the foot of a user, an elastomeric bladder portion supported by the shoe box portion to bear the weight of the ball portion of the foot of a user, a conduit connecting the first and second bladders, and a valve in the conduit permitting a selectable rate of flow of fluid between the bladders.
