Abstract: A multi-function marine emergency communication device for marine signaling and survival including a handheld waterproof housing for holding a plurality of tools; a power source mounted in the housing; and an electronic circuit board mounted in the housing and connected to the power source. A plurality of switches are also mounted in the housing and are connected between the electronic circuit board and the power source. The housing also includes a waterproof spotlight mounted in the housing and a built-in waterproof strobe mounted in the housing, both connected to the electronic circuit board. The housing further includes an acoustical signal generator mounted in the housing and connected to the electronic circuit board; and a telescopic pole and flag retractable into the housing and extendable therefrom; a low battery indicator; a light reflecting surface; and a retractable cutting tool.

Abstract: The present invention provides a counterfeit detector viewer having a detection opening for receiving documents such as paper currency to be inspected. The device uses a UV light fixture mounted in the housing for projecting UV light rays toward the detection opening and the paper currency to be inspected. The device also includes a magnifying viewing glass for viewing the documents to be inspected. A slide out tray in the housing guides the currency to the UV lamp and is removable for replacing the UV lamp. The device further includes a reflector mounted within the UV light fixture to reflect the UV light rays toward the detection opening and the currency. The reflector is made of silverized plastic, polished metal, a reflective metallic finish or a pointed reflective finish. The UV lamp may be powered by batteries or an electrical cord and plug for receiving electrical current. The counterfeit detection viewer apparatus is made of plastic or lightweight metal.
