Gulf Oil Spill Heat Patches
In this Aug. 9, 2010, photo, IonX International CEO Paige Shumate Short, right, and former Gov. Martha Layne Collins talk about their new product called a "hot dot", a small patch that detects one's body temperature, during an interview in Lexington, Ky. Workers scrubbing oil from Gulf Coast beaches have tried the round patches that quickly change colors as body temperatures heat up. The Kentucky maker of the patches says the invention aims to give a person an indication of core body temperature and instant feedback when one is in danger of overheating. (AP Photo/Ed Reinke)
