The present invention is a convenient, aesthetically pleasing, multi-purpose container/beverage infuser that allows a user to store and brew beverages such as tea. The device includes a base container for storing the loose tea leaves prior to brewing. A lid is provided to seal the container so that the tea leaves may be preserved during storage. An infuser is removably attached to the base container. The infuser is shaped so that that it may be inverted over a drinking container and receive a predetermined amount of fresh tea leaves to be steeped. Clips are coupled to the infuser so that the infuser may be retained in the inverted position over the drinking container during the brewing process. A cap is placed on top of the infuser when assembled and may be invertedly placed on a stable surface to hold the infuser after use to prevent excess dripping.

A digital diagnostic system employs signature analysis for locating faults at the system, module, or circuit component level in electronic equipment. Predetermined correct signatures and diagnostic decision tree information for a particular device under test are stored in system memory. The diagnostic system exercises the device under test to generate signatures which are obtained at various predetermined test points and electronically compared with a stored signature. From the diagnostic decision tree information, a troubleshooting sequence is automatically established which leads directly to a faulty module or component. In-circuit microprocessor emulation may be utilized to generate one or more of the signature signals.
