  • Patent number: 7905591
    Abstract: The overall apparatus assembly provides folding reading glasses, survival series wherein the glasses fold into a jewelry shape hung from a necklace. The overall apparatus assembly further provides a hinged nose portion that allows the eyeglass lenses to fold inward in a quick snap action about the hinged nose. The temples also fold inward and serve as the encase thus protecting the lenses rotating about a second quick action hinge. The spring loaded hinges will provide for cam action to lock the glasses in either an open or closed position. The closed position will further protect the eyeglass lenses and provide a decorative jewelry shaped integral encasement to store the eyeglass apparatus and protect the lenses.

  • Patent number: 7236359
    Abstract: An environmental control unit for a personal computer tower case includes an enclosure configured to substantially enclose the tower case and an air conditioning unit configured to draw air from a first region of the enclosure, cool the air to within a selected range of temperatures, and output the air into a second region of the enclosure. The enclosure includes a gasket disposed between an outer wall of the tower case and an inner surface of the enclosure, for preventing circulation of air within the enclosure and around an exterior of the case. The enclosure may also include a port for access to a front side of the personal computer case, and an aperture in a back wall of the enclosure for passage of cables. The aperture is configured to permit passage of the cables while limiting passage of air.
