Abstract: A sealed thermal cycle heat transferring device having areas of gross surface modification enabling efficiency enhancement through increased working fluid capacity and reduced conduction resistance while still retaining the net surface footprint. Certain embodiments of the present invention facilitate surface enhancement affecting condensing portions as well as evaporating portions. Thermal transfer performance remains adjustable well beyond conventional heat pipe apparatus by allowance of careful selection of surface enhancing parameters including diameter, depth, shape, amount, area and location of surface enhancement. Additional advantages may include the enhancement of mounting, attachment and enablement of thermally generating, dissipating or regulating components, devices, assemblies and any uses where the present invention may benefit thermal addition, subtraction, regulation and transfer.

Abstract: An illuminated safety/work glasses device (202) utilizing light emitting diodes embedded into a one-piece flexible array (101) mounted to the left and right side of the lens (102). The light emitting diodes are positioned to the left and right, and above and below the wearer's eyes and may be powered through use of rechargeable powered earpieces (103 and 111) or remote battery pack (207).
