Abstract: A corrective wraparound lens is provided for a wearer where the wraparound lens has a non-corrective lens element and a corrective lens element where the curvature of the non-corrective lens element is different from the curvature of the corrective lens element. Such lens has the ability to correct the defect in eyesight while capable of contouring to the face of the wearer thus able to protect the face of the wearer. In addition, a method to correct defect in eye is provided using a corrective wraparound lens for a wearer comprising a non-corrective lens element and a corrective lens element wherein a first curvature of said non-corrective lens element is different than a second curvature of said corrective lens element.

Abstract: An universal plug adapter with multiple retractable pin plugs, comprising: a main body, at least a set of pin plug, an orientation guide rod allowing sliding of pin plug and a slide block restricting the shift of pin plug; the pin plug comprises of at least a pair of pins of international standard size, of which a single pin plug can be pushed every time; a sliding groove is set laterally onto the slide block; the groove is deep upwards and shallow downwards; the pin plug is provided with a bulge; when the pin plug is pushed, the bulge moves along the groove of the slide block groove; given the different depth of the groove, the bulge pushes the slide block to shift, such that the bulges on other pin plug cannot be aligned with the center of the groove, so other pin plugs not yet pushed are restricted in original position.

Abstract: A regulating circuit for automobile light for outputting an elevated voltage to power an operation of a driving integrated circuit, comprises a first diode having its anode interconnected to an input of the power supply (forward biased) and interconnected to the first diode in serial (reverse biased) and then interconnected to a driving integrated circuit. The first diode is used to detect a maximum voltage input, and the second diode is used to restore its energy to the capacitor so as to keep the voltage output maintained in an elevated level. As a result, the regulating circuit can be used with all kinds of driving integrated circuit incorporated in the automobile headlight.

Abstract: An adjusting apparatus for an automobile headlight or similarly situated work piece comprising a housing with a first opening and a second opening, a thread-less drive shaft extending through said top opening and having one end having a drive shaft connector connected via a first stop bolt to a first end of a pivot arm and the second end of said drive shaft for connection with said automobile headlight, a threaded input shaft extending through said second opening engaging an input shaft mounting bracket with a threaded portion of said threaded input shaft wherein said input shaft mounting bracket is further connected via a second stop bolt to a second end of said pivot arm, wherein said pivot arm is secured to said housing via a central pivot bolt, wherein a rotational adjustment of said input shaft will alter the position of said input shaft mounting bracket thereby altering the position of said second end of said pivot arm thereby altering the position of said first end of said pivot arm thereby causing sai

Abstract: A surgical navigation system has a computer with a memory and display connected to a surgical instrument or pointer and position tracking system, so that the location and orientation of the pointer are tracked in real time and conveyed to the computer. The computer memory is loaded with data from an MRI, CT, or other volumetric scan of a patient, and this data is utilized to dynamically display 3-dimensional perspective images in real time of the patient's anatomy from the viewpoint of the pointer. The images are segmented and displayed in color to highlight selected anatomical features and to allow the viewer to see beyond obscuring surfaces and structures. The displayed image tracks the movement of the instrument during surgical procedures. The instrument may include an imaging device such as an endoscope or ultrasound transducer, and the system displays also the image for this device from the same viewpoint, and enables the two images to be fused so that a combined image is displayed.

Abstract: Method of making eyeglass lens are disclosed where the lens are made of layers which include an outer, convex hard coating, a layer of hard epoxy, a laminated PVA film where one of the layer of the PVA film is dipped in high contrast dye, a layer of soft epoxy, a base material, and an inner, concave hard coating. Other methods configuration of lens also include a camouflaged patterned lens, a layer of hard epoxy, a polyurethane mixture, a laminated PVA film where one of the layer of the PVA film is dipped with high contrast dye, a layer of soft epoxy, a base material, and an inner, concave hard coating.

Other methods configuration of lens also include a camouflaged patterned lens, a layer of hard epoxy, a polyurethane mixture, a laminated PVA film where one of the layer of the PVA film is coated in the peripheral portion, a layer of soft epoxy, a base material, and an inner, concave hard coating.

Abstract: Devices and methods for collecting solar energy using photovoltaic material are disclosed.

Abstract: A network line plug and network line, and more particularly to a network line plug, network line plug assembly and network line; the network line plug of the present invention comprises of a short-head main body, rubber core and eight welded terminals; the rubber core is fixed into the short-head main body; said welded terminals are inserted into the rubber core; the first and second ends of said welded terminal are an electrical contact portion and welding portion, respectively; the welding portions of the welded terminal penetrate selectively the through-holes of the rubber core; the welding portions of two welded terminals corresponding to the same core pair are arranged adjacent to one another.

Abstract: Eyewear, and more particularly floating eyewear such as eyeglasses and/or sunglasses may include a frame, temples, and lenses wherein the frame and/or temples may be formed form the combination of a blowing agent and a polymer so as to render the eyewear floating. A method for making floating eyewear is also contemplated wherein a heat-activated blowing agent is dry-blended with a plastic resin to form a mixture which is loaded into a hopper coupled to a cylinder, after which the mixture is heated to a molten form, injected into a mold, cooled, and then later ejected from the mold.
