Abstract: A solar powered illumination apparatus includes an upper housing having an upper optic lens configured to receive high angle solar light energy into an upper housing interior area and having a prismatic lens configured to refract low angle solar energy into the upper housing interior area. A lower housing is attached to the upper housing defining a lower housing interior area in communication with the upper housing interior area. A photovoltaic member is situated adjacent a lower end of the prismatic lens, the photovoltaic member configured to receive the light energy from the upper housing interior area. A battery is electrically connected to the photovoltaic member. Circuitry is situated intermediate the photovoltaic member and the battery for converting the solar energy to electrical energy. A plurality of lights is electrically connected to the battery configured to emit light when energized. The lights are energized only in dim light or darkness.

Abstract: An electronic data input apparatus comprises a receptacle, a tube, a housing for electronic components, and a harness. The receptacle is operable for use in a user's mouth. The tube connects the receptacle to the housing, which is attached to the harness. A user wears the harness on the upper part of the torso, such that the receptacle is accessible to the mouth. A cable connects the electronic component housing to a computing element and establishes serial communication from the input apparatus to the computing element. The apparatus may provide the same function as a conventional mouse pointing device by allowing the user to control the motion of a pointer on an electronic display by breathing in to and out of the receptacle.
