Abstract: The invention relates to the field of wearable and portable computers. Specifically, the invention is a flat panel display device which is designed with certain ergonomic features which allow the user to operate the display device comfortably for longer periods of time than with previous prior art hand held displays.

Abstract: In this invention a computer system having a core unit and an enclosure for the core unit is disclosed. The core unit has the ability to determine the nature of the enclosure (be it a car, house, etc.) and to adjust its processor to perform the function required by the enclosure.

Abstract: This is a body-supported computer that has safeguards against the heated computer housing injuring the user. A grille that is heat insulating is used on at least one outer surface of the housing. This grille, together with heat dissipating housing materials, keeps the temperature of the body-supported computer and its housing within tolerable limits.

Abstract: This invention uses a portable computer housing with a battery holder connected directly onto this battery housing. This arrangement does away with the need for cumbersome connecting cables or wires and places the battery at a location where it could be easily changed or removed. The housing and holder have mating electrical connectors so that they can be in electrical connection without need for wires, cables or other clumsy connectors.

Abstract: This invention involves an apparatus for on-site testing and inspecting of metal structures and their deterioration. The NDT and hands free computer are both worn by the inspector to give him or her immediate results of the test.

Abstract: This is a body-worn, hands-free activated computer that is constructed of materials that conduct heat and is heat insulating. The portion of the computer that is heat insulating is located closest to a wearer's body, the portion that is heat conducting is located farthest from the user's body. Heat is a major problem in wearable computers and this invention provides efficient ways for coping with heat generated by the CPU inside the computer housing. In addition to materials used in constructing the housing for this computer, a heat sink and heat-insulating logs are used to further deflect and direct heat away from a user.

Abstract: A body supported computer is disclosed which has an audio related transducer and converter system used to power down the computer and to control the power output by audio commands. Various displays to be used with this computer are disclosed.

Abstract: This invention provides a core computer unit that contains all of the components of a conventional computer however will not function unless it is positioned in an enclosure. The enclosure dictates the computer function, the core unit supplies the computer components. The core unit remains dormant and non-functional until it is positioned in a compatible enclosure.
