Abstract: A wireless ad hoc network may be formed by eyewear having a radio frequency transceiver with other devices having compatible radio frequency transceivers. The transceivers may operate in an unlicensed radio frequency band at 2.45 GHz. The eyewear may include at least one detachable temple, and the radio frequency transceiver of the eyewear may be embedded in the at least one detachable temple. Other devices may also be embedded in the at least one detachable temple. The at least one detachable temple may be electrically connected to a frame of the eyewear when in an open position.

Abstract: A wireless ad hoc pico network is formed by eyewear having a radio frequency transceiver and other devices such as a computer, a bracelet and a telephone having similar transceivers mounted on them. Master slave relationships are configurable. Other devices, such as a radio, a CD player, a hand held global positioning satellite system and a heart rate monitor, having similar transceivers, can also be connected with the transceiver of the eyewear. The transceivers operate on a globally available, unlicensed radio band of 2.45 gigahertz (GHz).

Abstract: A concentrator for solar radiation and which comprises a housing having an aperture arranged to admit incident solar radiation and linearly extending receivers located within the housing. A plurality of linearly extending line focusing, tensile-loaded reflector elements is associated with each receiver and arranged to reflect toward the receiver incident solar radiation that enters the housing, and a drive mechanism is located within the housing and arranged to impart sun tracking pivotal drive to the reflector elements. A housing configuration is disclosed that, with aperture-defining windows, provides for maximal admission of solar radiation.

Abstract: An eyewear having a frame, at least one temple attached to the frame, and a radio frequency transceiver for short-distance wireless communication. The radio frequency transceiver is mounted on either the frame or the temple and is configured to form an ad hoc wireless network with a plurality of devices. The radio frequency transceiver communicates with these devices within a frequency band of 2.45 gigahertz (GHz).

Abstract: A combination compact disk player and jewelry box is disclosed having a housing, a compact disk (CD) player internally mounted in the housing with built-in compact disk storage. Mechanism for playing the CDs is provided and at least one slide out drawer is provided for holding jewelry and other trinkets therein.

Other devices, such as a radio, a CD player, a hand held global positioning satellite system and a heart rate monitor, having similar transceivers, can also be connected with the transceiver of the eyewear. The transceivers operate on globally available, unlicensed radio band, 2.45 gigahertz (GHz) and conforms to the Bluetooth standard. The power consumption of Bluetooth enabled devices is less than three percent of the power consumption of a mobile phone. The eyewear includes a frame and connected to the frame are two temples. Temples are connected to frame via hinges. Temples have a male portion of a connector incorporated in them. Female portion of the connector is made integral with the hinges. When the male portion is inserted in the female portion the temple is attached to the frame.

The temples can be removed by pulling the connector apart, and a temple with different apparatus within it can be inserted in place of the removed temples. The temple may have co-molded within its body, an apparatus such as an audio device, a camera, a speaker, and a microphone, and a display device such as liquid crystal or an alarm.
