Abstract: A portable housing includes a sensing device, a set of memory modules, and a reconfigurable circuit module. The reconfigurable circuit module can be configured to receive sensed data associated with a sensing device. In response to receiving the sensed data, the reconfigurable circuit module can be configured to transition from a first configuration to a second configuration. While in the second configuration, the reconfigurable circuit module can be configured to retrieve data from at least one memory module from the set of memory modules. The reconfigurable circuit module can be configured to compare the retrieved data to the sensed data, and as a result, produce matched data. The reconfigurable circuit module can be configured to define and/or send a search result based on the matched data.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a set of memory modules configured to store data and a reprogrammable circuit module operatively coupled to the set of memory modules. The reprogrammable circuit module is configured to receive, from a host device, information associated with a search request. The reprogrammable circuit module is configured to change from a first configuration to a second configuration in response to receiving the information. The reprogrammable circuit module is configured to retrieve at least a portion of the data stored at the set of memory modules associated with the second configuration. The reprogrammable circuit module is configured to generate a search result based on the portion of the data, and transmit the search result to the host device.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a set of memory modules, a reprogrammable circuit module and a set of data channels. Each memory module is associated with an address translation table configured to store a set of address pairs each including a physical memory address and a logical memory address. The reprogrammable circuit module is configured to retrieve a first physical memory address associated with a first logical memory address and a second physical memory address associated with a second logical memory address. Each data channel couples the reprogrammable circuit module to at least one memory module. The reprogrammable circuit module is configured to send a first and a second query to the first and the second memory module, via a first data channel based on the first physical memory address or a second data channel based on the second physical memory address, respectively.

Abstract: Eyeglasses are provided that can function both as make-up glasses and reading glasses. The invention provides an eyeglass frame having a left and right lens support. A nose bridge separates the lens supports. A first lens seats in the left lens support. A second lens seats in the right lens support. Each lens is attached to the lens frame for movement from the left side to the right side of the frame and vise versa to mate with the lens on the opposite side. A first lens and a second lens seat in the left and right lens support. In this position, the eyeglasses function as reading glasses. Since the lenses are movably mounted to the frame, the first lens located on the left side can be moved to sit on top of the second lens on the right side. As a result, there will be no lens on the left side and the eyeglasses can function as make-up glasses. Similarly the second lens located on the right side can be moved to the left side to sit on top of the first lens on the left side.
