Filed:

Jul 20, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/880242

Inventors:

Daniel Ayers Gilbert - Arden NC, US

International Classification:

G02C 3/00

US Classification:

351157, 351 63, 351121, 351153, 16228

Abstract:

Eyeglasses that can be hung around the wearer's neck, without the necessity of a chain or cord, can be rotated between a normal viewing position, a conventional storage position and a hanging position. In the hanging positions, the rear ends of temple arms are spaced apart by a distance less than the diameter of a normal wearer's neck. In embodiment in which a hinge between the lens frame and the temple arms can be pivoted about three orthogonal axes, the lens frame will lie flat against the wearer's chest or neck. Two hinge configurations that allow the lens frame to lie flat include a ball and socket joint and a multiple hinge joint. The temple arms can also be extended so that the eyeglasses will more comfortably fit around the wearer's neck in the hanging position.

Daniel Ayers Gilbert - Arden NC, US

International Classification:

G06Q 50/28

US Classification:

705 271

Abstract:

A package pick up and delivery system allows distribution of packages between any two locations serviced by a carrier or delivery system. At each location, merchandise, different from the packages handled by this system, would be available to the public. Such locations can include big box stores, drug stores, restaurants and similar retail or commercial establishments. A website is available to the shipper to identify pick up and delivery locations and to record payment for the shipment. Information for notifying the recipient can be input to the website and a notice sent to the recipient, who can subsequently access the website to determine the status of the shipment. This system allows the operator of a freight distribution or carrier system to increase the utilization of the carrier system. Patronage of retail establishments, operating as pick up and drop off locations can also be increased.

Appl. No.:

International Classification:

Abstract:

The present invention offers a system for guiding drivers of vehicles going in the same direction to avoid encroaching each other's braking space. Encroachment may occur when a proximate vehicle merges too closely to a host vehicle or when the speed of a host vehicle and/or a proximate vehicle changes such that there is insufficient distance between the two vehicles, creating a hazard zone. The indicator system shall be mounted on a host vehicle and incorporate a gauge for determining the host vehicle's speed, one or more sensors to detect the relative proximity and speed of a proximate vehicle, a visual proximity indicator, and a controller for determining whether the proximate vehicle is too close to the host vehicle and operating the visual proximity indicator to signal the proximate vehicle it is within the hazard zone.
