摘要： An improved solar powered LED-based lighting fixture providing substantial increases in the apparent light output compared to prior art solar powered LED-based lighting fixtures. This improvement in preferred embodiments results from the addition of inexpensive spherical lenses that create a large number of images of LED light sources, each image having substantially reduced brightness as compared to the real LED light source. These images with substantially reduced brightness result in beautiful patterns, that still appear very bright to a night time observer, because the LED source itself is in fact too bright to look at directly. In a preferred embodiment ten plastic 0.5-inch spherical lenses are positioned along the bottom edge of the cone at the bottom of lamp. Each of these spherical lenses creates multiple images of the single source LED, all nearly as bright as the source itself. As a result the perceived delivery of light intensity to an observer is multiplied by a factor of approximately 10 times. In other preferred embodiments, conventional primary cell alkaline batteries are used in place of rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium batteries, whereby the battery cost is cut in half and the energy storage capacity tripled. Applicant has discovered that the conventional primary cell alkaline batteries are safely and effectively recharged by the solar cell.

摘要翻译： 与现有技术的太阳能发电的基于LED的照明灯具相比，改进的基于太阳能的基于LED的照明灯具提供了表观光输出的显着增加。 优选实施例的这种改进是由于添加了产生大量LED光源的图像的便宜的球面透镜，与真实的LED光源相比，每个图像具有明显降低的亮度。 这些具有显着降低的亮度的图像导致美丽的图案，对于夜间观察者来说，仍然显得非常明亮，因为LED源本身实际上太亮直接看不到。 在一个优选实施例中，十个塑料0.5英寸球形透镜沿着灯底部的锥体的底部边缘定位。 这些球形透镜中的每一个都产生单个源LED的多个图像，全部与源本身一样明亮。 结果，将观察到的光强度的传递乘以约10倍的因子。 在其他优选实施例中，使用常规的初级电池碱性电池来代替可再充电的镍镉电池，由此将电池成本削减一半，并且储能能力增加三倍。 申请人已经发现，传统的初级电池碱性电池被太阳能电池安全且有效地充电。

摘要： Jewelry, such as finger rings and earrings, which flash in synchronism with the wearer's heartbeat. A pulsed IR signal is directed into the wearer's tissue and a reflected or transmitted signal is monitored to determine when the wearer's heart beats at which time one or more light emitting sources in the jewelry flashes. The monitored signal is utilized to determine the wearer's heart rate. At least two light emitting sources are provided one of which flashes with each heart beat and the other flashes when the heart rate reaches or exceeds a predetermined range or increases faster than a predetermined rate. Preferred embodiments include three visible LED's (red, green and blue) and a micro-processor which calculates pulse rate and causes the red LED to blink on each pulse, the green LED to blink on each pulse when the wearer's pulse rate is greater a first threshold and the blue LED to blink on each pulse when the wearer's pulse rate is greater than a second threshold corresponding to extreme excitement. These threshold values may correspond to increased heart rates of typical persons engaged in exercise and love-making. The monitor may also be self calibrating to adjust the thresholds based on measurements of the wearer's heart rate over extended periods which would include periods of rest as well as periods of exertion or excitement. Other preferred embodiments vary the brightness of the LED's depending on the estimated blood pressure that also increases by about the same degree as pulse rate.
