A hazard detection and suppression apparatus and a single-action discharge valve for discharging a vessel's contents. The valve has a valve body with a passage therethrough through which the contents are discharged, a frangible seal held within the valve body and sealing the passage while the seal is intact, and a solenoid including an armature moveable from a first to a second position. A thermopile or a thermopile matrix senses near-infrared energy to detect a fire hazard and actuate the valve. Amplifiers for the thermopile's signal are monitored for failure. A thermostat or a manual pushbutton can also actuate the valve, and an operator's panel monitors failure conditions. Other hazard detectors may be used including a petroleum detector, a chemical sensor, a moisture detector, a radiation detector, a gas detector, and a moving body detector.

Hazard detection and suppression apparatus

Eyewear with earpieces supported from a wearer's ear with optional audio apparatus for use by the wearer, having a front frame browpiece portion including a front transparent panel that may be tinted and/or may be designed to correct vision impairments, being supported on a wearer's head by a nose bridge and by at least one earpiece or earplug that is received into the concha of the wearer's ear and/or into the ear canal. The earpiece or earplug is attached to a rear end of its respective temple of the eyewear and the respective temple for the earpiece or earplug is not supported over the wearer's ear. Preferably both temples are only supported by their respective rear earpiece or earplug. The earpieces of some embodiments sealingly and protectively plug the ear canal of the wearer. The eyewear may include an optional microphone, whether as a boom-mounted microphone or an ear microphone, and may include audio earpieces for reproducing sound from an audio signal source. Various earpiece attachments are provided for attaching the earpieces and earplugs to the temples of the eyewear. The temples may have length adjustments and may have spread adjustments to adjust for various-sized wearers' heads. The temples preferably exert an inward pressure on the earpieces and earplugs so as to retain the eyewear on the wearer's head during physical activity. An overglasses embodiment is provided that can be worn over standard eyeglasses.

Eyewear supported by a wearer's concha of an ear

Eyewear

An acoustical control earpiece comprised of non-foamed polyvinyl chloride plastisol. The earpieces may be acoustical hearing protective earplugs as well as overmolds and covers for audio sound reproduction devices such as headphones, speakers, and hearing aids, and may be used alone or in conjunction with hearing protector bands or eyewear. The earplugs may have an open or closed internal void therewithin, are adapted for receipt into the concha and ear canal of a wearer. The earpieces may be formed by injection molding, roto-molding, or slush molding. The hardness of the earpieces has a 00 Durometer hardness value of about 10 to 90 and preferably ranging 40 to 60.

Acoustical control plastisol earpieces

An eyesight and hearing safety apparatus for use by a human being. The apparatus comprises a front guard portion including a front transparent panel for protecting the eyesight of the human being. The apparatus further comprises a first and a second earplug for protecting the hearing of the human being. The apparatus further comprises a first temple having a first attachment end and a first support end. The first attachment end is hingedly attached to one end of the front guard portion. The first earplug is attached to the first temple adjacent the first support end. The first temple and the first earplug support the front guard portion from a respective auditory canal when the human being is wearing the apparatus. The apparatus further comprises a second temple having a second attachment end and a second support end. The second attachment end is hingedly attached to one end of the front guard portion. The second earplug is attached to the second temple adjacent the second support end. The second temple and the second earplug support the front guard portion from a respective auditory canal when the human being is wearing the apparatus. The first and second temples may be adjustable to horizontally and vertically position the respective earplug for comfortable insertion into the respective auditory canal of the human being.
