Eyewear of the present invention includes a frame of substantially rigid material, at least one lens and a substantially rigid lens retaining member permanently engaging at least one lens. The construct is prepared by application of an electrochemical field and a pH gradient to solutions containing collagen. The load on the motor comes from the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the compressor, which is driven by the motor. The first and second embodiments are implemented with a transmit Ethernet interface, an MPEG or JPEG or H264 compressed or uncompressed digital video capture device, and a modem including a modulator and demodulator that provides communication with several other modem devices along communication media such as power lines, wireless, cable, or twisted pairs.
