Earring

Abstract

An earring configured for insertion in an artificially-created cavity in a wearer's ear, such ear tissue cavity being bounded by a first hole in the ear tissue and a second hole opposite the first hole. The earring includes an earring post dimensioned to be inserted through at least the first hole of the ear tissue cavity. A first insulating component is associated with the earring post and is configured to at least partially enclose the first hole of the ear tissue cavity. A second insulating component is associated with the earring post and is configured to at least partially enclose the second hole, whereby, the first and second insulating components serve to improve maintenance of the temperature inside the ear tissue cavity by assisting in controlling heat loss from such cavity.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An earring configured for being inserted into and worn in an artificially-created ear tissue cavity in a wearer's ear tissue bounded by a first hole in the wearer's ear tissue and a second hole in the wearer's ear tissue opposite the first hole, the earring comprising:
 an earring post connected to the earring structure and dimensioned to be inserted through at least the first hole of the ear tissue and into the ear tissue cavity;   a first insulating component associated with the earring post and configured to partially or completely enclose the first hole of the ear tissue cavity; and   a second insulating component associated with the earring post and configured to partially or completely enclose the second hole of the ear tissue cavity,   whereby, the first insulating component and the second insulating component serve to maintain the temperature inside the ear tissue cavity by facilitating the reduction of heat loss from the ear tissue cavity.   
     
     
         2 . The earring of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first insulating component and the second insulating component is made out of a thermal insulating material. 
     
     
         3 . The earring of  claim 2 , wherein the thermal insulating material is selected from a group consisting of polyester blended with nylon, polyester blended with spandex, and polyester blended with elastin. 
     
     
         4 . The earring of  claim 1 , further comprising an electronic temperature sensor adjacent at least one of the first insulating component and the second insulating component. 
     
     
         5 . The earring of  claim 1 , further comprising a closure adjacent at least one of the first insulating component and the second insulating component. 
     
     
         6 . The earring of  claim 1 , further comprising an earring structure connected to the earring post. 
     
     
         7 . The earring of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a closure adjacent the first insulating component; and   an electronic temperature sensor adjacent the second insulating component.   
     
     
         8 . An earring configured for being inserted into and worn in an artificially-created ear tissue cavity in a wearer's ear tissue bounded by a first hole in the wearer's ear tissue and a second hole in the wearer's ear tissue opposite the first hole, the earring comprising:
 an electronic temperature sensor;   the electronic temperature sensor being configured, upon the earring being inserted into the ear tissue cavity, to measure a first temperature measurement within the ear tissue cavity and at least one second temperature measurement of another part of the wearer's body and to create a third temperature measurement using the first temperature measurement and the at least one second temperature measurement; and   an electronic transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit a fourth temperature measurement established using at least one of the first temperature measurement, the second temperature measurement, and the third temperature measurement.   
     
     
         9 . The earring of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 an earring post including the electronic temperature sensor; and   the earring post being dimensioned to be inserted through at least the first hole of the ear tissue and into the ear tissue cavity.   
     
     
         10 . The earring of  claim 8 , further comprising at least one insulating component configured to partially or completely enclose at least one of the first hole and the second hole of the ear tissue cavity. 
     
     
         11 . The earring of  claim 8 , further comprising at least one battery that powers the electronic temperature sensor and the electronic transmitter. 
     
     
         12 . The earring of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 at least one power supply that powers the electronic temperature sensor and the electronic transmitter; and   wherein, the power supply harvests energy from radio waves, Wi-Fi signals, or other signals.   
     
     
         13 . The earring of  claim 8 , wherein the temperature of at least one of the first temperature measurement and the second temperature measurement occurs intermittently, periodically using specified time intervals, or substantially continuously. 
     
     
         14 . A device configured for being inserted into and worn in an artificially-created ear tissue cavity in a wearer's body tissue bounded by a first hole in the wearer's body tissue and a second hole in the wearer's body tissue opposite the first hole, the device comprising:
 an electronic temperature sensor;   the electronic temperature sensor being configured, upon the device being inserted into the body tissue cavity, to measure a first temperature measurement within the body tissue cavity and at least one second temperature measurement of another part of the wearer's body and to create a third temperature measurement using the first temperature measurement and the at least one second temperature measurement; and   an electronic transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit a fourth temperature measurement established using at least one of the first temperature measurement, the second temperature measurement, and the third temperature measurement.   
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 a post including the electronic temperature sensor; and   the post being dimensioned to be inserted through at least the first hole of the body tissue and into the body tissue cavity.   
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 14 , further comprising at least one insulating component configured to partially or completely enclose at least one of the first hole and the second hole of the body tissue cavity. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 14 , wherein the device further comprises a closure. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 14 , further comprising at least one battery that powers the electronic temperature sensor and the electronic transmitter. 
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 at least one power supply that powers the electronic temperature sensor and the electronic transmitter; and   wherein, the power supply harvests energy from radio waves, Wi-Fi signals, or other signals.   
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 14 , wherein the temperature of at least one of the first temperature measurement and the second temperature measurement occurs intermittently, periodically using specified time intervals, or substantially continuously.
