Admittedly I am not a gadget freak, so I have never heard of one of these.
(this is not for me, it's for one of my executives)

Essentially, Anyone ever hear of a wireless USB to USB hub/adapter. (Not for a NIC).

Let's say I have a pc 100 feet away, And I have a USB device on the other end. Is there a wireless USB adapter for that device, allowing it to transmit back to the PC or Hub->PC.

I can see how there might be some complications with that setup. But you never know.

That is allowing an already wireless device access the pc.

I've been asked to do the reverse.

Turn a non-wireless USB device into wireless.

Some solutions I thought about but can not find:
A dongle like usb adapter that runs on the usb devices power, that feeds out a signal to the pc or wireless hub.

Let's say I have a USB telescope that I want to put outside. Normally I would have to plug it into my PC to get the pictures downloaded.

But I want to be able to have the PC inside the house, 100' away. The telescope by nature is not wireless, and has the stanard usb type interface that connects it to the pc.
