Abstract: A system is described that improves highway safety by preventing drivers from viewing a display or entering data while the vehicle is in motion. The system monitors the state of the vehicle and enables or disables the different system components that may include microphones, speakers, display screens and input devices such as keyboards, a mouse or a touchscreen. The system allows the vehicle to communicate with cell phones, Internet providers, Bluetooth enabled devices, and other vehicles. The system allows the driver to request information or data when the vehicle is stopped that can be downloaded and stored for later viewing when the vehicle is moving.

Abstract: A device for separating subcutaneous tissue and for tightening and contracting internal dermal tissue. In particular, the device uses an elongated hollow shaft having a distal end that has an ultrasonic energy source that projects ultrasonic energy outward at the distal end of the device to lyse through the subcutaneous fat tissue, and associated fiber optics and lens that projects laser beams outward to irradiate the internal dermal tissue.
Abstract: Inkjet printing technology is used to apply a selected design on a fingernail or toenail. The nail printing device applies highly detailed, customized, multicolored designs that are scaled to the size and shape of the individual nail. The device comprises an ink jet print head; a holder for aligning the digit or nail, and a control system that contains the nail designs in an electronic digital form, scales and corrects the designs to the individual nail size and shape, and directs the ink jet print head to apply the scaled design to the nail.
