Abstract: This invention involves a wearable computer having computer components movably located in a collar that the user wears around his or her neck. The computer components can be a display or monitor, or a microphone or any other computer component.

Abstract: This invention provides a single unit called a personal communicator that combines the functions of a cell phone (or mobile phone), a body-supported computer and a pager. The personal communicator has three detachable modules: 1. a communications module; 2. a display module; and 3. a core computer module The core computer module has all of the components of a general purpose computer. Each of the modules when detached can be used in other systems such as with larger screens.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of wearable and portable computers. Specifically, the invention is a flat panel display device which is designed with certain ergonomic features which allow the user to operate the display device comfortably for longer periods of time than with previous prior art hand held displays.

Abstract: The present invention is essentially a method and system for leaving and retrieving messages at specific coordinate way points within a commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) provider network. Users carry or transport interface devices for communicating over the network and are able to record and view messages at specific coordinate locations while traveling in the network. The location of the device is calculated by the device or by the network while the device is powered on and in within the physical boundaries of the network, or through a combination of both. Messages can be made available to network subscribers when their interface devices come within an area centered about a physical coordinate location. Personalized messages can also be left by subscribers at any coordinate point within the boundaries of the network. The invention can also be used to facilitate access of information about an asset when a technician comes within a physical proximity threshold relative to said asset.

Abstract: In this invention a computer system having a core unit and an enclosure for the core unit is disclosed. The core unit has the ability to determine the nature of the enclosure (be it a car, house, etc.) and to adjust its processor to perform the function required by the enclosure.

Abstract: In this invention a novel antigen and a novel antibody-antigen complex are provided for screening patients suspected of having celiac disease. The antigen is prepared by starting with human placenta tissue which is perfused with a hepes and collagenase buffer to obtain a single cell suspension. This suspension is enriched to obtain an enriched protein portion and then separated out to obtain an embryonic celiac antigen (ECA). This ECA is used with serum from patients to effect binding of ECA with IgA in the serum while applying a human IgA antibody to the serum. The results are then read on a spectrophotometer to confirm or negate the presence of celiac disease.

Abstract: The invention is a wearable computer system comprised of a transferable core computer module and an enclosure which has been constructed to be instrinsically safe according to Class 1, Divisions 1, 2 or both of the U.S. Electrical Code. According to the system of the present invention, workers may make use of this system in environments in which typical electrical devices may not be used due to the presence of ambient ignitable gases and vapors. The enclosure may also be designed to have the properties of water tightness, air tightness and shock absorbtion.
