  • Patent number: 5640301
    Abstract: A system (10) for providing radio communication of data between a central processing computer (18) having a first transceiver (20) electrically connected thereto and a remotely located hand held personal computer (12). The personal computer includes an input and output device (28) mounted to the housing to allow interaction by a user. A second transceiver (102) is provided in a transceiver/handle housing (16). The transceiver/handle housing (16) is configured to be grasped by a single hand of a user. A spacing bracket (126) joins the second housing to the housing of the personal computer. An electrical connection provides for electric communication between the personal computer (12) and the second transceiver (102) so that data can be transmitted between the central processing computer (18) and the personal computer (12) by the first and second transceivers.

  • Patent number: 5179569
    Abstract: A data entry and retrieval system utilizing a plurality of remote units in radio communication with a plurality of base units in electronic communication with a central processing computer. The base units establish links with transmitting remote units by the remote units choosing the base units with the best signal. The linked remote unit and base unit transmit using frequency hopping spread spectrum modulation, using a predetermined frequency hopping sequence and at a point in the sequence unique to the particular base unit. The system may be configured with a plurality of NODES, each of which has a unique predetermined frequency hopping sequence and assigned base units and remote units.
