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: The invention is essentially a motherboard design for personal computers which uses DSP hardware in conjunction with a general or specific purpose CPU to process command and continuous speech. The DSP hardware serves as a bridge between the audio input of the sound card or integrated sound module and the microprocessor. The DSP chip itself can serve as a processor and embedded speech engine for processing command and control speech. It can also serve as a pre-processor for continuous speech, converting the digital bit stream representing the speech to phonemes for processing by the CPU and software-based speech engine and can facilitate digital mobile phone functions and text to speech conversion.

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: a communications module; a display module; and 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 display screens.

Abstract: The present application relates to a mobile computer and, more specifically, to a power management system for a user-supported computer that can be operated in a hands-free manner. Specifically, a mobile, body-supported computer comprising a computer housing, a heat insulating grille, an integral battery with a thermally non-conductive casing, activating means, means for attaching said computer housing to a user, said computer housing comprising substantially all of the components of a conventional computer. The thermally non-conducting battery casing and insulating grille provides a user a contact area that will not result in a burn injury.

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: 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: In this invention, a sensor is placed in the computer system or sometimes in the display to optimize the display figures. Various types of sensors are used to measure ambient conditions and the user specifications and requirements.

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: This invention involves an apparatus for on-site testing and inspecting of metal structures and their deterioration. The NDT and hands free computer are both worn by the inspector to give him or her immediate results of the test.

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.

Abstract: This is a compartment that provides for increased protection of PCMCIA cards when used in computers. The compartment is covered by a movable door which can be moved to accommodate various size PCMCIA cards with various type projections. Since the entire horizontal portion of a PCMCIA card will seat in the compartment, a firm support is provided for the entire card.

Abstract: The present invention is an improvement on the functionality of garments of personal protection. The design is a portable computer system with all of the system components incorporated into an item of personal wear, for example into a garment such as a vest, that is shielded by a layer of armor. The armored garment will protect the user and completely house the processing unit, input device, and any peripheral attached to the processing unit.

Abstract: There is described a smart weapon system including a weapon which serves as an enclosure to a transferable core computer. The computer provides the operator of the weapon the advantages of having an integrated computer/communications platform contained within the weapon and thus reducing the burden placed on the operator to carry multiple and distinct computer/communication devices.

Abstract: The invention is essentially a flat panel display, preferably for use with wearable computers, which utilizes a display which is separate from the CPU, which can perform as a static flat panel display when connected to or in communication with the computer, but can also function as a thin client PDA when independent from the computer to which it was originally connected. The device will look and function as a flat panel display and include integral activation means either through stylus, touch panel, integrated pointing device, voice, or other activation means. This activation means will be available whether the device is functioning as a display or as a thin client PDA. The device will be small enough to be worn, carried or otherwise supported by the user, but can be utilized independently as a PDA to perform data input, calendars and scheduling, memo inputting and other thin client functions, and will run a thin client operating system such as Windows® CE or Palm® OS.
