  • Publication number: 20120209881
    Abstract: Methods, systems and software for searching electronic documents allow a user to enter a single or multiple letters of a word group, name, phrase, or the like, and see hits that include the data inputted. The search tool solves the problem of finding the full words and ultimately the meaning of an acronym when reading a web page, word processing document, or other electronic searchable material. The search tool also solves the problem of searching through a document for particular word groups, phrases, and names, and may be especially useful where the exact spelling is unknown. The search tool may allow consumers the ability to search based on one or more characters of each name or word independently of the remaining characters in the name, phrase or word search.

  • Publication number: 20030214584
    Abstract: A system that enables enhanced vision while driving a vehicle generally three respects: (1) extended vision in front and perpendicular to the vehicle, (2) rearward vision without the “blind” spots caused by mirrors and (3) rear detection of faster oncoming traffic. A pair of side view cameras integrated into the headlight assembly of a vehicle allows extended vision perpendicular to the direction of vehicular travel, such that an obstruction beside the vehicle will not block vision. A pair of rear view cameras also preferably integrated into the headlight assembly of the vehicle allows rearward vision to be displayed where a rear view mirror is typically positioned. A speed and distance-detecting device, such as a laser or radar gun, is mounted near the rear bumper in order to observe the speed of an approaching vehicle.
