Abstract: An Internet direct device comprises an imaging system to capture at least one of audio, still images and video images, and a microprocessor. The microprocessor transmits at least one of the captured audio, the captured still images and the captured video images to a website archive and review center and/or another Internet direct device upon image capture over a communications network. The Internet direct device automatically connects to the communications network on power-up using one of a plurality of available modes of connection, which is designated as a primary mode of connection. The Internet direct device automatically switches to another available mode of connection when the communications network is unavailable.

Abstract: An integrated Internet camera system method comprises a website archive and review center (WSARC) for storing and managing images and an Internet direct device for capturing an image, automatically transmitting the image to an account associated with the Internet direct device on the WSARC upon image capture and receiving stored image from the WSARC. The Internet direct device comprises an imaging system, a microprocessor and a display for displaying the captured image and the received image. The Internet direct device automatically connects to the communication network on power-up. The Internet direct device automatically switches to another available mode of connection when the Internet direct device detects that the primary mode of connection to the communications network is unavailable.

Abstract: An Internet direct device comprises an imaging system and a microprocessor. The imaging system captures still or video images. The microprocessor transmits the captured still or video images to an account associated with a website or another Internet direct device upon image capture, and receives still or video images from other Internet direct devices over a communications network. The Internet direct device automatically connects to the communications network on power-up using one of a plurality of available modes of connection, which is designated as a primary mode of connection. The Internet direct device automatically switches to another available mode of connection when the Internet direct device detects that the primary mode of connection to the communications network is unavailable.

Abstract: A multi-piece safety wheel includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced, interlocking bosses and tabs on the inner rim portion and outer rim portion. In the event of improper disassembly of the wheel with an inflated tire mounted thereon, any failure of the wheel assembly fasteners will result in the outer rim portion separating from the inner rim portion a sufficient distance to vent air pressure from within the tire, at which point the interlocking bosses and tabs resist further movement of the outer rim portion. The outer rim portion is thereby resisted from becoming a potentially dangerous projectile. A method of safely deflating the tire upon improper disassembly of the multi-piece safety wheel is also provided.

Abstract: A method for modulating, regulating and/or neutralizing heparin-dependent anticoagulant reactions by administration of lactoferrrin or polypetide fragments thereof. Said method may be used to correct the "heparin-induced" prolongation of blood coagulation and other coagulapathies in cardiopulmonary bypass, cardiac catheterization and hemodialysis patients. Said method may further be used to treat disorders and diseases related to unregulated or unmodulated heparin activity. Said method of treatment is comprised of administration of lactoferrin or fragments thereof comprised of the heparin binding domain(s) of lactoferrin.
