  • Publication number: 20240184423
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for dynamic, data-driven consolidation of user interface interactions requesting roadside assistance. The method includes identifying a data objective requiring user data, accessing user data, and determining whether the user data satisfies a confidence threshold. Based at least in part on the confidence threshold determination, one of a first data objective representation and a second data objective representation is displayed. A request for roadside assistance—following satisfaction of the confidence threshold—is also issued.

  • Patent number: 7782253
    Abstract: A navigation system and method is provided for use by a snorkeler. A navigational antenna (31) is fixedly coupled to the snorkeler in a manner that positions the antenna above the waterline when his head is face down at the waterline. The antenna communicates with a display (41) to provide the snorkeler with navigational information. A GPS signal receiving antenna is employed in the illustrative embodiment and is attached to the breathing tube (23) of the diver's snorkel (20). The navigational signals received by the antenna are conveyed to a handheld GPS receiver (40) via a GPS re-transmitting antenna. An externally operable pushbutton (56) allows the snorkeler to switch between multiple screens to guide him through the snorkeling site and provide him with information relative to his immediate location.

  • Patent number: 7310063
    Abstract: A navigation system is provided for use by a snorkeler. A GPS signal receiving antenna (31) is coupled to the snorkeler in a substantially fixed spatial relationship and communicates with a display (41) to provide the snorkeler with navigational information. In the illustrative embodiment, the GPS signal receiving antenna (31) is attached to the breathing tube (23) of the diver's snorkel (20) and communicates with the display (41) of a handheld GPS receiver (40) housed in a waterproof case (50). The GPS signals received by the GPS signal receiving antenna (31) are conveyed to the handheld GPS receiver (40) via a GPS re-transmitting antenna (35) housed in the same waterproof case (50). An externally operable pushbutton (56) allows the snorkeler to switch between multiple screens presented on the display (41) to guide him through the snorkeling site.

  • Publication number: 20070161939
    Abstract: A moldable body patch to provide moisture protection for wound sites. It uses a non-linear shaped preferably medical grade flexible film piece having upper, preferably middle and lower portions and a pull tab permanently adhered to the upper portion of the film piece. A backing paper is removably adhered to the middle portion and to the lower portion which may be removed to reveal an adhesive that will provide skin adherence in a sealable relationship to prevent underlying wounds from moisture contact. When finished, the film piece may be conveniently removed by pulling on the pull tab permanently adhered to the upper portion of the film piece.

  • Publication number: 20060058722
    Abstract: An orthotic device for absorption of heel shock, treating edema and swelling and for lessening pain. It is comprised of an elastic sleeve adapted to fit over the foot and heel of a person. The sleeve includes a shock absorbing heel pad inside of the sleeve in a position to be disposed under the heel when the sleeve is worn around the heel. The sleeve is of elastomeric material providing compression to treat edema and swelling. The pad may be a polymeric plastisol material which can be cooled to provide cold therapy and positioned under the heel to provide cushioning and shock absorption.

  • Patent number: 6701252
    Abstract: Provided is a system that allows navigation by GPS while underwater by locating the antenna above water and the display below water. In one embodiment, the GPS antenna is attached to a tow-able buoy having a diver-down flag. In another embodiment, the GPS antenna is carried by the diver and released to float to the surface when the diver wishes to navigate. A preferred embodiment uses a handheld computer to display GPS data, and can be expanded to also calculate and display depth and decompression data, and to provide for further expansion and integration to include other devices.
