Patent number: 7668046Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed for determining the position of a user interface mouse using time of arrival measurements. A transmitter transmits a signal to an array of receivers that are spatially separated from one another. The time difference of arrival for is found for each receiver relative to a predetermined reference receiver. Using the time difference of arrival (TDOA) of each receiver, the location in 3-dimensional space of each receiver, and the speed of sound the position of the transmitter in 3-dimensional space relative to the reference receiver may be found.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2008Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Inventors: Christian Banker, Michael Cretella, Jeff Dimaria, Jamie Mitchell, Jeff Tucker, Brian King

Publication number: 20060064326Abstract: A centralized system and process for prescribing medications through the Internet comprising a secured, interactive website with a unique URL address for entering and retrieving medical prescriptions via the Internet by a general use computer. The website is secured by encryption and by limiting access to medical and pharmaceutical personnel having authorized I.D. A dedicated central remote server is accessed through the website with access limited to authorized users. The remote server comprises computer hardware capable of data storage for system data for the website. A high security Internet service provider connected to the remote server provides access to the website by authorized personnel. The process can create a patient file with patient identifying information, if necessary.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2005Publication date: March 23, 2006Inventor: Jeff Tucker
