  • Publication number: 20050021870
    Abstract: A modular computer system (20) including a universal connectivity station (UCS) (22) having a processor (42) interconnecting a plurality of physically remote modules including a PDA (36) and Smartphone (38), and a display (34). Each module of the modular computer system (20) appear to each device to be interconnected to the other. The UCS (22) enables the PDA (36) and Smartphone (38) to drive the display (38). The UCS (22) is also connectable to a data network via a network interface (54). External control devices including a keyboard (50) and mouse (52) may also control the UCS (22). The UCS (22) may translate the keyboard inputs to keystrokes, and mouse movements clicks to cursor movements and stylus taps for visually rendering on the PDA and Smartphone.

  • Patent number: 6679089
    Abstract: An automobile anti-theft device that has its parts straddling over the spoke(s) of a steering wheel, with one side tightly wrapped around by the device, Traditional steering wheel locks, such as the trademarked product The Club®, PTO registration number 872404, allows a maximum of two cuts on the steering wheel to remove the anti-theft device and thus is not a very effective theft deterrent. The present anti-theft device eliminates the two-cuts needed to easily steal because one side of the steering wheel is completely wrapped around, allowing no cuts to be made by the would-be-thieves. Theft can only be attained by extreme force to break the present device, destroying the key/lock mechanism, or chopping away the steering wheel from the steering column.
