  • Patent number: 9371004
    Abstract: A nomadic device may connect to a vehicle computing system (VCS) and be configured to identify data element parameter information associated with a gauge to be displayed, capture, using a data bridge adapter connected to a vehicle network, an element of vehicle data according to the data element parameter information, and display, via the VCS, the gauge including the element of vehicle data formatted according to the data element parameter information. A VCS may be configured to receive filtered vehicle data from a telematics gateway configured to provide a subset of vehicle data provided over a vehicle network, receive vehicle data from a nomadic device in communication with a data bridge adapter configured to capture vehicle data provided over the vehicle network, and utilize the vehicle data to provide information via the VCS unavailable via the filtered vehicle data.

  • Patent number: 6428504
    Abstract: An apparatus and method to implement and control a plurality of minimally invasive therapies in the treatment of a medical condition of a patient based on a treatment plan. The apparatus includes a template which has a plurality of electrically conductive apertures, a plurality of needles which have a plurality of sensors and a processor. At least one of the needles is inserted through and in electrical contact with one of the conductive apertures. The processor is electrically coupled to the template and is configured to send signals to and receive signals from at least one of the sensors of at least one of the needles inserted through one of the conductive apertures. The processor is further configured to process the signals received from the sensor in relation to the treatment plan and to adjust the signals sent to the sensor to control the treatment.
