  • Publication number: 20170039784
    Abstract: An on-board vehicle diagnostic device in communication with a vehicle is provided. The device includes a housing formed from a suitable material. The housing includes a plurality of connector pins. The pins are formed to interconnect with an OBD port, such as any OBD-II port found in a vehicle. The pins are additionally formed such that they engage the OBD-II port and remain connected to the port. The OBD-II port is located in the vehicle, and is in communication with an on-board vehicle processor. Also provided within the housing are a wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver. The wireless receiver may be configured to receive, from the on-board vehicle processor, vehicle diagnostic pin-readouts. The pin-readouts may include location information, such as GPS coordinates. The wireless receiver may be further configured to receive geofence coordinate information, which may correspond to a geographical area.

  • Publication number: 20040073308
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of correcting numerous bone abnormalities including bone tumors and cysts, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, tibial plateau fractures and compression fractures of the spine. The abnormality may be corrected by first accessing and boring into the damaged tissue or bone and reaming out the damaged and/or diseased area using any of the presently accepted procedures or the damaged area may be prepared by expanding a bag within the damaged bone to compact cancellous bone. After removal and/or compaction of the damaged tissue the bone must be stabilized.
