Abstract: The present invention is machine-to-machine (M2M) mobile platform that has a controller that can communicate with RFID tags and receives RFID information into a mobile vehicle foreign network with an all-in-one mobile solution and also communicates with a home network having a computer server. The present invention provides an integrated command and communication platform to support communications by cell phone, WiFi, GPS, RFID controller, vehicle information controller, and real-time integration to optimize performance of the remote tracking network. With the use of the present invention, fleet services, mobile inventory, and asset tracking can be efficiently organized and conducted across a fleet of vehicles, a multitude of remote tracking devices, and geographically around the world.

Abstract: A helical fastener having a high retentive surface area is provided and has a first end for enhancing penetration into tissue and a second end comprising a coil sectioning a diameter of the fastener for receiving longitudinal and rotational forces. The helical fasteners are attached to body tissue by a fastener applicator having a proximal portion comprising a handle and an actuator and an elongate distal portion for housing a plurality of fasteners. A transferring action of the actuator provides longitudinal and rotational movement of the fasteners out of the distal portion and into body tissue.

Abstract: A Wireless bridge conjoins two previously incompatible technologies within a single device to leverage the strengths of each. The Wireless bridge marries the Personal Area Network (PAN) technology of Bluetooth as described in Bluetooth Specification Version 1.0B with the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) technology described in the IEEE802.11a specification to provide a wireless system level solution for peripheral devices to provide Internet service interactions. The invention brings together in a single working device implementations of these technologies so they do not interfere or disrupt the operation of each other and instead provide a seamless transition of a Bluetooth connection to Wireless Local Area Network/Internet connection. From the Wireless Local Area Network perspective the inventive wireless bridge extension allows a Bluetooth-enabled device to roam from one Wireless Access Point (bridge) to the next without losing its back end connection.
