  • Patent number: 11931281
    Abstract: An adjustable brace for stabilizing a body part of a patient and a method of fabricating such a brace is provided. In some embodiments, the adjustable brace comprises a first 3D printed stabilizer having a first exterior surface, a first interior surface, and a first thickness; a second stabilizer comprising a second exterior surface, a second interior surface, and a second thickness; one or more attachment points; and one or more selective engagement structures, wherein the first 3D printed stabilizer selectively engages with the second 3D printed stabilizer at common peripheries of the first 3D printed stabilizer and second 3D printed stabilizer via the one or more selective engagement structures, respectively; and a position of the first 3D printed stabilizer is adjustable in relation to the second 3D printed stabilizer.

  • Patent number: 7593809
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining traffic conditions using wireless devices. A number of signals from the vehicles traveling in selected routes are received by several wireless communication networks via the wireless devices. The total number of signals received are used to compare if there are sufficient number of vehicles traveling on the selected routes. If so, then the location information of the moving vehicles at various times is determined by the wireless communication network and forwarded to a central computer. The central computer coordinates with the wireless communications network for information needed to compute traffic data. The central computer computes the velocity of the moving vehicles and a traffic profile is created based on the velocity and location information of the moving vehicles. Furthermore, the traffic profile is sent to the moving vehicles.

  • Publication number: 20080287143
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are related to a method and apparatus for determining whether each mobile station in a pre-defined group of two or more mobile stations is in compliance with acceptable location criteria. A group tracking server receives mobile station tracking information including a mobile station identifier for each mobile station. The server also receives current location coordinates corresponding to the mobile station identifier for each mobile station from a locator device. A relative location of each mobile station relative to one or more pre-determined targets is calculated. The acceptable location criteria for each mobile station relative to the one or more pre-determined targets is retrieved from a location criteria database.

A group tracking server receives mobile station tracking information including a mobile station identifier for each mobile station. The server also receives current location coordinates corresponding to the mobile station identifier for each mobile station from a locator device. A relative location of each mobile station relative to one or more predetermined targets the calculated. The acceptable location criteria for each mobile station relative to the one or more pre-determined targets is retrieved from a location criteria database.
