Abstract: A cellular telephone system that includes a wireless handset that connects to a stationary (or mobile) data center, data station or home station remote from the wireless handset. The wireless handset and stationary data center communicate bidirectionally over an exclusive communication link such that commands entered by a user to the wireless handset are relayed to the stationary data center via the exclusive data communication link, and results from executing the commands are relayed from the home station to the wireless handset also via the exclusive data communication link and displayed on said screen. The processor at the data center or home station accesses the Internet and sends screens back to the handset for display. The handset appears smart to the user, but according to the present invention, most of the actual processing and Internet access is performed at the home station.

Abstract: A system and method for managing water produced by fuel cells where this waste water is captured and used for agricultural, industrial or community purposes along with electricity generated by the fuel cells. Water from a coastal (or lake coast) region can be converted by electricity into hydrogen and oxygen gas or hydrogen and chlorine gas with the hydrogen gas being piped to remote regions for conversion into fresh water and electricity by fuel cells. The oxygen or chlorine can be optionally recovered.

Abstract: A business system that allows vehicle telematics and other trip planning systems to be updated with latest road construction information. This information can be periodically downloaded to the trip planning system in order to factor in possible road construction delays into trip planning. The information can be gathered by direct observation or by periodic reports from governmental agencies. A subscription fee could be charged for this service.

Abstract: A handheld personal unit that can estimate a user's position in 3-dimensional space by determining a horizontal position and an altitude. GPS or assisted GPS can be used to determine the horizontal position, while barometric pressure assisted altimetry can be used to determine altitude accurately enough to localize the user to a particular floor of a particular building, and many times to a particular room. An artificial intelligence system can access one or more databases to provide data to the user that is related to the user's position in 3-dimensional space. This data can come from a database either stored in the handheld device or stored at a separate remote location. If a remote location is used to provide data and current barometric pressure (and possibly GPS assist), this station can access other remote stations, as needed, to supply the information. The handheld unit and/or the remote station can optionally access the internet to seek information related to the user's location in 3-dimensional space.

Abstract: A portable emergency medical device capable of communicating with a remote location preferably as a cellular telephone that can measure one or more human vital parameters such as pulse rate, body temperature, skin moisture, blood pressure, ECG or blood chemistry and can receive symptoms from a user either by voice recognition or by keypad and can provide an expert medical diagnosis. The device can store a complete medical history for one or more users and can use an expert system to make the diagnosis. The device can make an emergency medical call either on command or automatically requesting help and optionally supplying medical information and/or GPS location information.

Abstract: A system and method for viewing video images from security systems on a remote handheld communications device like a cellular telephone. Video can be collected at a surveillance location, digitized and compressed, and streamed over a telephone line in a compressed form such as MPEG4 to a remote communications device. A menu on the remote device as well as a local joy-stick (or telephone navigation buttons) and other keys could allow selection of various cameras and/or pan, tilt and zoom functions on a particular camera. Split screen displays of more than one camera can be presented. In an alternative embodiment, the security video can be streamed from a web site.

Abstract: An wireless telephone microchip can be implanted into a human or animal to allow telephone calling, location and control of implanted medical devices. A chip can contain complete telephone circuitry, GPS and local RF communication to an earphone/microphone for telephony and for controlling or modifying a medical device. Wideband local RF can provide downloaded compressed music to a high quality earphone. The chip could optionally contain a small microphone and earphone that operates through the skin. The chip can contain a battery that can be recharged through an externally applied field or by other means. In particular, the battery could be recharged while the user sleeps in a bed containing an induction coil.

Abstract: A system and method for supplying and receiving custom scenes of events like sporting events where a user can request a particular image, either one that is known to be available, or in some embodiments, an image from a virtual camera located anywhere the user wishes it and pointed in a direction specified by the user with a specified zoom. Parameters of some such virtual scenes can be predetermined for the user (such as the moving view from the kicker's eyes during a field goal kick). Requests can be made for images and images can be transmitted by any possible transmission method or technique including cable, internet, wireless and telephone. Images can be displayed on any type of wired, cabled, or wireless device. In particular, special eyeglasses or heads-up displays can be used. Displayed images can be 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional.

Abstract: A lighter-than-air ship using hydrogen or other gas as a lift gas with at least one hydrogen fuel cell aboard. The fuel cell can draw hydrogen fuel from the lift gas reservoir to produce electricity both for the ship's use and optionally for propulsion. The waste product of the fuel cell is water which can be used for the needs of a crew on the ship. The hydrogen lift gas chamber, which can be compartmentalized for lift control, can be surrounded by a safety jacket filled with an inert gas and contain optional hydrogen and/or oxygen sensors.
