Abstract: A device, system, and method for tracking luggage in which the transmission of wireless signals by the device is turned off and on in response to sensor data, including the detection by a barometer of a decrease in atmospheric pressure of at least 13.8 kPa; lack of reception by a GPS receiver of a GPS signal and detection by an accelerometer and magnetometer of low frequency, low amplitude vibrations; and/or reception by a Bluetooth module of GPS coordinates transmitted by another luggage tracking device.

Abstract: The claimed technology provides a new method and process for locating and sharing information regarding the location of checked-in luggage while traveling. As part of the claimed technology, a GSM device is placed into luggage to be checked in by the traveler at the airline counter. A mobile device such as a phone or tablet lets the traveler know that their luggage has arrived in sync with the air flight. If the luggage has not arrived, the claimed technology notifies both traveler and airline of the airport location of the luggage, and proactively triggers the airline to coordinate with the passenger for delivery of the luggage.

Abstract: A method and network for managing and transferring medical information are disclosed. A network, in one embodiment, includes a portable medical device and a medical records registration (“MRR”) system for handling and transferring medical information. The portable medical device includes patient or client verification information and it is capable of issuing a request for medical related information via a communications network. The MRR system is capable of authenticating the request in response to a set of predefined verifications and obtaining the medical related information after passage of the authentication. The medical related information is subsequently forwarded in accordance with the request.
