Patent
Method and system for locating a portable medical device
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a wireless automatic location identification (ALI) capable system for remotely locating and monitoring one or more medical devices over the wireless communication network. But, the system requires the medical device to be linked to the remote locating service over the communication network, and the ALI-capable system identifies the location of the medical devices and relays the location information to the Remote Locating Service.
Patent
Distributed satellite position system processing and application network
TL;DR: In this paper, a first mobile SPS receiver receives SPS signals from a plurality of SPS satellites and transmits a position information to a wireless cell based station which is coupled to a first communication network.
Patent
Interactive advisory system
Root Steven A,Root Michael R +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for providing information to a plurality of vendors located remotely from a broadcast network was proposed, where the plurality of user defined parameters are received by a user input database with at least one of the user-defined parameters including a user profile.
