20100201829CAMERA AIMING USING AN ELECTRONIC POSITIONING SYSTEM FOR THE TARGET - Vehicles, such as vehicles in an open-pit mine, are visually tracked. The location of a vehicle is determined using radio frequency signals, such as pseudolite transmissions of ranging signals. The camera is steered based on the location. For example, multiple cameras are directed automatically on a vehicle based on the vehicle position. Images from a plurality of perspectives are provided to resolve or prevent a problem. The directing may include zooming for better viewing of vehicles at different distances from the camera. The directing may be incorporated into a vehicle management system, such as a dispatch system. For example, a user selects a vehicle from a list of managed vehicles or a displayed map, and the cameras are steered to view the selected vehicle based on the position of the vehicle.08-12-2010

The cellular telephone is provided with a keypad that is movable from a first position, where a first display and keypad is exposed, to a second position where a second display and keypad is exposed. In the first position, the cellular telephone operates in a conventional cellular telephone manner. In the second position, the cellular telephone operates as the medical device. The second display and/or keypad is hidden from public view when the keypad is in the first position.09-11-2008
20080254753DYNAMIC VOLUME ADJUSTING AND BAND-SHIFTING TO COMPENSATE FOR HEARING LOSS - A remote station apparatus comprises a transmit/receive circuit that is operable to transmit/receive signals to/from a communications network. A control processor receives signals from the transmit/receive circuit, the signals comprising an audio signal to be provided to a user through a user interface. The control processor is operable to modify the audio signal to shift, compress, and/or amplify one or more frequency bands based on predetermined audio signal modification parameters prior to providing the audio signal to the user interface. The audio signal modification parameters may be determined based on the user's hearing ability and/or preferences.10-16-2008
20080318624PERSONAL VIRTUAL ASSISTANT - A personal virtual assistant is provided. The personal virtual assistant includes a medical device and remote station that is connectable via a wireless network to a server containing a control processor and rules engine. The medical device is used to provide physiological information to the remote station. The remote station communicates the physiological information and other related information to the server that monitors the information for a number of reasons, including determining whether the physiological information has a trend. Based on the detrimental trend, the server communicates back to the remote station virtual assistance in the form of advice regarding tips to help facilitate halting or reversing the trend.12-25-2008
