          and personal identity information unique to the person using the            
          phone.  See page 2, of Appellants’ specification.  In particular,           
          the personal data which is transmitted is not only the identity             
          of the person, but also may be a substantial amount of personal             
          data such as medical information.  See page 4 of Appellants’                
          specification.                                                              
               Representative claim 1 present in the application is                   
          reproduced as follows:                                                      
               1.  A transmitter for communication over a cellular system,            
          comprising:                                                                 
               a data storage device electronically storing predefined                
          personal identity information unique to the person using said               
          transmitter for communication to a receiving station over the               
          cellular system, the predefined personal identity information               
          being exclusive of any transmitter identifying number and                   
          exclusive of the transmitter’s location;                                    
               a position-finding receiver for determining a current                  
          geographic location of the transmitter;                                     
               a signal processing element for providing a signal that                
          includes said predefined personal identity information unique to            
          the person using said transmitter and said current location;                
               a transmission element receiving said signal from said                 
          signal processing element and, in response thereto, transmitting            
          a cellular signal that includes said predefined identity                    
          information unique to the person using said transmitter and said            
          current location; and                                                       
               a manually operable actuator for establishing communication            
          with a receiving party over the cellular system and initiating              
          transmission of said cellular signal thereto.                               

                                          2
