Method and system for adjusting the voice prompt of an interactive system based upon the user's state

ActiveUS20050060158A1Enhance better drivingPromote alertnessSpeech recognitionSpeech synthesisUser stateSpeech sound
The voice prompt of an interactive system is adjusted based upon a state of a user. An utterance of the user is received, and the state of the user is determined based upon signal processing of the utterance of the user. Once the state of the user is determined, the voice prompt is adjusted by adjusting at least one of a tone of voice of the voice prompt, a content of the voice prompt, a prosody of the voice prompt, and a gender of the voice prompt based upon the determined state of the user.

Immune privileged cells for delivery of proteins and peptides

Methods for sustained delivery of biologically active proteins or peptides to mammals are disclosed. Specific types of immune-privileged allogeneic or xenogenic donor cells that are naturally immune privileged are genetically modified in vitro to express or secrete the proteins or peptides. The genetically modified donor cells are subsequently implanted into host mammals and utilized for sustained delivery of biologically active proteins or peptides in vivo. The donor cells so utilized are those that inherently possess immune privilege due at least partly to the expression of Fas ligand. Methods for cell isolation, purification, tissue culture expansion, cryopreservation, gene transfer, transgene and Fas ligand expression, cell implantation, and measurement of immune responses of host animals are described.

Sport-boot pressure monitor and method of use

A sport-boot pressure monitoring system and method of use. The system includes a left boot sensor having a left flexible fluid-containing bladder shaped to fit between a user's left leg and an interior surface of a left boot worn by the user and a left pressure sense element in pressure-sensing communication with the left flexible fluid-containing bladder, a right boot sensor that is similar to the left one, and a controller to provide a pressure alert if pressure between one of the user's legs and the interior surface of the boot worn on that leg violates a predetermined pressure threshold and to provide a proximity alert if a distance between the left and right boots violates a predetermined proximity threshold.

Peptide specificity of anti-myelin basic protein and the administration of myelin basic protein peptides to multiple sclerosis patients

Human myelin basic protein (h-MBP) has a molecular weight of 18.5 KD and contains 170 amino acid residues. Synthetic peptides ranging in length from about 8 to 25 residues and covering the entire length of the protein have been produced. Antibodies to h-MBP (anti-MBP) were found to be neutralized by the synthetic peptides, in vitro, which span the h-MBP from about amino acid residue 61 to about amino acid residue 106. The peptides, which cover both the amino (about residues 1 to 63) and carboxy (about residues 117 to 162) terminals of h-MBP did not neutralize purified anti-MBP. Intrathecal administratin of peptide MBP(75-95), MBP(86-95), or MBP(82-98) produced complete binding-neutralization of free (F) anti-MBP with no change in bound (B) levels. A control peptide MBP35-58 had no effect on F or B anti-MBP levels. Intravenous administration of MBP(75-95), MBP(86-95), or MBP(82-98) resulted in significant decline of F and B CSF anti-MBP levels. Administration of MBP synthetic peptides to MS patients either intrathecally or intravenously did not have any adverse neurological effects and systemic complications did not occur. The MBP epitope for MS anti-MBP has been localized to an area between amino acid 86 and amino acid 95.

Yan-Koloba: an educational teamwork and character building block game

InactiveUS20030124498A1Easy and durable and reliable constructionReduce manufacturing costTeaching apparatusTeam workingRhythm
A method of playing an educational group game for familiarizing the players with the concepts of teamwork, collaboration and responsibility, promoting tolerance and trust, self-esteem and leadership development, with respect to typical African culture and tradition. Following specific placement patterns, players of all cultural backgrounds and ages sit on the floor or at desks in a closed playing area. The purpose of the game is to move wooden blocks simultaneously, rhythmically and consistently among players within the closed area. Three to fifty players pick up the blocks in front of them, draw specific designs as instructed by the game facilitator, tap the blocks in front of their neighbors to the right or to the left and leave them there, while singing the accompanying song, under the guidance of the game facilitator who coordinates all major components of the game. Under great concentration, players challenge themselves not to accumulate more than one block in front of them at any time. The game presents numerous variations based on methods and outcomes, including a win-win outcome, a method of elimination, and a competitive but non-confrontational variation.

Sensorimotor Discs for Infants and Babies

ActiveUS20160022525A1Easy to moveFacilitate slight change in positionOperating chairsBaby-incubatorsTouch PerceptionSensation movement
In one example, we describe a method and system for infant's development, which is a disc system, with various combinations and extensions. The brain is the only organ that constantly reorganizes itself based on experiences or lack thereof. Babies are born with millions of neurons. Through a process called “pruning”, certain ‘circuits’ are fine-tuned through repeated practice and stimulation. This occurs from birth, throughout early childhood. The purpose of the SensiMo Disc is to provide an infant, e.g., typically, up to the 25 lbs. and / or 29 inches long, sensorimotor stimulation, while lying in a prone or supine position, with minimal active movement of the head or extremities. As the child lays supine or proneon, on the SensiMo disc, the child's tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems are stimulated. This helps develop the child's sensorimotor system. Many other variations and combinations, plus advantages, are discussed.
