A voice response system attempts to respond to spoken user input and to provide computer-generated responses. If the system decides it cannot provide valid responses, the current state of user session is determined and forwarded to a human operator for further action. The system maintains a recorded history of the session in the form of a dialog history log. The dialog history and information as to the reliability of past speech recognition efforts is employed in making the current state determination. The system includes formatting rules for controlling the display of information presented to the human operator.

An artificial lighting system. The artificial lighting system generates electromagnetic radiation at a source location, and outputs the electromagnetic radiation at a target location. The output is in the form of electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum and/or photosynthetically active radiation. In some embodiments, the electromagnetic radiation is focused and distributed through one or more lenses to provide increased intensity. For target locations that are physically remote from the source location, optical waveguides and components distribute the electromagnetic radiation. Some embodiments incorporate an automated emitter allowing the output of the artificial lighting system to be moved at the target location. The artificial lighting system seeks to provide high intensity electromagnetic radiation to the target while minimizing the exposure of the target to the heat generated by the light source.
