Abstract: An interactive system may be implemented in part by an audio device located within a user environment, which may accept speech commands from a user and may also interact with the user by means of generated speech. In order to improve performance of the interactive system, a user may use a separate device, such as a personal computer or mobile device, to access a graphical user interface that lists details of historical speech interactions. The graphical user interface may be configured to allow the user to provide feedback and/or corrections regarding the details of specific interactions.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to auditory nerve stimulation to create the perception of sound in the brain of a subject such as an animal or human being. In one form, a system includes an implantable electrode array including a plurality of spaced apart micro-needles. The system also includes a first electrical lead electrically coupled to and extending from the implantable electrode array, and an auditory signal device configured to produce one or more electrical signals representative of communications received from an external processor. An interposer is configured to electrically couple the implantable electrode array and the auditory signal device in an arrangement where one or more electrical signals produced by the auditory signal device may be transmitted through the first electrical lead to the implantable electrode array. Various novel stimulation strategies can be employed, such as place modulated stimulation signals.

Abstract: An improved underwear garment includes an inner compartment and an outer aperture. The inner compartment is sized to receive the male genitals and secure them in a resting and comfortable position. The outer aperture may be secured with either a button or a zipper in some preferred embodiments. Users may choose to use the inner compartment to secure the male genitals. However, users may forego the use of the inner compartment, as it is versatile in its operation.

Abstract: A camper cover for mounting over the cargo area of a vehicle, for example a truck such as a pick-up truck. The camper cover includes a plurality of frame members adapted for mounting the frame members on a vehicle to form a camper frame over the cargo area of the vehicle. An inflatable cover member is attached to the camper frame to form the camper cover. The inflatable cover member is preferably formed of opposed flexible, air tight sheets, such as polyvinylchloride, seamed together to form an inflatable enclosure between the sheets, with the sheets being further attached together by a plurality of longitudinal seams to form adjacent inflatable sections within the enclosure. The inflatable sections are in gas communication, adapted for introducing a gas, e.g., air, into and withdrawing the gas from the inflatable cover member. When inflated, the cover member conforms to the camper frame. The inflatable cover member is secured to the sidewalls of the cargo area of a vehicle.
