Abstract: An intraoral method, biofeedback system and kit are provided for supplying intraoral feedback representative of a speaker's pronunciation during sound production, which feedback may be used for training and enhancing a speaker's pronunciation accuracy.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and devices for teaching the proper configuration of the oral articulators, particularly the tongue, corresponding to particular speech sounds by providing intraoral tactile feedback. Intraoral tactile feedback is achieved by placing nodes in the oral cavity of the patient in locations corresponding to the proper lingual position required to produce a target sound. These nodes facilitate identification of the appropriate lingual position corresponding to a target speech sound by providing tactile differentiation when the target sound is properly produced.

Abstract: A printer for forming an electronic device utilizing microencapsulated electrically active material includes a locally variable attractive field member that is controlled to selectively apply an attractive field at locations so that a layer of field attractive microcapsules can be formed. The field attractive microcapsules comprise an electrically reactive material. The locally variable attractive field member has an optoelectric and/or an optomagnetic coating formed on it for generating an attractive field in response to light impinging on the coating. A method of forming a thin, lightweight display includes forming a display stratum comprising light emitting pixels for displaying information. The display stratum is fabricated by printing conductive polymer microcapsules. Electronic devices are fabricated by printing patterns of electrically reactive microcapsules at discrete locations. A battery stratum fabricated by the inventive printing method provides electrical energy to the display components.
