Abstract: An atmospheric water generation system comprises water vapor consolidation systems configured to increase the relative humidity of a controlled air stream prior to condensing water from the controlled air stream. The water vapor consolidation system comprises a fluid-desiccant flow system configured to decrease the temperature of the desiccant to encourage water vapor to be absorbed by the desiccant from an atmospheric air flow. The desiccant flow is then heated to encourage water vapor evaporation from the desiccant flow into a controlled air stream that circulates within the system. The humidity of the controlled air stream is thereby increased above the relative humidity of the atmospheric air to facilitate condensation of the water vapor into usable liquid water.

Abstract: A method for conducting an automated dialogue between an inbound automated voice resource (IAVR) and an outbound automated voice resource (OAVR) during a voice communication session. The IAVR receives an initiation of the session from the OAVR and transmits a speech communication to the OAVR during the session, wherein a digital watermark is embedded in the speech communication. The OAVR identifies the digital watermark in response to analyzing the speech communication and converts an OAVR communication language from speech to machine language in response to determining that the IAVR interprets machine language based on the digital watermark. The OAVR transmits a machine language communication to the IAVR, whereby the IAVR converts an IAVR communication language from speech to machine language in response to determining that the OAVR interprets machine language based on the machine language communication. The automated dialogue is completed between the IAVR and the OAVR using machine language.
