  • Publication number: 20250104716
    Abstract: An embodiment includes a method of vocal profile generation and implementation that includes causing display of a prompt for a user that represents an input value of a processing engine. The method includes obtaining a first spoken pronunciation from the user that corresponds to the prompt. The method includes generating a vocal profile based on the first spoken pronunciation that provides a basis for interpretation of vocal input received on distributed devices. The method includes storing the vocal profile at a data storage with other vocal profiles generated for users. The method includes obtaining identifier information that indicates that the user is operating a distributed device. Responsive to the identifier information, the method includes retrieving the vocal profile and loading it onto the distributed device such that obtained vocal input is interpreted according to the vocal profile prior its communication as an input value to the processing engine.

  • Publication number: 20210370036
    Abstract: A tattoo device is provided comprising a housing having a first oscillator which is coupled, in use, to a needle assembly having a sharps end. The first oscillator is arranged and adapted to induce vibrations at a frequency from 1-1000 Hz substantially longitudinally along an axis of the needle assembly in order to cause, in use, the sharps end to penetrate skin. The tattoo device further comprises a second oscillator which is also coupled, in use, to the needle assembly, wherein the second oscillator is arranged and adapted simultaneously to induce vibrations at a higher frequency than the first oscillator and in particular at a frequency from 5-200 kHz in order to lower the insertion force required to penetrate skin layers.
