  • Patent number: 6725198
    Abstract: A system and method for analyzing a speech problem includes the steps of presenting a symbol representative of a word and prompting the user to pronounce the word represented by the symbol into an audio input device such as a microphone in signal communication with a processor. Next the therapist enters a phonetic representation of the user pronunciation into an operator input and storage device, the phonetic representation subsequently downloaded into the processor. It is then automatically determined whether an error exists in the user pronunciation. If an error exists, the error is automatically categorized.

  • Publication number: 20040019594
    Abstract: An interactive electronic method for selecting and ordering subsections of a form has a user aspect that includes accessing a database housing a record containing at least one form that includes a plurality of subsections and indicia relating to the form and the subsections. At least a portion of the indicia are viewed, from which at least one of the subsections are chosen, if desired, by selecting the related indicia. When the selections are complete, the chosen subsection is ordered, and the user receives an electronic file containing an automatically assembled, unitary document incorporating the ordered subsection. The provider's aspect includes electronically offering and delivering the form subsections to the user by providing an electronic interface between a user and the database, permitting the user to choose and order a subsection, assembling the ordered subsection into a unitary document, and delivering the unitary document electronically to the user.

  • Patent number: 5761380
    Abstract: A method for installing a network application is disclosed. First, the hardware resources of at least a local computer system in the network are determined. Next, the a number of users in a cell of the network is determined. The installation process determines whether the hardware resources of the local computer system can provide an adequate level of performance for the number of users in the cell if all of the network application are installed on the local computer system. If not, an installation plan is calculated to distribute components of the network application in a plurality of computer systems to provide an adequate level of performance for the cell. The installation plan is presented on a local system display. The network administrator is afforded the opportunity to change the assumptions used to generate the installation plan. Once satisfied, the network application is installed in the plurality of computer systems according to the installation plan.
