Abstract: A method of playing a card game includes the steps of: providing n number of cards from a deck of cards to each player; requiring each player to select and remove x number of cards from their n number of cards to make a card hand of x number of selected cards and n?x number of unselected cards; requiring each player to discard their unselected cards to provide a pile of unselected cards; turning each card in the pile face up; allowing each player in turn to swap one card from their card hand for one card from the pile of face up unselected cards, or to pass, until each player has decided to stay with their card hand; requiring each player to reveal their card hand; and determining the winning card hand by a predetermined set of rules. Additionally, providing a community card may be included in the method.

Abstract: Vocal sounds of organisms, particularly humans, may be analyzed for characteristics defined as voice-style (resonance, quality), speech-style (variable-monotone, choppy-smooth, etc.), and perceptual-style (sensory-internal, hate-love, etc.). The amount of each characteristic is calculated from relative and difference values of measured elements including six spectral peaks and pauses. Coefficient tables indicate the relative contribution of measured elements.
