Abstract: A computer readable medium including computer executable instructions for evaluating a condition associated with a first person. The instructions include functionality to present a first question in a first language, receive a selection of the first question, and obtain a first audio file corresponding to the first question in a second language. The instructions further include functionality to output the first question in the second language using the first audio file and present a first number of answers to the first question, where the first number of answers is in the first language. The instructions further include functionality to receive a selection of one of the first number of answers, perform an evaluation of the condition associated with the first person based on the selection of the first question and the selection of the one of the first number of answers, and present the evaluation to the user.

Abstract: A circuit and method for automatically compensating display contrast for temperature changes allowing user preference setting. The invention can be applied to any device having a display, but in one embodiment, portable electronic devices such as palmtops, other portable computers, personal digital assistants, cellular telephones, portable web browsers, remote controls, pagers, etc. are described herein. The invention allows a user to set a desired contrast preference and provides display feedback to the user as the preference setting is being made. Once the preference is set, the invention automatically compensates the contrast adjustment based on variable temperature conditions to maintain the display according to the user preference. For instance, as the temperature falls, the invention automatically detects this and adjusts the contrast in a first direction to maintain the user preference.

Abstract: A system for controlling battery charging. The system comprises a battery charging device, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The battery may be a Lithium polymer battery, or the like. The temperature sensor senses the battery temperature and outputs a temperature data signal. The controller inputs the temperature data signal and determines if the temperature data is outside of a range with an upper limit and lower limit. If so, the controller disables the battery charging circuit, wherein the battery is prevented from being charged. In this fashion, the battery's lifetime (e.g., number of charge/discharge cycles) is extended. In another embodiment, the system further comprises a display. The controller outputs a signal to the display, directing it to display a message indicating that the battery is not being charged because the temperature is out of the pre-determined range.
