  • Publication number: 20220347358
    Abstract: A system embodied in an article of clothing for synchronizing one or more breast-pumping sessions of an individual (such as a mother) and milk consumption by a second individual (such as a baby or infant) is described. In particular, based on measurements of a volume of the collected milk as a function of time and received information specifying milk consumption by the second individual as a function of time, a control circuit may determine a need for milk. Then, the control circuit may provide feedback based on the determined need for milk that synchronizes the one or more breast-pumping sessions and the milk consumption. For example, the feedback may alert the individual to initiate a breast-pumping session and/or may provide a signal to a breast pump that initiates a breast-pumping session.

  • Patent number: 4991217
    Abstract: Voice signals amplified in a programmable gain, programmable bandwidth subsystem are digitized and buffered and the digitized signals are transferred over a dedicated high speed bus to a speech processor, thus relieving the speech processor and its resident host of the overhead of high data rate transfers and permitting a relatively low capacity computer to accomplish voice recognition on a real time basis.
