  • Publication number: 20130030807
    Abstract: The wireless voice recognition system for data retrieval comprises a server, a database and an input/output device, operably connected to the server. When the user speaks, the voice transmission is converted into a data stream using a specialized user interface. The input/output device and the server exchange the data stream. The server uses a programming interface having an engine to match and compare the stream of audible data to a data element of selected searchable information. A data element of recognized information is generated and transferred to the input/output device for user verification.

  • Patent number: 4689126
    Abstract: A method of converting a feed solid polycrystalline of .beta. alumina into a hydronium conductor requires the preselection of an appropriate feed ceramic preferably with a chemical formula;(Na.sub.0.6 K.sub.0.4).sub.2 O (3 w/o MgO).beta./.beta."Al.sub.2 O.sub.3and with a f(.beta.) of 0.37.+-.0.03wherein ##EQU1## The crystallographic lattice is altered by placing the solid feed ceramic in an ionic solution or melt containing two or more ionic species of different ionic radii; the composition of the melt or solution being written: M.sub.1, M.sub.2 (M.sub.3 . . . ) X where M.sub.1 and M.sub.2 (and M.sub.3 etc.) are ions of dissimilar size and as examples sodium, potassium, lithium and hydronium ions. After a time the material is removed, washed and subjected to a field effect exchange whereby the desired hydronium conducting solid ceramic having the following chemical composition is achieved;(H.sub.3 O.sub.a.sup.+ /Na.sub.b.sup.+ /K.sub.c.sup.+).sub.2 O Z.beta./.beta."Al.sub.2 O.sub.3where (a)(b)(c)=0.fwdarw.
