  • Patent number: 9761126
    Abstract: One apparatus embodiment includes an electronic assembly, equipped to sense one or more changes in an environmental condition. The assembly includes a logic circuit coupled to: one or more environmental sensors, memory that provides data storage, and a wireless communicator. The logic circuit is configured to perform time measurement, perform environmental measurement with the one or more environmental sensors, store time-stamped environmental data in the memory, and communicate with particular other electronic assemblies, equipped to sense one or more changes in an environmental condition, via the wireless communicator. The logic circuit is also coupled to a power source that provides power to at least one of the logic circuit and the wireless communicator.

  • Patent number: 5828758
    Abstract: A system of the present invention includes a sound source for providing sound in the oral-nasal cavity, a microphone to receive sound modulated by the user's mouth, tongue, teeth, and lips as he or she speaks or attempts vocalization, and a circuit. The circuit, coupled to the microphone, generates an output simulating a male or female voice that conveys the modulation as intelligible speech. In one embodiment, the sound source provides subaudible sound. In another embodiment, the circuit includes a sampling circuit for digital signal processing. In yet another embodiment, the circuit with a transducer constitute the sound source for providing overtones and diagnostic waveforms in the mouth. According to a method of the present invention, a modulated sound signal with a first period is received from an oral-nasal cavity and used to form a second signal having a longer period for conveying the first signal's modulation at a lower fundamental frequency.
