Publication number: 20230264824Abstract: A flying vehicle with a battery pack associated with each propulsion module, not centrally located, that is plug and play, meaning it can be easily removed by hand and swapped with any other battery of same model and serial number and used within a propulsion module to power the propulsion system. The system includes battery management modules for monitoring battery pack voltage and evenly re-distributes power across all independent battery packs keeping each pack within relative voltage of each other. The packs within the vehicle are monitored for balancing so one pack cannot become too low in power as to not operate while the vehicle's other packs are still working.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: Alan Joseph Arkus, Thaddeus Bort, JR., Zachary Morgan Carlton, Mickey W. Kowitz, Erik Stephansen

Publication number: 20190108290Abstract: A call center implementing as a primary facing entry point for customers a text messaging system that allows customers to send a single text message or series of text messages with one or more novel questions that may or may not be formed properly. Instead of a human responding, the system will convert the question to a specific data model and respond via third party extension or directly from the system with a response dynamically answered without being required to be seen by a human prior to responding.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2018Publication date: April 11, 2019Applicant: ClinMunications, LLCInventor: Mickey W.

Patent number: 9754083Abstract: An apparatus (102, 104) and method for generating a formatted clinical study report (206) by analyzing submitted clinical study data (150) based on semantics and maximum entropy analysis at a server (104). Sections of the formatted clinical study report are identified in the submitted data (111) using semantics analysis and maximum entropy analysis (204). The identified sections are formatted and output as the formatted clinical study report (206). The formatted clinical study report (206) may be reviewed and edited after generation by a user interfacing with the server (104).Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2012Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Clingenuity, LLCInventors: Keith M.

Patent number: 9293139Abstract: A wireless communication device that accepts recorded audio data from an end-user. The audio data can be in the form of a command requesting user action. The audio data is reduced to a digital file in a format that is supported by the device hardware. The digital file is sent via wireless communication to at least one server computer for further processing. The command includes a unique device identifier that identifies the wireless communication device. The server computer determines required additional processing for the command based on the unique device identifier. The server computer constructs an application command based on the processed command, and transmits the application command to the wireless communication device. The application command includes at least one instruction that causes a corresponding application on the wireless communication device to execute the application command.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2014Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Stephen S. Burns, Mickey W. Kowitz

Patent number: 9275634Abstract: An email system for mobile devices, such as cellular phones and PDAs, is disclosed which allows email messages to be played back on the mobile device as voice messages on demand by way of a media player, thus eliminating the need for a unified messaging system. Email messages are received by the mobile device in a known manner. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, the email messages are identified by the mobile device as they are received. After the message is identified, the mobile device sends the email message in text format to a server for conversion to speech or voice format. After the message is converted to speech format, the server sends the messages back to the user's mobile device and notifies the user of the email message and then plays the message back to the user through a media player upon demand.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2014Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Stephen S.

Patent number: 8812325Abstract: A wireless communication device is disclosed that accepts recorded audio data from an end-user. The audio data can be in the form of a command requesting user action. Likewise, the audio data can be converted into a text file. The audio data is reduced to a digital file in a format that is supported by the device hardware, such as a .wav, .mp3, .vnf file, or the like. The digital file is sent via secured or unsecured wireless communication to one or more server computers for further processing. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, the system evaluates the confidence level of the of the speech recognition process. If the confidence level is high, the system automatically builds the application command or creates the text file for transmission to the communication device.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2010Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Stephen S. Burns, Mickey W. Kowitz

Publication number: 20130030807Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2012Publication date: January 31, 2013Inventors: Stephen S.
