Abstract: A method of controlling a plurality of home appliances to regulate humidity includes monitoring a humidity value from one or more of a humidity sensor. The method also includes detecting, by at least one of the one or more humidity sensors, the humidity value is less than a threshold humidity value. The method further includes releasing, at one or more appliances of the plurality of home appliances, water vapor. Artificial intelligence detects the one or more humidity sensors that detects the humidity value less than the threshold humidity value, and releases water vapor at the one or more appliances of the plurality of appliances proximate the one or more humidity sensors.

Abstract: An interface device that enables a severely handicapped individual to control a telephone to place and terminate calls and to carry on a conversation regardless of whether the individual can speak or use his or her hands. A personal computer is programmed to display a menu for the handicapped individual to read wherein a selectable area of the menu is active for a period of time. After the period of time, the next selectable area of the menu is active for another period of time. The program makes each menu selection active in a predetermined order. A sensor that detects voluntary motion of the handicapped individual is connected to a transducer that converts the motion detected into a computer input, such as a mouse “click,” which selects the active area on the menu. Advantageously, the process may begin again or may move to another menu, depending upon the item selected.
