Title: Pacifier
Inventor: STRUCKMEIER ARMIN
IPC: A61J17/00
Filed: 2003-03-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a pacifier, consisting of a body (1) and a shank (2 ). The body of the pacifier (1) is provided with a recess extending in a longitudinal direction of the pacifier. Said pacifier is configured in such a way that the recess (4), when seen from a longitudinal point of view, tapers off in an essentially flat manner towards the free front end (1a) of the bod y (1) of the pacifier. Preferably, the recess (4) extends along the entire length of the pacifier (1). Preferably, the shank (2), when seen from a cros s- sectional point of view, has a bent shape. The pacifier is particularly advantageous when seen from a jaw orthopedic point of view since it simultaneously pacifies and causes the infant or young child to suck in an uniform manner.

Title: Methods and apparatus for data caching to improve name recognition in large namespaces
Inventor: SANDERS DEREK
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2005-01-18
Abstract: Systems and techniques for improved efficiency and accuracy in voice dialing and directory lookup applications. A voice dialing module receives an input from a user and examines a directory to identify recognition results matching the voice input.  A list of recognition results matching the voice input is constructed, the entries being ranked by confidence. A called party cache for each user includes entries for parties the user is likely to call. Once the result list has been constructed, the voice dialing module compares the list with the called party cache in order to determine if entries in the list appear in the cache. If an entry in the result list appears in the cache, the result list is reordered in order to take into account the increased likelihood that an entry appearing in the called party cache will be an entry the user wishes to call.
