Abstract: In order to evaluate a kinetic pattern, especially a movement of the head or the torso of a test person (1), that is recorded using a number of markers (M i)which are associated with the body of the test person, the locus curve (m i)of each marker (M i)is detected in a three-dimensional area as a function of time (t) and stored as a data field (DF i)of a data record (DS) which is common to all markers (M i). Computer assisted analysis of the locus curves (m i)is carried out by means of a computer (3), whereby a characteristic is determined and evaluated in terms of pattern recognition by comparing it to the corresponding reference values (RG). It is thus possible to interpret the evaluated kinetic pattern and use this information to provide a diagnostic of the basic clinical picture, especially following psychic, psychosomatic and/or neurological disorders.

Abstract: A voice messaging system such as a telephone answering device which allows automatic identification and tagging of a voice clip portion of a full voice message which contains a spoken telephone number (e.g., a call back number). The voice clip may be tagged for later playback separate from playback of the full voice message. The full voice message may be deleted, leaving just the voice clip portion containing the spoken telephone number.      The spoken telephone number may be processed through an appropriate voice recognition application program to generate textual information regarding the spoken telephone numbers, which may then be displayed. Call related information such as Caller ID information may be displayed together with the displayed textual voice clip information. The voice clip portions of the full voice message may be identified either in substantially real-time, or off-line during periods of non-use of the telephone answering device.

Granted: 2005-10-25
Abstract: A composition is provided comprising two liquids which are separately maintained prior to forming an admixture during delivery to a surface to be treated, whereupon the admixture generates a foam sufficient for cleaning efficacy and stability. A first liquid preferably includes a hypohalite, or a hypohalite generating agent and a second liquid preferably includes a peroxygen agent. As the two liquids are initially separated, the hypohalite generating agent can be maintained in an environment free of peroxygen agent and otherwise conducive to their cleaning activity and stability up to the time of use. When the two liquids are allowed to mix, for example, by simultaneously pouring into a drain, the hypohalite and peroxygen react to liberate oxygen gas. As foam generation occurs, the escaping gas contacts surfactant in the solution, and creates foam which expands to completely fill the drain pipe. The expanded foam contains an excess of the hypohalite, which acts to clean the drain. A method of cleaning drains is provided which comprises the step of pouring into a drain at least one liquid which generates foam in situ, the foam characterized by a density of at least about 0.1 g/ml, a half life of greater than about thirty minutes, a foam:liquid volume ratio of at least 1:1, and wherein the foam contains a cleaning-effective amount of a drain cleaning active.
