Granted: 2012-02-07
Abstract: L'invention concerne un instrument chirurgical principalement destiné à être utilisé dans la chirurgie plastique endoscopique, et conçu pour être inséré dans une incision pour pénétrer ensuite dans le tissu sous-cutané, la graisse, le fascia ou un muscle (STFFM) par une incision à accès éloignée, pour tenir le STFFM et pour permettre son déplacement vers un autre endroit. Le STFFM est tenu de préférence par une aiguille dans laquelle un fil a été passé, ledit fil étant bloqué par insertion de celui-ci dans un crochet, et ce, dans un site situé à l'intérieur de la peau, à distance de l'ouverture. Il est ainsi possible de déplacer le STFFM dans n'importe quelle direction, mais le plus souvent vers l'incision alors que la partie insérée de l'instrument est enlevée. Un clamp à vide externe est prévu, pour faciliter l'engagement dans la partie du STFFM à suturer. L'instrument peut être utilisé pour la chirurgie de rajeunissement facial, la chirurgie médiofaciale, la chirurgie des sourcils, l'étirement du menton, la réduction de la tonsure, la mastopexie endoscopique, le lifting de cuisse endoscopique, la lipectomie endoscopique, et pour toute autre technique pour laquelle on souhaite déplacer le STFFM d'un endroit vers un autre, comme par exemple, dans la correction de résultats de liposuccion indésirables.

Abstract: 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 text to be converted into a text file. The audio data is reduced to a digital voice file in a format that is supported by the device hardware, such as a.wav,.mp3,.vnf file, or the like.  The digital voice 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. Alternatively, if the confidence of the speech recognition is lower, the recorded audio data file is routed to a human transcriber employed by the telecommunications service, who manually reviews the digital voice file and builds the application command or text file. Once the application command is created, it is transmitted to the communication device. As a result of the present invention, speech recognition in the context of a communications devices has been shown to be accurate over 90% of the time.
