International Classification:

G08B 310

US Classification:

3403847, 3403841, 206217

Abstract:

A closure for a bottle. The closure includes an outer cap. An audio device and a triggering mechanism are positioned within the outer cap. A water block is positioned on the outer cap so as to prevent water from penetrating into the audio device.

Appl. No.:

11/031955

Inventors:

Jordan Cohen - Gloucester MA, US
William Barton - Harvard MA, US
John Ploumis - Brockton MA, US
Douglas J. Ely - North Andover MA, US

Assignee:

International Classification:

G06F 11/00
G06F 21/00

US Classification:

704270, 704231, 704243

Abstract:

A method and a system for testing a voice enabled application on a target device, the method including conducting one or more interactions with the target device, at least some of the interactions including presenting an acoustic utterance in an acoustic environment to the target device, receiving an output of the target device in response to the acoustic utterance, and comparing the output to an output expected from the acoustic utterance.

International Classification:

A61B 18/18

US Classification:

606 9, 606 10, 606 13, 606 17, 607 88, 607 89

Abstract:

Switching power supplies made in accordance with the disclosed technology drive flash lamps of dermatologic treatment devices to emit a sequence of relatively small light pulses that are aligned with particular locations within the waveform of the AC line source. Such power supplies not only enable sufficient light energy in aggregate to therapeutically heat target chromophores in a skin region without causing undesired damage to surrounding tissue, but also provide the added benefit that the corresponding electrical energy need not be substantially drawn from any charged capacitor. The disclosed power supply further compensates for performance degradation of the flash lamps during their usable life, by modifying its operation based on predetermined values that are indicative of flash lamp aging/efficiency characteristics. The flash lamps and their associated stored values are preferably incorporated into a replaceable cartridge that facilitates user maintenance of the dermatologic treatment device.
