20050229185, Oct 13, 2005

Filed:

Feb 20, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/783832

Inventors:

Daniel Stoops - Galena OH, US
Jeffrey Webb - Gahanna OH, US

International Classification:

G06F011/30

US Classification:

719315000

Abstract:

A root grammar is provided to facilitate navigation between speech centric applications in a communications network. The root grammar may be constructed from the application grammars of the supported applications. During recognition processing, the root grammar may be combined with a current application's active grammar to produce a composite grammar. Audio communications recognized as part of the composite grammar may be used to service the current application, to navigate between applications, and/or to access different parts or documents of applications directly without navigating through intervening levels. In particular, from a user's perspective, another application or document referenced by the root grammar may be accessed directly, as opposed to employing a lengthier navigation process.

Abstract:

An apparatus for carrying by a diver while under water (and at the surface between dives) provides information useful for enabling the diver to ascend therefrom both expeditiously and safely in order to avoid decompression sickness. A corrosion-resistant ceramic transducer (60) provides an electrical capacitance responsive to the pressure of the water thereon, in an electronic circuit (52), comprising also a resistance (61), for providing a signal (at 53) responsive to the time constant therein and substantially unaffected by normally encountered variations in supply voltage. Electronic data processing means (40-51), responsive to the signal, computes the water pressure, the depth of the transducer (60) in the water, the minimum depth to which the diver can from there ascend safely, the minimum time within which the diver then can ascend safely to the surface of the water, and the elapsed time since the beginning of the dive. Displays (48, 49) provide indications to the diver of the computed values.
