System and method of controlling sound in a multi-media communication application
ActiveUS6963839B1Increase volumeIncrease effectivenessSpecial data processing applicationsSpeech synthesisText messageSpeech sound
A method for customizing a voice in a multi-media message created by a sender for a recipient is disclosed. The multi-media message comprises a text message from the sender to be delivered by an animated entity. The method comprises presenting an option to the sender to insert voice emoticons into the text message associated with parameters of a voice used by the animated entity to deliver the text message. The message is then delivered wherein the voice of the animated entity is modified throughout the message according to the voice emoticons. The voice emoticons may relate to features such as voice stress, volume, pauses, emotion, yelling, or whispering. After the sender inserts various voice emoticons into the text of the message, the animated entity delivers the multi-media message giving effect to each voice emoticon in the text. A volume or intensity of the voice emoticons may be given effect by repeating the tags. In this case, delivering the multi-media message further comprises delivering the multi-media message at a variable level associated with the number of times a respective voice emoticon is repeated. In this manner, the sender may control the presentation of the message to increase the overall effectiveness of the multi-media message.

ASD closure device with self centering arm network
InactiveUS20050065547A1Reduce chanceIncrease effectivenessSurgical veterinaryWound clampsEngineering
The present invention provides an occluder with a self centering system that keeps the occluder properly centered in a defect which allows the center of the occluder to remain properly positioned within the defect so that the left and right sides cover the entire defect which reduces the chance of blood shunting through the defect and increases the effectiveness of the occluder. The self centering system is comprised of a series of arms that provide tension to hold the right and left sides in place. The arms are shaped to provide a flexible intermediate zone comprising a left and a right conical shaped network, wherein each network extends from the right and left sides and narrows at the center section. The flexible intermediate zone centers the occluder and helps to hold it in place.
