20090216540 | Open Architecture For A Voice User Interface - A system and method for processing voice requests from a user for accessing information on a computerized network and delivering information from a script server and an audio server in the network in audio format. A voice user interface subsystem includes: a dialog engine that is operable to interpret requests from users from the user input, communicate the requests to the script server and the audio server, and receive information from the script server and the audio server; a media telephony services (MTS) server, wherein the MTS server is operable to receive user input via a telephony system, and to transfer the user input to the dialog engine; and a broker coupled between the dialog engine and the MTS server. The broker establishes a session between the MTS server and the dialog engine and controls telephony functions with the telephony system. | 08-27-2009 |

20130006599 | Information Handling System Battery Emulation Testing System And Method - Information handling systems are tested for proper interaction with integrated batteries by simulating a battery connection at a battery port of the information handling system. A battery connector couples to the battery port and communicates through cables with a management bus, a programmable power source and a programmable load. The management bus supports communication with a battery management unit that imitates responses for the information handling system that are expected from a battery. A battery emulator controls the programmable power source and load to provide the information handling system with an expected battery response for confirming proper operation of the information handling system power subsystem without requiring insertion of an actual battery. | 01-03-2013 |
