20100233662 | METHOD FOR TREATING AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS - A therapeutic method for developing the ability of subjects with autism spectrum disorders to produce and perceive spoken language, including sequentially modeling a set of words, the speaking of which involves making a first and a second articulatory gesture, as pictures corresponding to such words are displayed, in order to induce the subject to attempt to say the modeled words, until the subject is able to produce the constrictions of the oral-pharyngeal cavity associated with both of said articulatory gestures of the words together with vibration of the vocal folds, and the subject is able to produce such words intelligibly. The subject's ability is incrementally expanded using sets of words involving the making of other articulatory gestures until the subject is able to intelligibly produce words involving substantially all of the articulatory gestures used in the language of interest. Positive visual reinforcement is given to the subject for each word that the subject is able to produce intelligibly. For subjects having a level of intelligibility, the ability to produce generative speech is developed, first by displaying a set of pictures depicting actions corresponding to verbs, the speaking of which involves making a first articulatory gesture and modeling or phonetically facilitating the verb corresponding to each of said pictures until the subject is able to produce the verbs. Positive feedback is provided to the subject each time the subject says verb corresponding to one of said displayed pictures by animating said picture to produce the action corresponding to the verb. The subject's ability is expanded using sets of verbs involving the making of other articulatory gestures and further expanded using phrases containing such verbs with the display of corresponding pictures. In the next stage of the method the subject's ability to produce generative language is further expanded with the use of stories. The subject's progress is monitored by uploading and analyzing data including speech samples. | 09-16-2010 |

20140062306 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DETERMINING EFFECTIVE GLOW DISCHARGE LAMP CURRENT - The embodiments of the invention include a method for controlling plasma conditions of a glow discharge system using the integrated electron (or ion) pulse area extracted from the total lamp current. The method of using an integrated electron/ion pulse area for controlling plasma conditions allows for controlled analysis of conductive, non-conductive and layered materials without the need for estimation of plasma voltages. The method allows for control of sputter rates and plasma emissions that cannot be achieved using other methods such as capacitive divider calculations where actual thicknesses and dielectric constants are not known or predefined. | 03-06-2014 |

20080251954 | Strip diffuser - Membrane strip diffusers are disclosed, useful for example in aerating wastewater in activated sludge plants. These diffusers have membranes, diffuser bodies comprising gas conduits and, in addition to the conduits, integral membrane supports elongated in the same general direction. Such conduits are for example co-extruded with the diffuser bodies. The supports are apertured to discharge gas into chambers formed beneath the membranes when they inflate, and the membranes have pores to discharge the gas. Ways to edge- and end-seal the membranes to the diffuser bodies and ways to support the diffusers are also disclosed. | 10-16-2008 |
20120206993 | VENTURI DEVICE AND METHOD - An improved venturi device for facilitating the mixture of fluid substances, such as wine and air. The device may be combined with a dispensing valve to further promote functionality. The improved venturi device is especially effective in drawing a second fluid into the primary flow of a first fluid, and when combined with a dispensing valve it obviates the need for a venturi independent from a valve to accomplish mixing at low flows and low liquid head pressure. | 08-16-2012 |
