20130030807 | WIRELESS SPEECH RECOGNITION TOOL - The wireless voice recognition system for data retrieval comprises a server, a database and an input/output device, operably connected to the server. When the user speaks, the voice transmission is converted into a data stream using a specialized user interface. The input/output device and the server exchange the data stream. The server uses a programming interface having an engine to match and compare the stream of audible data to a data element of selected searchable information. A data element of recognized information is generated and transferred to the input/output device for user verification. | 01-31-2013 |

20130073294 | Voice Controlled Wireless Communication Device System - A wireless communication device that accepts recorded audio data from an end-user. The audio data can be in the form of a command requesting user action. The audio data is reduced to a digital file in a format that is supported by the device hardware. The digital file is sent via wireless communication to at least one server computer for further processing. The command includes a unique device identifier that identifies the wireless communication device. The server computer determines required additional processing for the command based on the unique device identifier. The server computer constructs an application command based on the processed command, and transmits the application command to the wireless communication device. The application command includes at least one instruction that causes a corresponding application on the wireless communication device to execute the application command. | 03-21-2013 |

20150210152 | ONBOARD GENERATOR DRIVE SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES - An electric vehicle utilizes an internal combustion engine to drive the vehicle's main electric drive system in the regeneration mode and to charge the battery when the vehicle is stopped. The electric vehicle's main drive controller and motor are used as the generator to recharge the battery when the vehicle is stopped via a clutch mechanism allowing the motor to act as a generator while the vehicle is at rest. As the vehicle proceeds throughout the drive cycle, the vehicle is powered by the electric motor from the battery. The battery is recharged to a specified state of charge when the vehicle is parked. The internal combustion engine only operates to charge the battery, and the electric motor is used to propel the vehicle. | 07-30-2015 |
