摘要： A method of supporting vocabulary and language learning by positioning at least one microphone so as to capture speech in the listening environment of a learner. The microphone is monitored to develop a speech signal. The speech signal is analyzed to determine at least one characteristic of the speech or vocalization, wherein the characteristic indicates a qualitative or quantitative feature of the speech. The determined characteristic is compared to a preselected standard or such characteristic is tracked to show growth over time and the comparison or growth is reported to the person associated with the speech signal or person who potentially can affect the language environment of the learner.

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for use with a battery powered inverter for powering a load through a ferroresonant transformer. The current flow through the inverter-ferroresorant transformer is sensed and is utilized to modulate the inverter's pulse width at a point, after a peak voltage but before saturation begins, when the slope of the inverter-ferroresonant transformer current with respect to time is at or near zero. A maximum current limiting feature can be provided in the method and apparatus of the present invention.
