TL;DR: In this paper, a first means for entering characters coupled to the device for generating a second character input data, where the second means (1906) includes a system for monitoring a user's voice.
Abstract: An electronic device (1904) includes a first means (1911) for entering characters coupled to the device for generating a second character input data, where the second means (1906) for entering characters includes a system for monitoring a user's voice. A display (1905) displays the character thereon. A processor (not shown) is coupled to the first (1911) and second means (1906) for entering characters configured to receive the first and second character input data such that the characters displayed on the display (1905) corresponds to both the first and second character input data.

TL;DR: It is fashionable still to call this material 'fibrinoid' but the new methods for demonstrating fibrin described below all give a sharp, contrasty snining reaction with this material, a finding which encourages us to abjure this melodious but misleading term.
Abstract: There are few satisfactory staining methods for fibrin. There are even fewer clear definitions of the material for which these methods are commended. In sections of tissue the older pathologists recognized three phenomena to which they gave the name fibrin. These were: (a) The networks and more solid masses within blood vessels that formed a large part of the substance of what had been seen with the naked eye as a thrombus; (b) the extravascular networks ofsomewhat comparable structure associated with acute inflammation and seen in the interstitial tissue, in the arachnoid space, or in pneumonic alveoli; and (c) the more solid and plaque-like masses occurring on serous surfaces. When observations came to be made on the hyaline eosinophilic fibrin-like material found to be present in pathological processes other than simple coagulation and the pyogenic lesions, the names given to it were curiously varied. It is a measure of this vagueness that in tissues from rheumatic disease of the heart the eosinophilic deposit on the epicardial surface was called 'fibrin', a comparable deposit in the superficial layers of the mitral valve was called 'platelets', and the eosinophilic and slightly refractile network of the reticular Aschoff body was called 'fibrinoid'. Within recent years, almost contemporaneously with the falling incidence of acute pyogenic inflammation, there has been an increasing recognition and experience of this fibrin-like material which, with the classical methods for staining fibrin, gives varied degrees of positiveness; typical examples are the intra-alveolar networks in the lungs of subjects with uraemia or cardiac failure, and the deposits of hyaline materials within the walls of blood vessels ('fibrinous vasculosis', Lendrum, 1955, 1956) as seen in systemic and pulmonary hypertension, in areas of infarction, and in the diseases which for want of more exact knowledge we group under the term 'sensitization'. It is fashionable still to call this material 'fibrinoid' but the new methods for demonstrating fibrin described below all give a sharp, contrasty snining reaction with this material, a finding which encourages us to abjure this melodious but misleading term. The fact of identical staining reaction on these

TL;DR: Rousseau's education project consists in respecting the natural evolution of the person, her physical, intellectual and moral developments to make of her a natural person able to live in society as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Through an imaginary character, Emile, Rousseau explains his theories on education. His educational project consists in respecting the natural evolution of the person, her physical, intellectual and moral developments to make of her a natural person able to live in society. More than a treatise on education, it is a treatise about human kind.
