Of course, knowing Fraunhofer/Thomson, I'm probably infringing on their intellectual property by simply talking talking..... I mean, using my method or apparatus for generaing air pressure in the lungs of a human or animal, pushing said air across a "vocal chord device" (see USPTO#611263362881846) producing vibrations in the air of controlable frequency and waveform, and method of communicating via aforementioned instrument, and method or apparatus of interception of said waveforms by an "ear" device (patent pending), which translates vibrations in the air into electrical impulses.
