International Classification:

B65D 8557

US Classification:

206310

Abstract:

A package structure for a recording medium or other items is composed of a plastic support frame and a laminated flexible body. The package structure consists of a molded plastic frame having two sections forming the lid and the base of the package, separated by a hinge which allows the lid and base sections to fold together to close the package. In a preferred embodiment, the package body is formed of a folded paperboard blank. The plastic frame is slotted at opposite ends to allow the paperboard blank to extend through the frame from outside to inside. The blank is folded at the slots, and is folded onto itself to form the surfaces of the package. The frame is formed with recesses adapted to receive the body surfaces to protect the surfaces and the edges of the outer body surfaces. The portions of the body which respectively form the inner and outer surfaces of the lid, and the inner and outer surfaces of the base are secured together and/or to the corresponding frame section. A portion of the body overlies, but is not secured to the frame hinge so that the two move separately when the package opens and closes.

US Classification:

381 43

Abstract:

Present-day limitations of the conventional touch-tone keypad are overcome permitting alphabetic information to be entered into a distant computer. The caller speaks a speech portion into a telephone handset, and then types out the speech portion on the touch-tone keypad. The computer receiving the call converts the spoken voice information into a form suitable for additional digital processing, as by extracting speech-recognition features from the spoken information. The computer processes the typed numeric string into a list of all the possible combinations of characters it could represent. The extent of correlation between the features of the spoken speech portion and each of the combinations is determined, and the combination having the highest correlation is taken to be the speech portion entered by the user.
