Analog voicing detector responds to pitch
Modified electronic voice encoder /Vocoder/ includes an independent analog mode of operation in addition to the conventional digital mode. The Vocoder is a bandwidth compression equipment that permits voice transmission over channels, having only a fraction of the bandwidth required for conventional telephone-quality speech transmission
The road to Prest v Petrodel: an analysis of the UK judicial approach to The Corporate Veil - part 1
This article examines the common law approach to the doctrine of separate legal personality in UK Corporate Law, its origin, development and the challenges encountered by judges in the interpretation and application of this doctrine. The article also analyses the grounds/circumstances upon which this doctrine may be disregarded by the judges to ālift/pierceā the corporate veil. The article then analyses the judicial interpretative approaches to dichotomies and metaphors, such as āconcealment/evasionā and āshame/faƧadeā et cetera. The conclusion explores whether the UKSC decision in Prest v Petrodel Resources Ltd has, indeed, provided much needed clarity in the common law approach to the corporate veil
The road to Prest v Petrodel: an analysis of the UK judicial approach to the corporate veil - part 2: post Prest
This article examines the judicial approach to the corporate veil post-Prest v Petrodel Resources Ltd. Analysis is undertaken of the judgment in Prest and of how judges have adapted and applied this judgment in subsequent cases. The article offers an evaluation on whether the judgment in Prest, has indeed, provided much needed clarity on the judicial approach to the concealment/evasion principles as grounds for veil-piercing/lifting. The article concludes by advocating for a return to the use of the doctrine of judicial discretion as a tool for addressing legal matters relating to the corporate veil of incorporation

Official Knowledge: Validation Mechanisms for Knowledge Management Systems
One of the most important roles of a knowledge management system is as a filter to verify, authenticate, or justify the knowledge of an organization. The knowledge that passes this filter and is retained or otherwise deemed valuable by the system is official knowledge, the knowledge sanctioned by an organization. In this study, twenty-two articles that describe typologies of knowledge management systems were reviewed for their insights into knowledge validation. The articles were reviewed in the context of intellectual parentage with each article belonging to one of ten lines of inquiry spawning from five preeminent knowledge management articles. The results of this metastudy identify epistemology, knowledge transfer, the application environment, and the social process of sensemaking as valuable considerations for the design of validation mechanisms. A checklist of these considerations serves as the primary contribution of this study. Implications for future work in the design of validation mechanisms for knowledge management systems are discussed
