	Encyclopedia: Speech
		Speech can be described as an act of producing voice through the use of the vocal cords or other means, such as sign language, to create linguistic acts in the form of language that communicate information from an initiator to a recipient.
		The success of a speech act depends on numerous factors, including the presence or absence of a variety of speech disorders, the ability of the speaker to express the intended message, and the ability and willingness of the audience to play the role of recipient.
		Stuttering (commonly known as stammering in the UK and scientifically known as dysphemia) is a speech disorder in which the normal flow of speech is frequently disrupted by repetitions (sounds, syllables, words or phrases), pauses and prolongations that differ both in frequency and severity from those of normally fluent individuals.

	Method and apparatus for imitating speech characteristics of vox humana and similar reed organ pipes - Patent 4079653
		However, because the natural speech characteristics of a reed, due to its mechanical construction and the nature of its operation, are not the same as the speech characteristics of the orchestral instruments they are intended to simulate, it has not been possible to make reeds sound exactly like orchestral voices.
		Organ reeds nonetheless have a certain quality and charm that cannot be duplicated by orchestral instruments, and it is the object of the present invention to provide an electronic organ that simulates the unique characteristics of that class of reed organ pipes that includes Kinura, Musette, Krummet and Vox Humana.
		While the resonators of most reed organ pipes are scaled so as to approximately one-half of the wavelength of the sound of the note to be produced, the interesting tone qualities of Kinura and Vox Humana pipes are achieved by using the illustrated shortlength resonators.

	OPTN: Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network
		For certain organs, other factors are vital, including the medical urgency of the recipient, the degree of immune system match between donor and recipient, and whether the recipient is a child or an adult.
		The OPTN is involved with the transplantation of "solid" or vascularized organs and is not directly involved with stem cell or cord blood transplants.
		Organ allocation policies are developed by the OPTN and considered for final approval by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under federal regulation governing the OPTN.

		Human speech is produced by the vocal cords in the larynx, the trachea, the nasal cavity, the oral cavity, the tongue, and the lips.
		Phonemes are the smallest units of speech that distinguish one utterance from another in a particular language.[2] An allophone is an acoustic manifestation of a phoneme.
		For speech, the time window is typically between 5 milliseconds and 25 milliseconds, and the pitch frequency of voiced sounds varies from 80 Hz to 280 Hz.

	International Congress on Organ Transplants
		Accordingly, any procedure which tends to commercialize human organs or to consider them as items of exchange or trade must be considered morally unacceptable, because to use the body as an "object" is to violate the dignity of the human person.
		Acknowledgement of the unique dignity of the human person has a further underlying consequence: vital organs which occur singly in the body can be removed only after death, that is from the body of someone who is certainly dead.
		I am thinking in particular of attempts at human cloning with a view to obtaining organs for transplants: these techniques, insofar as they involve the manipulation and destruction of human embryos, are not morally acceptable, even when their proposed goal is good in itself.
