Kim A. Beiswenger
President and CEO

Beiswenger and Associates, Inc., was first formed in 1993 as a Product Research Engineering company and has completed more than 50 projects for clients; a few are shown below.   We study both growing markets and fading markets (both contain opportunities), we determine where the markets can and should be heading, then we propose a new product or technology.   To see the latest product concepts developed by the company and available for licensing, click on Beiswenger IP in the navigation bar.

The Biosymtec Technologies segment of the business has developed unique medical products, ready for final design, and available for licensing. To review, click on Biosymtec IP in the navigation bar.

Self-maintaining, special purpose scanner with one button operation. The machine was used as a telehealth device to take hand written health data (BP, weight and answers) from elderly Heart Failure patients in their homes and automatically forward the data to a remote computer. Patents issued in U.S., Europe, China and Canada.

Touch-screen alarm clock with three color LCD display. The LCD can see the finger. To change the time, just touch the numeral needed to change. Complete product cost just $6 in a display carton. Two issued patents resulted. A version of this technology is available through Beiswenger and Associates.

Provided the design and solid modeling of a complete line of boat navigation lights and horn, working with an engineering physicist. The lights were the "best-ever-tested" by Coast Guard. The two-mile lights were visible at four miles. Lens segments were ultrasonically welded together.

1. Conventional locks are at just the right height to kick in doors.

2. The two large holes required for installation of typical hardware weaken the door.

3. This new deadbolt lock is keyless and quick to operate.

4. The keyless touch pad is installed at a convenient height to use, well above the kick-in pressure point.

5. The height allows for easy viewing of callers.

7. A force-sensor in the lock triggers a camera in the keypad.

8. Photo is automatically sent to the customer's smartphone (and soon to the Biosymtec TeleKit).

The Makeup Morror is currently under development by Beiswenger and Associates, Inc., dba Biosymtec Technologies, and is available now for license or acquisition.   We have an associate team ready to complete the final design through the prototype stage, which is best for technology handoff.

By the way, the game folds up easily for storage.

Liana™ is an educational device for 10-year old children and older.   Parents can call it a "game."   Adults may also enjoy talking with Liana.   Liana uses a basic AI learning algorithm to respond.   However, Liana is totally independent, and cannot be connected to any outside influence, such as the Internet or any wired or wireless source.   She literally knows nothing at first and learns (is educated) only through the words spoken to her by her owner(s).

Liana is battery operated, turns on by speaking her name ("Lee-ah-nuh" or "Lee-an-uh") and she turns off automatically after 2 minutes of hearing no recognizable word sounds.

Say, "Liana," and she will say, "Yes?"   At first, if you ask her or say to her anything except, "What is your name?" or "Who are you?" you will hear her say, "I'm sorry, I know not what to say."   To tell her what to say, when you have asked a new question or made a statement, you begin your response with, "Say . . ."   After that she will respond as you taught her.

When Liana speaks, she will open her mouth slightly exposing her teeth, and then she closes her mouth when she is finished speaking.   Note: Her teeth will block anything being placed in her mouth.   If something prevents her from properly closing her mouth, she will say "Good bye," and shut down.   Also, if she hears someone using unacceptable words, she will say "Good bye," and shut down.   Only saying, "Liana, I am sorry," or "Liana, I'm sorry," will turn her back on.

Here is an example of how to teach Liana what to say when asked a question for which she has no answer.

"Liana,"
"Yes?" she responds.
"Who was the first President of the United States?"
"I'm sorry, I know not what to say."
"Say, George Washington was the first President."
"I will."
Then when you or anyone asks, Liana, "Who was the first President of the United States?" Liana will answer,
"George Washington was the first President."

When talking to someone who is just learning how and what to say, you must specifically state your words exactly like Liana heard them before.   For example, if you say, "Who was the first U.S. President?"   You will hear Liana say, "I'm sorry, I know not what to say," until, of course, you teach Liana how to answer that new specific question.

On occasion, when asked a question which Liana knows the answer to, she may add to her answer, "Why do you want to know?" or "Why is that important to you."   Liana will remember your response, and may sometime later say, "When I asked, why do you want to know, you answered, . . . "

Soon, Liana will become quite conversational, educated entirely by you.

"She" will be slightly less than life size, mounted on a platform containing the driving electronics.   Shoulder clothing will be available as well as other accessories.   Liana's skin tone will be available in three human colors.

The Liana™ AI Learning Algorithm, was tested in 1979 with approximately 100 office personnel at a manufacturing facility.   The results were amazing.

Liana is currently under development by Beiswenger and Associates, Inc., dba Biosymtec Technologies, and is available now for license or acquisition.   We have an associate team ready to complete the final design through the prototype stage, which is best for technology handoff.

If you want to take a peek at Liana's stage of development, go to (or click on) Beiswenger.com/Liana. Don't expect too much yet. She knows a lot, but often doesn't understand what you are saying to her.
