1. A hand held unitary medical prescription transcriber and printer unit comprising:
- structure of a size to be conveniently held in a user'"'"'s hand, said structure including—
a voice responsive input device which converts the user'"'"'s spoken word acoustic inputs into analog signals, a converter operable to convert said analog signals into corresponding outputted digital signals, a database of medical prescription information stored in digital format, a formatting module operable to match only outputted digital signals from the converter with corresponding prescription digital data stored in the database to automatically format the matched digital signals into a form representative of a medical prescription, and an integral printer operable to receive the formatted digital signals and to print out the formatted digital signals as readable hard copy directly from the unit.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for interfacing networks based on different protocols via a translator listing. The gateway of a first network is provided with an application comprising several processes, each of which scans the status information of a second network. In order to substantially reduce the time required to establish a connection and relieve the network, the status information scanned by one process is transferred to a common storage area which is accessible to all processes belonging to the same application and is located on the first gateway.

16. A process for preparing a printed copy of a medical prescription using a hand held transcriber and printer unit, said process comprising:
-
providing a voice responsive input device which converts the user'"'"'s spoken word acoustic inputs into analog signals;
converting said analog signals into corresponding digital signals;
providing a database of medical prescription information stored in digital format;
matching only the digital signals with corresponding digital data stored in the database to automatically format the matched digital data into a form representative of a medical prescription; and
printing out a readable hard copy of the prescription information directly from the unit. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A hand held unitary medical prescription transcriber and printer unit comprising:
-
a voice responsive input device which coverts a user'"'"'s spoken word acoustic inputs into analog signals;
a converter operable to convert the analog signals into corresponding outputted digital signals;
a formatting module operable to automatically format the outputted digital signals into a form representative of a prescription by searching the outputted digital signals to identify prescription information; and
an integral printer operable to print out the formatted digital signals as readable hard copy directly from the unit. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30)
