United States Patent 4,877,027 Brunkan October 31, 1989
Hearing System
Abstract-Sound is induced in the head of a person by radiating the head with microwaves in the range of 100 megahertz to 10,000 megahertz that are modulated with a particular waveform. The waveform consists of frequency modulated bursts. Each burst is made up of ten to twenty uniformly spaced pulses grouped tightly together. The burst width is between 500 nanoseconds and 100 microseconds. The pulse width is in the range of 10 nanoseconds to 1 microsecond. The bursts are frequency modulated by the audio input to create the sensation of hearing in the person whose head is irradiated.

At first Layla had appeared at the court appearances without a lawyer assuming the entire matter of her involving Denny in worshipping anything other than any supreme being that did not involve" brain scanning" technology and the subsequent judging of "soul" based upon such 'Brain Map" by various algorithms created for such purposes was something of a joke.

But the various judges did not think so. Ordering a temporary stay on the topic of Denny's religious upbringing until Layla ,sarcastically thought , that science based ideology was introduced into various new laws based on such "reforms' .The judge decided to make a deal concerning Denny Pace's religious upbringing ; that so long as Patrick Pace did not take his son take any Neuronautics meetings for "spiritual "guidance and Layla not take Denny to any church for the time being the matter would be dropped. Layla ,while not a dyed in the wool Catholic did believe that a little organized assembly to inspire a one to think about something unseen that might be 'up there' or "down here' or both was not such a damaging activity and a risk Layla decided to take that Easter

It was a risk that turned out to be not worth the risk at all.

That Easter was 2 years after Layla had taken her autistic son Denny to the TruGenic Rational Laboratory to have her son "app-ed' with neural prosthetics -to be cured by Tele-Presence .

It was on the Easter day ,inside the church that Layla realized with a doubt that whatever "presence Denny was tethered to as to help him through Brain Computer Interface to "emerge" from his autistic state was not what she had been sold .

Inside the church Denny, Layla thought, had seemed fine ,he did not sing along or appear to follow the sermons or prayers but neither did he fidget or squirm as he previously had before being "app-ed' . it was not until Layla saw Denny ,who had obviously brought along a big black marker with him crossing out words in the hymnal . Not all the words Layla noticed .Only the words "God" and "Jesus

Not wanting to draw attention to herself or her son Layla whispered in Denny's ear that she had heard an Ice Cream truck outside the church .

Denny placed the cap on his marker and left the church mid service with his mother.

After a small tantrum was had in the church parking lot concerning no such Ice Cream Truck Layla drove Denny to the nearest dinner to get what she had promised him. Once the dessert was served Layla calmly asked Denny why he had done what he had done to the hymnal only to see Denny shake his head back and forth and put a finger to his lips ," You said I can never talk about why"
