A communication apparatus determines whether to stop data reception during interpretation of the data according to a situation.

Embodiments relate to a circuitry for digital data communication. The circuitry includes an inverter circuit connected between an input node and an output node. The inverter circuit has core circuits each of which includes a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistor of a first type and a CMOS transistor of a second type having a first common gate node connected to the input node and a first common drain node connected to the output node. The circuitry further includes another inverter circuit of a switching threshold voltage different than that of the inverter circuit and connected between the input node and the output node. The other inverter circuit has core circuits each of which includes a CMOS transistor of a third type and a CMOS transistor of a fourth type having a second common gate node connected to the input node and a second common drain node connected to the output node.

A system for providing patients with dementia or other cognitive impairment with instructions and reminders of tasks to enable them to live with minimum third party oversight. The system provides for a continuous display of viewable indicia of at least one of text or images to provide the patient messages. The messages may be generated by a remote third party or software running on a computer. Employing the system, a remote user such as the child of a patient can provide instruction and reminders to the patient allowing them to live with minimal supervision.
