How to activate Dictation & Speech with keyword

Hello,
In Yosemite command and control Speech functionality (found under Accessibility in Mavericks, and called Speakable Items) has been combined with Dictation & Speech control panel. I like what has been done mostly. However it's caused me a new challenge I'm not sure how to solve. Let me explain.
Since Snow Leopard I've used the command and control Speech functionality in OS X. It was very useful to me because I could invoke it by just prefixing the command I wanted executed with a keyword. For example I could say: Computer Apple Menu to open the Apple Menu, Computer Microphone On (to execute an AppleScript I wrote to turn the Dragon Dictate microphone on).
Executing custom commands is still possible in Dictation & Speech. What doesn't appear to be possible, or at least I can't find it, is a way to invoke the speech command using a keyword (i.e., hands-free). You apparently now have to do some sort of shortcut to activate Speech. That involves a keyboard or mouse action. I haven't found anywhere to use a custom keyword or phrase.
This is a problem for me because I am physically disabled. Paralyzed from the neck down. If I'm sitting in my wheelchair I could pick up my mouthstick and do one of the keyboard shortcuts. However, I don't always have access to my mouthstick. Sometimes I'm using my computer from bed by voice only. It appears with this new system without a keyword to invoke things, I'm out of luck.
If I have missed something, or you have an idea for a workaround, please let me know.
Thanks...

You have two options to consider: event-driven or polling. Event-driven programming sets up and enables a VISA event, such as receiving a termination character from your serial device. You could set up a VISA event and wait for your rs-232 device to send information to your computer. When the event fires, you could have LabVIEW decide what to "say," and then do so.
The polling option involves having LabVIEW constantly check the number of bytes at port using a property node with a VISA refnum wired to it. Upon receiving data in your serial buffer, you can begin executing the commands to respond to it as desired.

How to activate a valve with a switch ?

I am going to work on the automation of a miniature punch press using compressed air and also a pneumatic valve, I was wondering how I would be able to activate this mechanism with a switch?
Also, what would be the best method to activate this set up ?

Can you provide more information about the valve itself? For example, is it expecting an analog signal or a digital signal? If this is an analog setup, the valve would probably expect a DC value that represents a certain pressure. You would need a variable voltage source (a DAQ card for example) to provide the appropriate signal to the valve. A switch would most likely not be necessary. If the valve is expecting a digital signal, then you will need a DC power supply set to the digital high voltage (5V for example) and then use the switch to regulate the state of signal.

HT204053 HOW TO ACTIVATE ICLOUD LOCK WITH CHANGED PASSWORD AFTER RECOVERY

i have lost my iphone5 9 moths ago. recently i find my ihone5 but it is stucked in icloud lock mood. now a days i use that same icloud account for another iphone4s and i have changed the icloud password. i have changed the icloud password 2 month ago. i have also lost access in my hotmail account. in this case can i activate my iphone5 with current password or i have to get access to my email adddress. or what can i do now?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

How to activate a JButton with right-click?

If I create a JButton and add an ActionListener, I can activate the button with a mouse left-click but not with a mouse right-click.
I've looked at other posts related to this topic. Some people have said that the default is that either a left- or right-click will activate a JButton but I can't get this to happen.
If I add a MouseListener to the button, I get mouse events for both left and right clicks (in mousePressed() for instance) but only the left-click goes on to activate the JButton.
I'm using Java 1.4 with Windows 2000.
Thanks in advance for any help.
-Rick

I use Windows 98, that's what I get too. I'm pretty sure that's normal behavior. If you want right clicks to be processed as well, use this code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class BothClick extends JFrame implements MouseListener
    JButton clickMe;
    public BothClick()
        super("Test");
        setSize(300, 300);
        clickMe = new JButton("Click Me");
        getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        getContentPane().add(clickMe);
        clickMe.addMouseListener(this);
        setVisible(true);
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
        clickMe.doClick();
    public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {}
    public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {}
    public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {}
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {}
    public static void main(String[] args)
        new BothClick();
}

How to Activate Datastore loaded with Transformation.

Hi Gurus!
When I used update rules and infopackages to load an ODS (with activate data flagged) loaded records were automatically activated.
Now I'm starting to use transformations and when I load data to Datastores I have to manually activate loaded data.
Is there any way to activate automatically loaded data??
I found how to do it for cubes but not for Datastore objects...
Thank you.

No u cannot activate automatically on Netweaver 7.0 excepting only in Process Chains.
<b>Check out the below note</b>
Note 946572 - "Activate data automatically" option without result.
Symptom
While working with a DataStore object, you have activated the option "Activate data automatically". However, after a request is successfully loaded, the activation does not start automatically.
Reason and Prerequisites
The program logic has been changed.
In the case of NW2004s, the "Data Transfer Process" (DTP) was introduced as a new technology for loading data. Requests that were loaded via a DTP to a DataStore object are no longer automatically activated.
Solution
Use process chains to automate data activation.

How to activate iphone 4 with icloud

i dont have a sim card to activate phone, but i remember i activated my iphone last time with icloud but i forgot how to

No you cannot.
Even if you could activate an iPhone for cellular service with an email account, which is one of the dumbest things I have read here in a while and dumb statements are a dime a dozen around here, you darn sure can't activate a GSM phone without a SIM card.
Cellular activation with an iPhone DOES NOT and CANNOT occur with an iCloud account or with any email account.

How to activate / inactivate dataslice with a process chain ...

Hi,
we would like to activate and inactive a dataslice automatically for example by means of a process chain. Does anyone has experience with this ...
Reason is that we have a forecast version with actuals and plan combined (very different structure between plan and actual data) and we want to load actuals + initial budget in a forecast version, which is changed in IP afterwards. The unit rate calculation is difficult to be performed in the load mechanisme, but easy to calculate with FOX. Therefore after loading, we want to execute a planning sequence for which the dataslice needs to be temporary inactivated ...
Dries

Hi,
In the table UPC_DATASLICE, if the the value of the field INACTIVE is 'X' for the planning area and the data slice you are working on, it means that that particular data slice is inactive.
So create an exit FM to make the INACTIVE field value as 'X' for the dataslice and the planning area you want.
Call this exit FM in the process chain.
After ur processing is done, run another exit of same kind which reverts back these changes, which will activate the data slice again.

How to activate the GPU with Yosemite, iris pro on macBOOK ?

with after effect CS6 on macbook pro (under yosemite) with a iris pro from intel i can't activate the gpu render in the graphics options even i try with installing the latest Cuda and the way i found on video maze forum,have somebody experimate a solution?

Do not install CUDA software on a computer without CUDA (Nvidia) hardware. Doing so can be very damaging.
The GPU is almost entirely irrelevant to After Effects.
See this page for details of the few things that the GPU does with After Effects:
