20150069258 | DIFFERENTIAL EXCITATION SPECTROSCOPY - A new technique which uses a pump-probe methodology to place a molecule into one or more excited rotational and/or vibrational states. By evaluating spectral changes due to at least one discrete frequency of pump photons a multi-dimensional characterization of the molecule's excited state energy level results. This multi-dimensional characterization typically involves evaluating the changes between excited and unexcited state measurements. The differential nature of the evaluation makes the technique self-referencing and solves problems common to many spectroscopic techniques. The multi-dimensionality of the technique provides high specificity and immunity to interferents. The preferred embodiments involve excitation by using photons suited to pumping the rotational states and evaluating the effects by probing the energy levels of one of more vibrational states. The technique is capable of detecting bulk and trace concentrations of a molecule in gas, liquid and solid phases, both in pure form and in the presence of other molecules. | 03-12-2015 |

20100227595 | System and method for automatically leaving an outgoing caller message - Provided is a system and method for automatically leaving an Outgoing Caller Message (OCM) at a callee's (i.e. called) recording system. When a caller is provided with an opportunity to leave a message for a callee (i.e. called), the caller can select to have a preconfigured message automatically presented for being recorded. If a caller reaches an OutGoing Message (OGM) from a callee's system because the callee does not answer, the caller can opt to automatically leave an OCM instead of spending time listening to the OGM and then leaving a message. An OCM background thread of processing is started for taking over the active call, and the initial active call processing thread terminates for releasing user interface focus so the caller is free to perform any other application processing while background OCM processes occurs. The OCM background thread determines the best OCM to leave and then automatically leaves the OCM at the callee's system before terminating the call. The OCM background thread may also wait for recognizing a recording prompt. Similarly, at the callee's recording system, an OGM is background thread of processing handles an unanswered incoming call and determines the best OGM to provide to a caller. The OGM background thread enables a user to perform any other application processing while background OGM processing occurs. | 09-09-2010 |
