The system includes a transcription server for receiving a signal having time-stamp information, a splitter, a merging utility, and a text output. A method for automatic merging of multiple time-stamped transcriptions comprises the following steps: transferring a signal having timestamp information encoded therein to a splitter which yields a mixed audio output having resultant corresponding audio channels, transferring the mixed audio output to a transcriber server which thereby yields one or more text outputs, and the text outputs being merged by a merging utility with the timestamps included in the signal thereby providing a single text file. | 11-11-2010 |

20080276097 | Alternate to email for messages of general interest - This invention is an online system to forward and discuss messages of common interest among members of the system. The system is based on a central server that manages all member accounts, messages and message flow among the members. The system introduces the concept of private comments on a public message. While the message is open to all members of the system, each comment on the message is restricted to be viewed only by members to whom the comment is sent to. This allows an email like interface to forward and discuss the same message among different groups of people. The system also provides metrics related to the overall reach and popularity of the message. | 11-06-2008 |
20100332961 | Automatic link publisher - This invention is an online system that shows many links to registered users and if the user presses one of modifier keys while clicking on a link, the system in addition to showing the contents of the link, automatically posts the link to the user's public profile. | 12-30-2010 |
20110113317 | Email with social attributes - This invention is an email system that replaces every URL, attachment and image in the email message with a short URL, where the original URL, attachment or image is publicly accessible through the short URL. The system further includes the short URL in the public profile associated with the email address of the sender and also publishes the most popular short URLs in the system. | 05-12-2011 |

20130328564 | NMR RF PROBE COIL EXHIBITING DOUBLE RESONANCE - The present invention describes NMR probe coils that are designed to operate at two different frequencies, producing a strong and homogenous magnetic field at both the frequencies. This single coil, placed close to the sample, provides a method to optimize the NMR detection sensitivity of two different channels. In addition, the present invention describes a coil that generates a magnetic field that is parallel to the substrate of the coil as opposed to perpendicular as seen in the prior art. The present invention isolates coils from each other even when placed in close proximity to each other. A method to reduce the presence of electric field within the sample region is also considered. Further, the invention describes a method to adjust the radio-frequency tuning and coupling of the NMR probe coils. | 12-12-2013 |
