| 20080302237 | Method And Apparatus For Concentrating Vapors For Analysis - A pre-concentration device and a method are disclosed for concentrating gaseous vapors for analysis. Vapors sorbed and concentrated within the bed of the pre-concentration device are thermally desorbed, achieving at least partial separation of the vapor mixtures. The pre-concentration device is suitable, e.g., for pre-concentration and sample injection, and provides greater resolution of peaks for vapors within vapor mixtures, yielding detection levels that are 10-10,000 times better than direct sampling and analysis systems. Features are particularly useful for continuous unattended monitoring applications. The invention finds application in conjunction with, e.g., analytical instruments where low detection limits for gaseous vapors are desirable. | 12-11-2008 |

| 20090065354 | SPUTTERING TARGETS COMPRISING A NOVEL MANUFACTURING DESIGN, METHODS OF PRODUCTION AND USES THEREOF - A sputtering target is described herein, which includes: a) a surface material, and b) a core material coupled to the surface material, wherein at least one of the surface material or the core material has less than 100 ppm defect volume. Methods for producing sputtering targets are described that include: a) providing at least one sputtering target material, b) melting the at least one sputtering target material to provide a molten material, c) degassing the molten material, d) pouring the molten material into a target mold. In some embodiments, pouring the molten material into a target mold comprises under-pouring or under-skimming the molten material from the crucible into the target mold. Sputtering targets and related apparatus formed by and utilizing these methods are also described herein. In addition, uses of these sputtering targets are described herein. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20090150156 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A NATURAL LANGUAGE VOICE USER INTERFACE IN AN INTEGRATED VOICE NAVIGATION SERVICES ENVIRONMENT - A conversational, natural language voice user interface may provide an integrated voice navigation services environment. The voice user interface may enable a user to make natural language requests relating to various navigation services, and further, may interact with the user in a cooperative, conversational dialogue to resolve the requests. Through dynamic awareness of context, available sources of information, domain knowledge, user behavior and preferences, and external systems and devices, among other things, the voice user interface may provide an integrated environment in which the user can speak conversationally, using natural language, to issue queries, commands, or other requests relating to the navigation services provided in the environment. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20100217604 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING MULTI-MODAL DEVICE INTERACTIONS IN A NATURAL LANGUAGE VOICE SERVICES ENVIRONMENT - A system and method for processing multi-modal device interactions in a natural language voice services environment may be provided. In particular, one or more multi-modal device interactions may be received in a natural language voice services environment that includes one or more electronic devices. The multi-modal device interactions may include a non-voice interaction with at least one of the electronic devices or an application associated therewith, and may further include a natural language utterance relating to the non-voice interaction. Context relating to the non-voice interaction and the natural language utterance may be extracted and combined to determine an intent of the multi-modal device interaction, and a request may then be routed to one or more of the electronic devices based on the determined intent of the multi-modal device interaction. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20110086610 | DYNAMIC USAGE INEQUITY DETECTION AND/OR REMEDY - The described subject matter relates to an architecture that can dynamically detect and/or automatically remedy service usage inequities in a communications network. In particular, based upon a comparison of incoming call detail records (CDRs) to various subscriber information (e.g., service plan, blacklisted devices for the service plan, historic or current billing cycle usage, etc.), the architecture can identify when a usage inequity occurs or is likely to occur, substantially in real time. | 04-14-2011 |
