Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080245142ENGINE POSITION TRACKING FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES - A method for determining engine crankshaft position determines the position of a rotating crankshaft using one or many crankshaft position sensors. The sensor output signals representing crankshaft position are digitized and specific timing positions are derived. The sampled timing positions are compared to a known position template to determine crankshaft position.10-09-2008

20090032065SYRINGE WASH STATION FOR ANALYTICAL APPLICATIONS - An apparatus and method that address carry-over and contamination resulting from incomplete washing/flushing of syringe surfaces routinely exposed to samples and/or reagents. Specifically, the apparatus and method provide for washing the interior of a syringe barrel as well as interior and exterior surfaces of a syringe needle.02-05-2009
20090158862SAMPLING PROBE, GRIPPER AND INTERFACE FOR LABORATORY SAMPLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS - A self-contained sampling probe characterized by a drive module and a syringe module removably coupled coaxially to the drive module to allow for different syringe modules to be interchangeably coupled to the drive module. The coupling is effected by quick connect and disconnect devices, and the syringe module may carry an identifier. The probe is engageable by a gripper or insertable in an interface device, both of which provide for communication of the probe with other system components. The probe has a dimension that is 8 mm or less in at least one projection coincident with an aspirate/dispense axis of the probe06-25-2009

20110299523Correlating Information Between Internet and Call Center Environments - Coordination of information at the network-based level between call centers connectable over a telecommunications network, such as a telephone network, and a packet network, creates improved integration of and bonding between a customer's interaction with a Web site and with a call center. Information about the customer and the customer's Web interaction are delivered to the call center agent along with the call, leading to increased productivity and efficiency in call handling and improved call routing. Calls may be routed to existing call centers based upon information from the Web experience, and information from the user's Web interaction is shared with the call center. Web interaction information is passed to existing call centers using known call center external control methods, such as DNIS signaling. Information about the Web experience may also be “whispered” to the call center agent, and an agent may “push” Web pages for review by the customer.12-08-2011
