  • Publication number: 20150350428
    Abstract: A method and system for pushing web pages to a web client during a video/audio call. The method involves assigning a correlation ID to a web client to which a web page is served. The same correlation ID value is communicated by the web client to a VIVR/context web server computer. The VIVR/context web server computer is arranged to serve at least one web page to the web client. A voice/video call is established between the web client and a contact center agent computer responsive to a request from the web client. As part of initiating such call, the correlation ID is communicated to the contact center agent computer. Thereafter, during the voice/video call, at least one command is generated which causes the VIVR web server to serve at least one web page to the web client using the correlation ID.

  • Publication number: 20150350446
    Abstract: A method and system for load balancing and sharing of context information in a multi-vendor and/or multi-contact center environment. The arrangements utilize a generic client-side API in conjunction with a set of back end-frameworks to facilitate support of disparate contact center solutions. Accordingly a single client side application can be used to support multiple vendor contact center solutions. Further, the system enables an enterprise to leverage an instance of a visual IVR server, which works in conjunction with a contact center that supports such visual IVR server, so that it can also be used with contact center solutions that do not provide direct access to IVR scripts. The system also facilitates use of agent availability statistics to intelligently route customer calls to the most available agent across multiple vendor solutions or where instances of a single vendor solution are deployed in different data centers.

  • Patent number: 8694148
    Abstract: A method and system increase processed specimen yield in the laser processing of target material that includes multiple specimens formed on a common substrate. Preferred embodiments implement a feature that enables storage in the laser processing system a list of defective specimens that have somehow been subject to error during laser processing. Once the common substrate has been completely processed, the system alerts an operator to the number of improperly processed specimens and gives the operator an opportunity to run a software routine, which in a preferred embodiment uses a laser to scribe a mark on the top surface of each improperly processed specimen.

  • Publication number: 20130057390
    Abstract: A portable RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag includes one or more sensors. Each sensor measures a condition of an environment within which the RFID tag is disposed. Circuitry obtains data from measurements provided by each sensor. A transceiver modulates a radio frequency (RF) signal carrying the obtained data. An antenna, electrically coupled to the transceiver, transmits the RF signal. The circuitry, transceiver, and antenna are potted in their entirety in a thermosetting plastic epoxy for purposes of enduring extreme environmental conditions. The one or more sensors can include a temperature probe. A portion of this temperature probe can serve as the antenna.

  • Patent number: 7345448
    Abstract: Preferred embodiments of the invention implement techniques for modifying the command trajectory, the architecture of a servomechanism control system, or both, to reduce the servo error during and/or after the command trajectory. An iterative refinement procedure generates for use by the servomechanism control system a corrective input, du, which significantly reduces the error between the desired and actual servomechanism control system outputs. In one embodiment, a uniquely identified plant model is employed in the iterative refinement procedure to compute an approximate gradient that improves the performance and reliability of the refinement procedure. In another embodiment, the actual plant response is used in place of the identified model in the iterative refinement procedure. This is accomplished by time-reversing the stored error signal from a training run, before applying it to the plant to generate an update to the corrective input signal du.

  • Patent number: 7259354
    Abstract: High speed removal of material from a specimen employs a beam positioner for directing a laser beam axis along various circular and spiral laser tool patterns. A preferred method of material removal entails causing relative movement between the axis of the beam and the specimen, directing the beam axis at an entry segment acceleration and along an entry trajectory to an entry position within the specimen at which laser beam pulse emissions are initiated, moving the beam axis at a circular perimeter acceleration within the specimen to remove material along a circular segment of the specimen, and setting the entry segment acceleration to less than twice the circular perimeter acceleration.
