Abstract: A system and method for previewing calls in communications system is provided. The system includes a first communications device operated by a sender, the first communications device executing first call preview code for allowing the sender to provide relational context information relating to a call, and a second communications device operated by a receiver, the second communications device executing second call preview code for receiving the relational context information from the sender and displaying the relational context information to the receiver. The receiver can decide how to respond to the call from the sender based upon the relational context information. A plurality of user interface screens can be generated for allowing the receiver to participate in a survey relating to the call.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for alleviating the problem of reaction of lithium or other alkali or alkaline earth metals with incompatible processing and operating environments by creating an ionically conductive chemical protective layer on the lithium or other reactive metal surface. Such a chemically produced surface layer can protect lithium metal from reacting with oxygen, nitrogen or moisture in ambient atmosphere thereby allowing the lithium material to be handled outside of a controlled atmosphere, such as a dry room. Production processes involving lithium are thereby very considerably simplified. One example of such a process is the processing of lithium to form negative electrodes for lithium metal batteries.
