  • Patent number: 8713107
    Abstract: A system and method for delivering electronic mail to the user at a previously defined remote location which also allows the user to reply to the email from such remote location is disclosed. An application program operates at the user's home electronic mail communication system, typically a desktop PC, forwarding electronic mail messages through the internet to a central system, which contains user profile information and acts as a forwarding server. The system can also be applied to the user's mail server instead of the user's desktop PC. Preferred user profiles stored in the forwarding server determine how the server directs notification of new email to the user in accordance with the user's preferred profile. Information regarding the pending emails are directed to the user's mobile telephone or PDA device, allowing the user to determine whether to respond to the electronic mail presently or defer response, in accordance with the user's preference at the time of receipt.

  • Patent number: 8583430
    Abstract: A semi-automated, intermodal transcription-formatted data input system utilizing one or more interconnected servers which receive communications links. The system identifies and validates a user, and receives, accepts and sends voice files to a distributed processing location where operators are assigned transcription tasks. The voice input from the user is transcribed according to a predefined format for that user which takes voice input information provided and transcribes it into user-defined data fields for retransmission to that user over a preferred communications system. A user may dictate predefined formatted information such as appointments, objective checklists such as a to-do list, contact information or other predefined data formats for processing and retransmission to the same user or other defined users for entry in an operating system or application desired by that user.

  • Patent number: 6686209
    Abstract: In this disclosure, novel caanabinol-based tracers suitable for use in immunoassays that detect cannabinoids in a biological sample are disclosed. These cannabinol-based tracers are particularly useful in a continuous flow displacement immunoassay. The disclosure also describes the processes for synthesizing the novel tracers, and the application of these tracers in fluorescence immunoassays for detecting and quantifying cannabinoids in biological samples.
