Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, a method for communicating data associated with a user of a voice device is disclosed. A server receives a first identifier associated with a first device, the first device comprising one of the voice device and the data device. The server determines a second identifier associated with a second device based on the first identifier, the second device comprising the other one of the voice device and the data device. The server then establishes a connection with the second device using the second identifier and communicates data associated with the user of the voice device between the server and the data device. The communicated data can represent a user identifier (such as a user identifier stored on a smart card, the user's iris scan, the user's fingerprint scan and the like).

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus and products relate to drawing and blowing of ultra thin glass substrates, such as flexible display glass sheets, for example, organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and/or other flexible substrate applications, such as lighting, and/or other technologies, such as electro-wetting (EW), electro-phoretic display applications, etc. A localized heat source centripetally heats a vertical glass pre-form, while a pressurized air source blows the heated glass to expansion. An air bearing may centripetally blow air against the expanding pre-form to limit expansion and prevent contact of the pre-form with the localized heat source. Meanwhile, the pre-form is pulled vertically to draw the heated glass. The pre-form may float in a floatation mechanism to compensate for gravity when the pre-form is pulled upward. The blown and drawn pre-form may be cooled, coated with a polymer layer, and cut into a ribbon by in-line devices as it exits the air bearing.

Abstract: According to an embodiment on the present invention, a method for controlling a voice recorder is disclosed. The voice recorder is for recording a voice session between an origination device and a destination device. The method can be conveniently executed at a computing apparatus coupled to the origination device and to the voice recorder. The method comprises receiving at least one of a user identifier associated with a user of the origination device and a destination identifier associated with the destination device. The method further comprises generating a voice recording trigger using at least one of data associated with the user identifier and data associated with the destination identifier. The voice recording trigger is then transmitted to the voice recorder to enable the voice recorder to control recording of the voice session between the origination device and the destination device.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing at least one single-crystal seed that can be used as a starter seed in the manufacture of a single-crystal high-pressure turbine nozzle, with at least one vane between two platforms, by metal casting, is disclosed. The process includes producing a wax pattern that includes a pattern for the nozzle, a pattern for the starter seed, and a pattern for a crude seed; forming a ceramic shell mold from the wax pattern; incorporating a starter seed into the mold; pouring metal into the mold; directionally solidifying the metal in the mold from the starter seed; and separating the crude seed from the nozzle. The starter seed and the crude seed each include a flat face for localizing the crystalline orientations. The crude seed has the same crystallographic structure as the nozzle.

Abstract: A tire with a changing tread pattern is formed by first forming a tire having a tread, the tread having at least one circumferential or lateral groove. A wearable filler, having a configuration corresponding to at least a portion of the circumferential or lateral groove formed in the tire, is located in the radially outer portion of the circumferential or lateral groove or a portion of the circumferential or lateral groove, and secured within the grooves so as to create a groove void radially inward of the wearable filler, the void being exposed upon wear of the tire tread.
