Abstract: A compact search client for accessing an augmented search engine is provided. The compact search client receives a verbal query for a search from a user. The compact search client communicates the verbal query to the augmented search engine. The augmented search engine determines a next search phase using a search state database. The augmented search engine generates a search query using the query and determines search results by querying search indexes with the search query and stores these results in the search state database. The augmented search engine generates a search summary using the query and the search results, and provides the search summary as a verbal search summary to the user via the compact search client.

Abstract: An augmented search engine is provided. The augmented search engine receives an initial query for a search from a user. The augmented search engine determines a next search phase using a search state database. When the next search phase includes requesting additional user input, the augmented search engine generates a user prompt using the initial query, displays this prompt to the user, and stores the prompt in the search state database. Upon receiving user input in response to the prompt, the augmented search engine generates a search query using the initial query, the user prompt, and the user input and determines search results by querying search indexes with the search query and stores these results in the search state database. The augmented search engine generates a search summary using the initial query, the user prompt, the user input, and the search results, and displays this summary to the user.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to real time dynamic timeout prediction. In one embodiment, a method includes context data for numerous transactions are stored and used to generate predictive weights and an offset. Context for new transactions are used to predict load times, and the offset is used to produce a timeout.

Abstract: The present invention comprises systems and devices for sequencing of nucleic acid, such as short DNA sequences from clonally amplified single-molecule arrays.

Abstract: A chemical sample collection and detection system is disclosed. The chemical sample collection and detection system includes a sample collection device and a detection device. The sample collection device includes a housing having two opposite sides and at least one openings on each side to allow a fluid sample passing through the housing; and a sorbent material placed between the two opposite sides of the housing or a sorbent coated screen. The sorbent material adsorbs chemical vapors, and traps particles and aerosols in the fluid sample when the fluid sample passes the housing through the openings. The detection device includes an atmospheric pressure ionization source and an ion detector. The atmospheric pressure ionization source desorbs and ionizes the chemicals trapped/sorbed on the sorbent material and the ion detector analyzes the ions for the presence of the sorbed chemical.

Abstract: A chemical detection system is disclosed. The chemical detection system includes an atmospheric pressure ionization (API) source that produces an API stream, a sample delivery system that delivers a liquid sample in a continuous manner to the API stream, an ion detector capable of detecting a molecule of interest and a control device. Also disclosed is a method for detecting a chemical of interest in a liquid sample.
