Abstract: An immersion probe system is provided for simultaneously performing first analysis of a first portion of light originating from liquids and/or particles in a fluid and second analysis of a second portion of the light originating from the liquids and/or particles. The system defines an optical axis and includes a first component including a first analyzer, a window, and a first optical path extending between the window and the first analyzer. The system also includes a second component including a second analyzer, the window, and a second optical path extending between the window and the second analyzer. The system further includes a spectral selector placed in the first optical path and in the second optical path to direct the first portion of the light, which originates from the liquids and/or particles and passes through the window, to the first analyzer, and to direct the second portion of said light to the second analyzer.

Abstract: A computer implemented system for integrating, searching, and updating media related databases comprising a first server for receiving digital content from at least one of a plurality of sources, a second server for receiving queries from at least one of a plurality of user computing devices, and a database access layer being utilized by the first and second servers to read and write to a plurality of databases. The plurality of databases comprise a content database and a media database. The content database receives at least one article of digital content from the first server via the database access layer and stores the at least one article. The media database contains at least one journalist data and media outlet data. A mapping module matches journalist data and media outlet data to at least one journalist data and media outlet data contained in the media database.

Abstract: An indication of a topic of interest is received. Multiple pieces of content are accessed, and the indication of the topic of interest is compared to the pieces of content. Based on comparing the indication of the topic of interest to the pieces of content, a piece of content is identified as being relevant to the topic of interest. An identifier is identified for an author of the piece of content. Contact information for each of multiple authors including identifiers therefor is accessed, and the identifier for the author is compared to the identifiers included in the contact information. Based on results of comparing the identifier for the author to the identifiers included in the contact information, contact information corresponding to the author is identified. Thereafter, an indication of the identity of the author and at least some of the identified contact information corresponding to the author is returned.

Abstract: A computer implemented system for integrating, updating, and searching media related databases and building media lists and reports comprising a first server for receiving digital content from multiple sources, a second server for receiving queries from multiple user computing devices; and a database access layer being utilized by the first and second servers to read and write to multiple databases including a content database, a media database, a mapping database, and a report database. The content database receives digital content from the first server and stores such digital content. The media database receives author data and media outlet data of digital content from the first server and stores such data. The mapping database stores mapping data between byline data and source outlet data of digital content in the content database and author data and media outlet data in the media database for updating the media database. The report database stores user report requests.

Abstract: The Invention is a multi-faceted web-based interface that includes such functional components as ringback message and other DMC sub-type production, ringback message and other DMC sub-type distribution, ringback subscriber, ringback caller, and other DMC sub-type user data evaluation, ringback and other DMC sub-type message valuation, single point online interface for diverse multi-users and objectives, and multi-adaptive formatting of ringback messages or other DMC sub-type messages for most cellular and land-line phone carriers' platforms. The Invention facilitates the production of a wide variety of ringback or other DMC sub-type audio, video and gaming message content such as: personalized information, advertisement and promotional offerings, and complex multiple segmented messages that utilize stock audio or video online content inventory combined with customized content or user provided content.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switch is manufactured by independent processing and subsequent bonding together of a MEMS substrate in alignment with an RF substrate. The RF MEMS switch is designed so as to encapsulate a flexing diaphragm supporting a switch electrode used with electrostatic flexing potentials to move electrodes of the MEMS substrate up and down over an RF transmission line structure of the RF substrate. The bonded combined MEMS switch structure is used to create an encapsulated RF MEMS switch suitable for direct coupling, AC coupling, and direct modulation of RF signals. The resulting MEMS RF switch device provides a reliable, minimally distorting RF transmission line geometry, free of contamination for use in high speed RF signal switching applications well suited for advance communication RF switching requirements.
