  • Patent number: 11582335
    Abstract: An intercom device and a method of recording an audio stream at the intercom device. The intercom device includes a user interface, a memory, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the user interface and the memory and is configured to receive a user-selectable entry from an input mechanism of the user interface. The electronic processor sets an away mode of the intercom device in response to the user-selectable entry. An audio stream is received by the intercom device from another intercom device. Are cord signal indicative of a request to record the audio stream is also received from the another intercom device. The intercom device records the audio stream in the memory in response to receiving the record signal when operating in the away mode.

  • Patent number: 10978035
    Abstract: Integrated acoustic emission transducer apparatus and methods are described. An example integrated external preamplifier device includes a data extractor, a process variable determiner, a status indication determiner, and a presentation device. The integrated external preamplifier device receives an acoustic emission signal generated via an acoustic emission sensor operatively coupled to the integrated external preamplifier device. The data extractor extracts signal data from the acoustic emission signal. The process variable determiner determines process variable data based on the extracted signal data. The process variable data includes at least one of flow rate data, flow capacity data, flow area data, flow velocity data, mass accumulation data, or volume accumulation data. The status indication determiner determines status indication data based on the process variable data.

  • Publication number: 20180285976
    Abstract: A method, computer program product and system are provided for automatically detecting and notifying a party of a change in the party's insurance needs without the need for user intervention, on the part of an agent or the party him-, her-, or itself. Prospective customers can be identified through marketing, or an insurance provider may execute software that is configured to monitor one or more data sources that include information associated with the party and/or the party's environment. Upon detecting a triggering event that indicates a change in the party's insurance needs, the software may automatically notify the party of the change and provide a recommendation for a change in the party's insurance coverage resulting from the change in the party's insurance needs. The notification may further include a bindable quote associated with the recommendation, as well as a means by which the party can accept the recommendation and quote.

  • Patent number: 6027624
    Abstract: The automated capillary electrophoresis method and apparatus analyzes a sample in real time or near real time in order to identify the presence of a number of different ions as well as other sample parameters, such as the relative concentrations of each ion identified in the sample. By performing capillary electrophoresis in an automated fashion, the automated capillary electrophoresis method and apparatus may be configured to monitor a manufacturing process online with little, if any, input from the system operator. The automated capillary electrophoresis method and apparatus also provides a base line such that the analysis results can be compared and can be more meaningfully interrupted. The automated capillary electrophoresis method and apparatus initially performs capillary electrophoresis upon a sample containing at least one ion to obtain data over time which relates to a predetermined property of the sample, such as the degree of transparency of at least a portion of the sample.
