Patent number: 11736611Abstract: A method and apparatus for visual engagement using automatically dynamically selected visualization mediums is described that will allow visual engagement via visual engagement sessions between customers and agents regardless of the type of application in use at the customer. Calls between customers and agents are implemented using the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and visual engagement sessions are added to the calls, which enables visual engagement to occur without requiring modification of the manner in which calls are handled (routed) and bridged at the call center. In some embodiments, to enable an agent to see an output of an application client in use by a customer, a visualization system automatically selects one or more types of visualization technology for a visualization session with the customer based on the type of application client in use at the customer.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Glance Networks, Inc.Inventors: Edward F.

Publication number: 20170191879Abstract: Temperature sensors and, in particular, temperature sensors of the thermocouple (TC) and resistance temperature detector (RTD) types. The temperature sensors are manufactured by sequential deposition of insulating and temperature sensor layers onto a substrate via thick film techniques. The temperature sensor layer includes a temperature sensor element, which may be configured as a conductor pair forming a thermocouple junction or as a resistance temperature detector filament. The substrate may optionally be roll formed after thick film processing from a flat, manufacturing configuration into a tube shaped use configuration, in which the layers and temperature sensor elements are disposed within an interior of the device. The conductors or filaments of temperature sensor elements may extend along the length of the sensor substrate to minimize the number of electrical connections present, thereby easing manufacture and decreasing points of potential operational failure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2016Publication date: July 6, 2017Inventor: Tom Martin

Publication number: 20170175961Abstract: Lighting systems are provided for use in building interiors or for exterior lighting. The lighting systems include a light module formed of a heat conductive structural substrate, together with a lighting configuration formed directly on an exposed surface of the substrate via thick film printing techniques. The substrate is a highly heat conductive material such aluminum or aluminum alloy, and includes an electrically insulating layer printed and cured directly on an exposed surface of the substrate, a circuit layer printed and cured directly on the insulating layer, and a plurality of LEDs electrically attached to the circuit layer.

Patent number: 9184727Abstract: A surface acoustic wave (SAW) device includes a piezoelectric crystal substrate on which an acoustic channel is formed, at least one electro-mechanical transducer operatively associated with the acoustic channel, and an encapsulating casing having a cover spaced above the acoustic channel and thereby defining a sealed volume around the substrate. A mass deposition device within the casing is spaced between the acoustic channel and the cover, preferably as gold-coated heating wire spanning the acoustic channel and having ends that are connectable to an electric power source outside the casing. Stress and aging shifts can be induced after sealing of the cover. Tuning is achieved by evaporating metal molecules off the heated wire onto the acoustic channel as the frequency is monitored, until the mass loading of metal molecules on the transducer produces the target frequency.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2012Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: Phonon CorporationInventor: Tom A.
