    摘要: At least some speakers engaged in an oral discourse are identified (101) and their oral contributions during that oral discourse tracked (102). At least one visual indicator provided (103) during the oral discourse serves to provide data regarding these tracked contributions (such as, but not limited to, an aggregate length of time that one or more of the participants has spoken). These teachings also provide, however, for automatically taking (104) at least one other action, during the oral discourse, as a function, at least in part, of this tracked oral contribution information.

    摘要: A method and system for managing a communication session among a plurality of communication members (116, 118, 120 and 122) is provided. The communication session is managed by an electronic device (102). The method includes identifying (304) an interrupted communication member (120) from the plurality of communication members. The interrupted communication member is talked-over by an interrupting communication member (122) during the communication session. Further, the method includes determining (306) an opportunity to notify in the communication session when the talk-over concludes. Furthermore, the method includes providing (308) a notification of the talk-over to the plurality of communication members during the opportunity to notify.

    摘要: A wireless device (100) provides coordinated audio playback. The device (100) includes a network interface (112) that receives a signal from a sending or originating device (401) and sends a reply to the signal. A network delay value is then calculated based on the reply to the signal. The wireless device (100) then receives a location of the originating device (401) and at least a portion of an audio file. The wireless device (100) generates audio from the audio file, with the generation being coordinated with audio generation by the originating device (401) based upon the network delay value and the distance between the wireless device (100) and the originating device (401).

    摘要: A system [100] is provided that includes a first set of sensors [140] to sense a set of conditions of at least one participant in a conversation and generate raw data corresponding to the sensed set of conditions. A first aggregation engine [160] aggregates the raw data and outputs a file corresponding to the raw data. A heuristic engine [175] receives the file and compares the raw data with predetermined state data and outputs a state based on a comparison of the raw data and the predetermined state data. A feedback device [180] determines a corrective action to enhance an outcome of the conversation based on the state.

    摘要: A micro-contact printing apparatus includes a pressure chamber with a micro-contact printing stamp, a vacuum chuck, elastomeric membrane and mechanical stops attached to the vacuum chuck and positioned within the chamber. An extractor pin is attached to the chamber and accessible externally. The micro-contact printing stamp includes a flexible layer made from an elastomer with a stamping surface and attached to a support structure. A method for micro-contact printing a substrate surface includes advancing the substrate surface toward the stamping surface and contacting mechanical stops with support structure before the substrate surface physically contacts the stamping surface. Springs of members adjust the position of the substrate surface to be parallel with the stamping surface. The membrane is inflated to physically contact the substrate surface with the stamping surface, in such a manner that complete adhesion of the stamping surface to the substrate surface is achieved. The extractor pin is used to disengage the substrate surface from the stamping surface at the chamber pressure used in micro-contact printing, so that distortion of the printing pattern is minimized.
