Ever need a fact or quotation on spectroscopies? Designed for speechwriters, journalists, writers, researchers, students, professors, teachers, historians, academics, scrapbookers, trivia buffs and word lovers, this is the largest book ever created for this single word. It represents a compilation from a variety of sources with a linguistic emphasis on anything relating to the term “spectroscopies,” including non-conventional usage and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities. The entries cover all parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb or adjective usage) as well as use in modern slang, pop culture, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This “data dump” results in many unexpected examples for spectroscopies, since the editorial decision to include or exclude terms is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under “fair use” conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. Proceeds from this book are used to expand the content and coverage of Webster’s Online Dictionary (www.websters-online-dictionary.org).

Ever need a fact or quotation on "Christianity and civilization"? Designed for speechwriters, journalists, writers, researchers, students, professors, teachers, historians, academics, scrapbookers, trivia buffs and word lovers, this is the largest book ever created for this word. It represents a compilation of "single sentences" and/or "short paragraphs" from a variety of sources with a linguistic emphasis on anything relating to the term "Christianity and civilization," including non-conventional usage and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities. This is not an encyclopedic book, but rather a collage of statements made using the word "Christianity and civilization," or related words (e.g. inflections, synonyms or antonyms). This title is one of a series of books that considers all major vocabulary words. The entries in each book cover all parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb or adjective usage) as well as use in modern slang, pop culture, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This data dump results in many unexpected examples for "Christianity and civilization," since the editorial decision to include or exclude terms is purely a computer-generated linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under fair use conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain.

Data prediction in DSP methods for transient spectroscopies: Patented by Bayard K. Fetler on December 3, 1998. Abstract: Observation of transient phenomena in an oversampled regime is implemented with a digital filter pre-charged with a list of pseudodata obtained by prepending one or more pseudo datums to the oversampled data to constitute an effective data set wherein each pseudodatum is derived from the complex conjugate of a corresponding actual datum symmetrically disposed with respect to the time origin.

Device for Carrying Out Atomic Absorption Spectroscopies: Patented by Viliam Krivan, Peter Barth and Christoph Schnürer–patschan on June 24, 1998. Abstract: The invention relates to a device for carrying out atomic absorption spectroscopies, comprising a light source and an electrothermic atomiser. According to the invention, the monochromatic light of a laser diode is radiated through a sample, said sample being electrothermically vaporised by means of a sample support in the form of a tungsten spiral or a tungsten boat. A detector is then able to determine the element–specific absorption of the light by the free atoms formed by vaporisation.

Digital Filter Pre–charging for Transient Spectroscopies: Patented by Bayard K. Fetler on December 16, 1999. Abstract: Observation of transient phenomena in an oversampled regime is implemented with a digital filter pre–charged with a list of pseudodata obtained by prepending one or more pseudodatums to the oversampled data to constitute an effective data set wherein each pseudodatum is derived from the complex conjugate of a corresponding actual datum symmetrically disposed with respect to the time origin.

Robust spectroscopic optical probe: Patented by Norma Lindsey Buchanan, Daniel Charles Alsmeyer, Gregory Wayne Nelson, Roger Dale Edwards and Vincent Alvin Nicely on May 5, 1995. Abstract: Disclosed is a spectroscopic probe apparatus useful for Raman, near infrared, luminescence, ultraviolet or visible spectroscopies that is formed with a robust method of construction using a molten metal soldering technique. The disclosed method and apparatus provides an optical probe that is easy to manufacture yet able to withstand drastic environmental conditions without damage and produce useful spectroscopic results under such conditions.

Robust spectroscoptic optical probe: Patented by Norma Lindsey Buchanan, Daniel Charles Alsmeyer, Gregory Wayne Nelson, Roger Dale Edwards and Vincent Alvin Nicely on June 7, 1996. Abstract: Disclosed is a spectroscopic probe apparatus useful for Raman, near infrared, luminescence, ultraviolet or visible spectroscopies that is formed with a robust method of construction using a molten metal soldering technique. The disclosed method and apparatus provides an optical probe that is easy to manufacture yet able to withstand drastic environmental conditions without damage and produce useful spectroscopic results under such conditions.
