Filed: 1999-02-01
Abstract: An apparatus and method for coordinating multiple user responses solicited from a user during a session with a call processing application includes receiving a first transmission from a user via a communication network, the transmission causing a voice channel control unit of an IVR unit to open a voice-form voice file. A first request is transmitted to the user, soliciting a first user response, the request being stored in a voice file database of the IVR unit. After receiving the first response, the first response is recorded into the voice-form voice file. A second request is transmitted to the user requesting a second user response. The second user response is appended to the voice-form voice file after it is received. A termination message is transmitted to the user informing the user that the current interaction with the IVR unit is complete. A system administrator configures the call processing application stored in an application database of the IVR unit. Voice files associated with mailboxes of the call processing application are stored in the voice file database accessible to the voice channel control unit.

Patent GB-999423-A (GB)
Abstract: 999,423. Cables. GENERAL CABLE CORPORATION. March 5, 1962 [June 9, 1961], No. 8426/62. Heading H1A. In a method of making a cable with wound layers of paper tape insulation the first few layers applied to the cable core are of controlled low moisture content and succeeding layers are of a higher controlled moisture content. On drying of the insulation the shrinkage difference of tapes with different initial moisture contents result in relatively high density insulation adjacent the core, surrounded by insulation of a lower density. As a result of the formation of gaps in the outer layers due to increased shrinkage the initially drier inner layers are dried still further.
