Abstract: In a telephone system providing a voice mail service, a subscriber's voice mail follows
the subscriber as he moves. In, for example of a satellite mobile telephone system, a
subscriber may roam over wide areas. As he does so he registers sequentially with
different satellite access nodes (1a, 1b, 1c). These nodes (1a, 1b, 1c) may be on
different continents. When the subscriber registers with a new satellite access node
(1b), the contents of his previous voice mailbox (24a) are transfered to a new voice
mail box (24b) at the new satellite access node (1b). The subscriber's home location
register (30) record and the visitor location register (25b) record, at the new node (1b),
are updated with the number of the new voice mailbox (24b), so that new voice mail
can be routed to the correct mailbox.

Abstract: In an automotive vehicle, a wire harness includes a
wire bundle (W) which is housed in and protected by a
corrugated tube (11). The tube (11) has two end regions
(11b) circular in cross-section and a central region (11c)
elliptical or race-track shaped in cross-section. Between
the end regions (11b) and central region (11c) are
transition regions (11d) of varying cross-sectional shape.
When installed in a vehicle, the central region (11c) of
the wire harness tube is installed along the vehicle floor
such that the projection perpendicular to the floor by the
central region (11c) of the tube (11) is reduced. This
results in the wire harness requiring less space in the
vehicle. The tube includes a resilient expansion slit
(11e) which allows a wire bundle (W) to be inserted in or
removed from the tube.
