A dielectric structure including solid dielectric regions incorporating a plurality of regions of vacuum or gas is provided. The dielectric constant of the regions of solid dielectrics can have a dielectric constant greater than 4. Each of the plurality of regions of vacuum or gas or the regions of solid dielectrics may be anisotropic with an aspect ratio of at least four. The smallest average dimension of a plurality of regions of vacuum or gas and/or solid dielectrics can have a length of less than 1 micron. The dielectric structure may have a higher electrical energy density in the regions of vacuum or gas than in the solid matrix. One or more electrodes of the capacitive structure can be coated with a solid insulating layer without an interface between a region of vacuum or gas and electrode.

Dielectric structures for electrical insulation with vacuum or gas

A communication system including a media server through which communication packets are exchanged for recording and monitoring purposes is disclosed. A tap is associated with each communication endpoint allowing for cradle to grave recording of communications despite their subsequent routing or branching. An incoming communication is routed to a first tap and upon selection of a receiving party; the first tap is routed to a second tap which forwards communication packets on to the receiving party. The taps may be used to forward communication packets to any number of other taps or destinations, such as a recording device, monitoring user, or other user in the form of a conference.

System and method for recording and monitoring communications using a media server

A system and method are presented for the encoding of participants in a conference setting. In an embodiment, audio from conference participants in a voice-over-IP setting may be received and processed by the system. In an embodiment, audio may be received in a compressed form and de-compressed for processing. For each participant, return audio is generated, compressed (if applicable) and transmitted to the participant. The system may recognize when participants are using the same audio encoding format and are thus receiving audio that may be similar or identical. The audio may only be encoded once instead of for each participant. Thus, redundant encodings are recognized and eliminated resulting in less CPU usage.

Methods for the encoding of participants in a conference

A computer system and method is disclosed that includes a telephony server that receives a spoken dialing command, sends the command to a speech recognition server, and dials a command based on the result. A computer system and method is disclosed that improves audio message delivery reliability. A computer system and method is disclosed that improves audio message manipulation. A computer system and method is disclosed that manages memory when audio messages are received. A system and method is disclosed that supports multiple speech recognition engines.

Speech recognition system and method

Provided is an animal tethering device for confining an animal to a location and allowing it to move freely within a prescribed area, while preventing entanglement. The device includes a central shaft through which a spool is rotatably and retractably attached. The device also includes a housing which may resemble a sports ball or other desired ornamental design. The device provides optimum rotation by allowing forces in the horizontal plane, and also offers maximum strength in the entire spool assembly.
