Abstract: This invention relates to an aluminum conductor composite core reinforced cable and method of manufacture. The composite core comprises a plurality of longitudinally extending fibers embedded in a resin matrix. The composite core comprises the following characteristics: tensile strength ranging from about 250 to about 350 Ksi; a tensile modulus of elasticity ranging from about 12 to about 16 Msi; and a coefficient of thermal expansion less than or equal to about 6×10?6 cm/cm·° C. The composite core is further manufactured according to a one or more die pultrusion system, the system comprising tooling designed in accordance with the processing speed, selection of composite core fibers and resin and desired physical characteristics of the end composite core.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for enrolling a user for voice authentication and for performing voice authentication on a user of a network. The method of enrolling a user for voice authentication includes verifying the identity of the user and assigning an enrolment identifier to the user, if the identity of the user is verified. The enrolment identifier is then presented to the user. Subsequently, the user is prompted to utter a personal voice authentication password. The personal password uttered by the user is received and stored. A voice print model for the user is generated from the previously stored voice print. The method further includes storing the voice print model and associating the voice print model and the personal password with the enrolment identifier assigned to the user to facilitate retrieval thereof during voice authentication of the user. A method for performing voice authentication on a user of a network is also provided.
