Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method. The system includes a computer server and a processor, which receives a request for pronunciation of a target name by a user. A database may store one or more name pronunciations for one or more names. The computer server compares the target name received in the requested pronunciation of the target name with one or more of the name pronunciations in the database to identify a ranked list of pronunciations of the target name. The computer server may provide the ranked list of pronunciations of the target name to a user device associated with the user.

Abstract: Predictive models may be trained to estimate values of conversation quality metrics for ongoing conversations. A predictive model may be trained to predict the outcome of an ongoing conversation based on the values of conversation quality metrics for the conversation. The trained predictive model may be used to predict the outcome of an ongoing conversation, and/or to provide recommendations to a participant in the conversation regarding adjustments to the participant's communications that are predicted to improve the outcome of the conversation.

Abstract: Methods and systems for determining conversation quality are described. Predictive models may be trained to estimate values of conversation quality metrics for ongoing conversations. A predictive model may be trained to predict the outcome of an ongoing conversation based on the values of conversation quality metrics for the conversation. The trained predictive model may be used to predict the outcome of an ongoing conversation, and/or to provide recommendations to a participant in the conversation regarding adjustments to the participant's communications that are predicted to improve the outcome of the conversation.

Abstract: A soothing anti-viral lotion composition and a lotioned tissue product having a surface with the lotion composition applied thereto, and methods for making and using the same. The lotion composition includes an anti-viral organic acid and a topical delivery system. The topical delivery system includes one or more hydroxyl-functional polyester diols which allow incorporation of the organic acids into the lotion formulation, controls their delivery, and maintains them in the stratum corneum. The lotion composition may optionally contain a surfactant, an irritation inhibiting agent, and other additives.

Abstract: A dispensing cover for use with a container to form a dispenser for substrates has a minimum thickness for the material forming the perimeter of the dispensing opening to reduce the dispensing drag and/or dispensing noise. In one embodiment, the dispensing cover can comprise a dispensing lid that is snapped over the open end of a cup that is filled with a stack of facial tissues. In another embodiment, the dispensing cover can comprise a dispensing plug that is inserted into one end of a hollow tube that is filled with a stack of facial tissues and closed on the opposing end with a bottom plug.

Abstract: A dispenser for sheet materials includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and a restraining member preventing the top and bottom portion from separating. The top portion and the bottom portion can telescope to vary the dispenser's overall height. In one embodiment, by designing a dispenser having bottom sidewalls and top sidewalls of approximately the same length, problems with access to the exposed sheet or excessive manipulation to change the dispenser's height can be avoided. In another embodiment, by designing the dispenser such that the height of the dispenser can automatically reduce as the sheet material is depleted or where the height can be adjusted by simply pushing down on the dispenser's top makes the dispenser convenient to use.

Abstract: Tissues are provided as multi-ply tissue products having greater tactile sensation and resiliency in hand. Improved tissues may have a thickened and reduced density middle layer. The tissues may serve as applicators for chemical agents to be released during use of the tissue. A tissue having an improved tactile impression to the consumer, with enhanced resilience and high external bulk is disclosed. In one embodiment, a multi-ply structure having at least three plies is desirable. A middle or intermediate ply is comprised an increased thickness and a greater bulk is employed. In general, the exterior plies of the tissue are smooth and desirable to the consumer.
