Abstract: An information capture system comprises a plurality of mobile data processing apparatuses and a recorded call information server. Each one of the mobile data processing apparatuses is configured for generating party-notified phone conversation recordings. Generating each one of the party-notified phone conversation recordings includes determining recording consent notification requirements based upon a location of at least one party engaged in a respective one of the phone conversations and issuing recording consent notification in accordance with the consent notification requirements. The recorded call information server is coupled to each one of the mobile data processing apparatuses for monitoring call recording activity of each one of the mobile data processing apparatuses. Monitoring the call recording activity includes receiving a location of a particular one of the mobile data processing apparatuses during an instance of a phone call.

Abstract: Provided are partially and fully earth-anchored cable-stayed bridges, each of which uses a prestressing unit including anchor units and a prestressing member from deck segments installed at its main span such that the prestressing unit serves as a conventional windproof cable and can simultaneously introduce a tensile stress. Thereby, a magnitude of the maximum compressive stress acting on a cross section of each main-span deck segment is reduced, so that it is possible to reduce a cross-sectional area of each main-span deck segment and thus to ensure economical construction. All or part of the compressive stress generated at the main span can be offset by the tensile stress caused by the prestressing member.
