Abstract: A method of providing speech recognition resolution on an application server in a communication network includes receiving an utterance from an end-user, for example, at a Voice Gateway in response to a prompt by an application prompt, capturing the utterance, and dispatching it via the application server to a speech recognition provider. The method further includes performing item-matching via a search algorithm, returning items matching the utterance to the application server, and returning relevant utterance matches to the application, for example, on the Voice Gateway, for communication to the user.

Abstract: A printable label assembly includes a printable label having an adhesive coating applied to a first surface thereof to facilitate attachment of the label to an article. The label is configured to receive a printed image on a second surface thereof. A removable backing is releasably attached to the adhesive coating and has at least three sections: a removable primary section releasably attached to a central portion of the adhesive coating of the label and being configured to be removed from the central portion to expose the central portion for attachment to the article; and a pair of removable handle sections releasably attached to outward portions of the adhesive coating of the label, the handle sections being configured to remain on the adhesive coating of the label after removal of the primary section to provide at least two handling points for manipulation by a user to assist the user in applying the label to the article.

Abstract: A new use for an application program installer, such as the Microsoft Windows Software Installer (MSI) Application, which is operable to install an application program and rollback an installation if it appears unsuccessful, and a backup-restore application program, such as such as Tivoli Backup™, which is operable to backup and restore a configuration of a machine. An update for altering network resources of a customer being hosted on one or more hosting servers of a hosting service is provided. A first server of the hosting servers is selected. A starting configuration of the first server is backed up. The application program installer is utilized to apply the update to the network resources of the customer on the first server. A determination may be made whether to restore the starting configuration of the first server with the backup-restore application program.
