Abstract: A system (10) for controlling telecommunications calls includes a voice XML network gateway (12) including a voice interpreter module (20) and a call center server module (28) association with a telecommunications switch (58). The voice interpreter module (20) receives voice telecommunications signals, and the call center server module (28) receives call center telecommunications data signals. Interpreting circuitry (22, 24) interprets the voice telecommunications signals using the voice interpreter module in association speech recognition application (s) (16). Call center service providing (18) means provides call center service in response to the call center telecommunications data signals in association with call center application program(s).

Abstract: An compound core optical waveguide fiber designed for high data rate or single channel or WDM systems which may include optical amplifiers. The waveguide is characterized by a core having two or three regions wherein the refractive index can be varied. The relative size of the regions may also be varied. By adjusting these variables, the desired mode field diameter, zero dispersion wavelength, dispersion slope and cut off wavelength were obtained. The optical properties are chosen to limit non-linear effects while maintaining low attenuation and acceptable bend performance. In addition, the residual stress within the waveguide is maintained at a low level to limit stress induced birefringence. The low residual stress in the uncoated waveguide, together with a dual coating system having selected moduli and glass transition temperatures results in low polarization mode dispersion.
