Abstract: At least a selected microporous membrane is made by a dry-stretch process and has substantially round shaped pores and a ratio of machine direction tensile strength to transverse direction tensile strength in the range of 0.5 to 6.0. The method of making the foregoing microporous membrane may include the steps of: extruding a polymer into a nonporous precursor, and biaxially stretching the nonporous precursor, the biaxial stretching including a machine direction stretching and a transverse direction stretching, the transverse direction including a simultaneous controlled machine direction relax.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products collect and deliver call data associated with court ordered trap and/or traces. A method involves receiving a request to monitor calls to and/or from a target telephone number where the request includes request parameters such as the target telephone number. The method further involves storing the request where the target telephone number is stored in association with a court order and utilizing the request to identify and retrieve call records matching the request parameters. Utilizing the request to identify and retrieve call records matching the request parameters may involve creating a text file including the request parameters, reading the request parameters from the text file, monitoring call records for call records matching the request parameters, and storing call records that match the request parameters. The call records that match are stored in association with the court order and the target telephone number.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs for constructing a billing statement from detailed usage file (DUF) records received from an Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (ILEC). A master file contains routing information associating each of a plurality of telephone numbering plan addresses plus additional telephone number digits (NPA-NXX) with a corresponding local access transport area (LATA). Telephone operator services (TOPS) assignment files are downloaded and used to edit the master file, thereby generating an enhanced master file. DUF records are downloaded. A set of enhanced DUF records is generated by filtering the downloaded DUF records. A rate table of customer price plans is applied to the set of enhanced DUF records and the enhanced master file to construct a billing statement.

Abstract: One method involves receiving a search request that includes a date and phone number. A master index file is searched for the phone number. The master index file includes phone numbers associated with calls that occurred on the date in the search request. The master index file also includes the location of the first index record for the phone number in an index file. The index file includes an index record for each call record. Each index record includes a phone number from a call record and the location of the call record. In response to locating the phone number in the master index file, the index file is searched for each index record with the phone number. In response to locating an index record with the phone number, the call record associated with that index record is retrieved. A search result including each call record retrieved is returned.
