Patent number: 11212387Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of receiving a data file comprising a list of interactive voice response (IVR) prompts, identifying an IVR prompt with incorrect content that will cause an error during one or more of reading and playing of the IVR prompt, modifying the incorrect content via addition or removal of an element from text content within the IVR prompt, and storing the modified IVR prompt in memory.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2020Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Intrado CorporationInventors: Terry Olson, Mark L.

Patent number: 11062693Abstract: To provide a more natural sounding set of voice prompts of an interactive voice response (IVR) script, the voice recordings of the prompts may be modified to have a predetermined amount of silence at the end of the recording. The amount of silence required can be determined from the context in which the voice prompt appears in the IVR script. Different contexts may include mid-sentence, terminating in a comma, or a sentence ending context. These contexts may require silence periods of 100 ms, 250 ms and 500 ms respectively. Voice files may be trimmed to remove any existing silence and then the required silence period may be added.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: West CorporationInventors: Terry Olson, Mark Sempek, Roger Wehrle

Patent number: 8177787Abstract: A surgical procedure is disclosed utilizing a cordless surgical handpiece powered from a sterile battery pack that contains a battery in condition for immediate use without further charging or sterilization. The battery chemistry is based upon lithium/manganese dioxide, and the battery after a single use may be disposed of into non-hazardous waste. The compact surgical handpiece has a brushless DC motor and a manually operated external trigger for activating and controlling the motor operations. Interengaging sets of contacts on the handpiece and battery are adapted to become lockingly and conductively interengaged upon rotation of the battery pack relative to the handpiece, in a manner that rapidly achieves correct alignment of the parts and also ensures stable mechanical attachment and support during the surgical procedure.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2005Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Douglas W. Walker, Frank M. Ordaz, M. Terry Olson
