A young girl's crocs shoe was dragged into an escalator's comb plate when she reached the top of the escalator with her parent. Tests were conducted on identical replacement shoes which found that the soft, malleable material of the crocs shoe allowed it to become stuck between the escalator steps when the toe touched the step riser, trapping it before it was pulled into the comb plate. The investigation concluded that soft, rubbery shoes can get caught in the gaps between escalator steps, especially if weight is applied, posing a danger. Improved safety signage was recommended to warn customers.
Systems and methods for visual presentation and selection of IVR menuTal Lavian Ph.D.
Embodiments of the invention provide an enhanced telephone system. The telephone system comprises a database that comprises phone numbers and menus corresponding to the phone numbers. Further, the menus comprise options for selection. The telephone system comprises means for comparing a dialed number to the phone numbers in the database, displaying a menu based on a result of the comparison, enabling selection of the options from the displayed menu, and establishing a connection with a destination of the dialed number based on the selection of the options.

Data may be preconditioned to be transferred on a switched underlay network to alleviate the data access and transfer rate mismatch, so that large files may be effectively transferred on the network at optical networking speeds. A data meta-manager service may be provided on the network to interface a data source and/or data target to prepare a data file for transmission, such as by dividing a large file into multiple pieces and causing those pieces to be stored on multiple storage subsystems. The file may then be read from the multiple storage subsystems simultaneously and multiplexed onto scheduled resources on the network. This enables the high bandwidth transfer resource to be filled by a data transfer without requiring the storage subsystem to be augmented to output the data at the network transfer rate. The file may be de-multiplexed at the data target to one or more storage subsystems.
