Ballistic resistant composite articles having improved resistance to backface deformation. The rotor further includes a multi-pole structure comprising circumferentially alternating pole elements, and a rotor cover extending longitudinally over the multi-pole structure. The circuit board includes a circuit portion and a roughly flat shaped base portion. The IVR may then provide messages based on the calendar information to the caller as well as provide options to the caller, retrieve responses from the caller, and instruct the service node to process the call based on the responses. The control circuit selectively routes the low-speed Tx signal at the low-speed Tx line directly to the optical transceiver device in real time, and also routes a low-speed Rx signal from the transceiver to the low-speed Rx line.
