Abstract: A snack food container is configured with a container compartment and a receptacle compartment. The container compartment is configured to contain shelled foods such as sunflower seeds. The receptacle compartment is configured to receive discarded skins such as sunflower seed skins. The snack food container can have a rotatable lid with an aperture that is selectively alignable with either the container compartment or the receptacle compartment. The lid aperture can be sized and shaped in a manner to best assist in dispensing fresh seeds from the container compartment into a user's mouth, and to receive discarded skins from the user's mouth.

Abstract: A short-range wireless communication network may be established by direct communication between two or more wireless communication devices. A conventional cellular telephone includes an integrated short-range transceiver. The short-range transceivers of multiple wireless communication devices can be coupled together to form a short-range communication network without utilizing any wireless communication network supported by wireless service providers. The short-range communication network may be extended as additional devices come within range or consolidated as wireless communication devices leave the communication range. The short-range communication network is built upon the proximity of wireless communication devices with each other. Data is disseminated between the wireless communication devices using a data message synchronization process. Messages may also be carried from one wireless network to another as the communication devices are carried by individuals.
