Abstract: A system for performing a local wireless communication using a predetermined frequency band divided into a plurality of channels. The system includes a hub for scanning each channel to identify available one of the plurality of channels and transmitting data over the available channel. The system further includes a sensor set to start to operate when the sensor detects a signal within the predetermined frequency band. The sensor spectrum-senses the signal of the frequency band for each channel, and analyzes a header of packet data for each channel, and receives and processes the packet data if the signal is identified to have a designated code.

Abstract: There is provided a stand for use with a hand held hair dryer. The stand selectively cooperates with a handle of the hand held hair dryer to form a tripod and enable a user to operate the hand held hair dryer in a hands-free manner. The stand can telescopically cooperate with the hand held hair dryer in such a manner to allow the hand held hair dryer to be selectively, tilted, angled and/or positioned when rested on or supported against a surface. The stand provides a user with greater flexibility in use and enhances the effectiveness/efficiency of the hand held hair dryer.
