  • Patent number: 10292548
    Abstract: A urine deflecting toilet seat attachment includes a generally arcuate guard, removably attachable to a toilet seat. The guard has a top member defining a curvature complementary to a curvature along a generally central front portion of the toilet seat, and a generally arcuate projecting member projecting downwardly from the top member and defining a curvature complementary to a curvature along a generally central front portion of an inside surface of the upper rim of a toilet. When the guard is removably attached to the toilet seat, and the toilet seat is in a seated position, the projecting member projects downwardly to an elevation below the upper rim of the toilet, thereby covering the gap between the upper rim of the toilet and the toilet seat along a generally central front portion of the toilet.

  • Patent number: 9424064
    Abstract: A system and method of deploying a network hopping adaptor is disclosed. In some embodiments, a network hopping adaptor may be configured to manipulate network traffic so as to change at least one network characteristic of the network traffic, and at least one network interface of a machine selected from a group of machines may be configured to send the network traffic to the network hopping adaptor. The network hopping adaptor may manipulate such characteristics as an IP address, a port number, an encryption algorithm or a compression algorithm. The group of machines may be deployed as virtual machines being executed by a virtualization server, and the network hopping adaptor may be implemented on another virtual machine being executed by the virtualization server. Alternatively, or in addition, the group of machines or the network hopping adaptor may be implemented as physical machines.
