Abstract: An attractant and distance marking device for indicating predetermined distances from a hunting position, includes a solution having a dispersing agent and a suspension suspended in the dispersing agent. The suspension includes base paint, animal attractant, and pigment. A pressurized aerosol container has a body portion defining a sealed interior space and has an actuator, the interior space housing the solution, the actuator being configured to selectively disperse the solution from the interior space. The solution further includes an effective amount of thickening agent sufficient such that the solution has a consistency capable of adhering to environmental structure when dispersed from the interior space.

Abstract: A local network router learns to route IP traffic among customer premises equipment on a local network rather than permitting the IP traffic to be routed through a broadband cable network and selected internet service provider (ISP) to the internet. The local network router dynamically generates a routing table from address resolution protocol (ARP) packets exchanged between the CPE and the external network. For each IP data packet received from a CPE that is destined for another local CPE, the local network router replaces a default gateway with the destination CPE. Accordingly, network resources for routing traffic are significantly reduced.

Abstract: A compact electrical socket with a rotating plug receptacle is provided that minimizes the amount of material required to facilitate full 360 degree rotation of the receptacle. The socket has a body with an interior into which the rotating receptacle is positioned. Pins on the exterior wall of the receptacle move within a body interior groove, positioning a receptacle forward base against a body base. The body base has stationary contact elements including a centrally positioned element and two radially disposed stationary contact elements. The receptacle base has rotating contact elements including a centrally positioned element and two radially disposed rotating contact elements, all three in continuous electrical contact as the receptacle moves through a 360 degree rotation. The corresponding rotating radially disposed contacts form arcs having lengths summing to less than 370 degrees but more than 360 degrees. The socket can be used in walls, extension cords, etc.

Abstract: A materials handling apparatus including a closure door which can be selectively operated to open or close the access opening in the apparatus. The door is operated by means of an air cylinder under the control of an air valve and an electronic control.
