Abstract: Systems and methods for data collection and processing in a network, including one or more sensors disposed in a network interface and configured to collect raw signal traffic data where each sensor is further configured to parse the raw signal traffic data into network protocols; split the network protocols into content data and metadata; derive contextual metadata from the content data; compile the metadata and the derived metadata to produce anonymized metadata; encrypt the anonymized metadata; and transmit to the encrypted anonymized metadata to a unified data server.

Abstract: A play device includes an outer shell, a holding compound, and at least one activatable character concealed within the compound. The character has a resilient/elastomeric body and at least one appendage. The character may bend, stretch, and/or be compressed. The compound is capable of temporarily confining a character covered with the compound. The compound gradually releases the character from a deformed state within the compound to an un-deformed state. The outer shell holds the deformed character within the compound to prevent the character from progressing to an activated, undeformed state until the user is ready to activate the character by releasing the character from the outer shell. Spring forces associated with the resilient or elastomeric material of the character allows it to progress from the deformed state to the un-deformed state in which the character expands and at least a portion of the character breaks free from the compound.
