  • Patent number: 5446467
    Abstract: This device is easily detachable. When the arrow makes impact, the dart with the transmitter remains in the target. The impact activates the transmitter which puts out a signal that can be picked up by the receiver.Because the device is small and ver light and has a counter-balance, it won't interfere with the accuracy and the flight of the arrow. This allows the archer to find the game faster and easier.

  • Patent number: 4769814
    Abstract: A method for configuring/reconfiguring a limited broadcast route within a bridge-connected network. The method includes an algorithm, which configures a minimum spanning tree route. A source node generates and transmits a search frame with indicia set to a value representative of a configuration time. Each bridge in the network receives the frame and determines if the setting of the indicia matches the setting of a time code in said bridge. If there is a match, the bridge discards the frame. Otherwise, the frame is forwarded and the bridge is characterized as a limited broadcast (LB) bridge. The process is repeated at subsequent bridges until a leaf bridge is determined. Thereafter, broadcast messages are permitted to advance through the LB bridges.
