  • Patent number: 11888650
    Abstract: An overlay network is enhanced to provide traffic delivery using anycast and end user mapping. An anycast IP address is associated with sets of forwarding machines positioned in the overlay network. These locations correspond with IP addresses for zero rated billing traffic. In response to receipt at a forwarding machine of a packet, the machine issues an end user mapping request to the mapping mechanism. The mapping request has an IP address associated with the client from which the end user request originates. The mapping mechanism resolves the request and provides a response to the request. The response is an IP address associated with a set of server machines distinct from the forwarding machine. The forwarding machine encapsulates the packet and proxies the connection to the identified server. The server receives the connection, decapsulates the request, and processes the packet. The server machine responds to the requesting client directly.

  • Patent number: 11116249
    Abstract: A method of making a prepackaged, combustible unit of a plant based material for use in an inhalation system, metered dose inhaler, or dry powder inhaler. The method includes creating and shaping a combustible material packaging by processing leaves or plant fibers into a fibrous sheet, steaming the fibrous sheet, and using a female mold and a corresponding male mold to shape the combustible material packaging. The method further discloses filling pockets disposed within the combustible material packaging with the combustible material and sealing the combustible material packaging around the combustible material to create a prepackaged, combustible unit. Additional embodiments include various inhalation devices, inhalation systems, kits having instruction as to using the inhalation device, and methods of making the prepackaged combustible unit, and methods for using the inhalation devices.
