Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for securing a network, for admitting new nodes into an existing network, and/or for securely forming a new network. As a non-limiting example, an existing node may be triggered by a user, in response to which the existing node communicates with a network coordinator node. Thereafter, if a new node attempts to enter the network, and also for example has been triggered by a user, the network coordinator may determine, based at least in part on parameters within the new node and the network coordinator, whether the new node can enter the network.

Abstract: A node forms a network by scanning for an existing network. If an existing network is not found, the node operates as a network controller node of the first network and admits at least one client node to the first network. As a network controller node, the node designates one of the client nodes as a scout node. The scout node removes itself from the first network and scans for a second network. If the scout node does not return to the first network after a predetermined time, it is assumed that the scout node has found a second network. The network controller node of the first network then designates the remaining client nodes as scout nodes, and then joins the second network as a client node. Therefore, multiple networks are avoided.

Abstract: Extension springs that can be manufactured to a small size with a precise free length are described herein. An extension spring comprises a first drawbar member and a second drawbar member that extend along a same direction. The extension spring further comprises a compression spring coil that surrounds respective portions of the draw bar members. At either end of the spring coil are positioned end caps that surround the drawbar members. The end caps provide flat surfaces on which the ends of the spring coil rest in a resting position of the extension spring. The end caps are held against bent ends of arms of the drawbar members by tension of the spring coil. When the drawbar members are drawn apart from one another, the end caps compress the spring coil. Compression of the spring coil causes forces that resist the motion of the drawbar members apart from one another.

Each annular structure may have a top surface, a side wall, and a circumferential rib with a plurality of flanges coupled to the circumferential rib. Each flange may include an inwardly projecting portion, and the plurality of flanges may be collectively configured to secure a corresponding container within the annular structure. A first annular structure may be detachably coupled to a second annular structure by a tearable first tab, and a third annular structure may be detachably coupled to a fourth annular structure by a tearable second tab. The container carrier may be configured to separate into a first truncated carrier and a second truncated carrier when tearing operations are performed on both the first tab and second tab.

Abstract: A container carrier and manufacturing method therefore are provided. The container carrier may include a plurality of annular structures connected by bridges. The annular structures may include a side wall formed of side wall portions separated by side wall voids. Each side wall portion has an upper and a lower side wall segment joined at a ledge, with the upper side wall segment having a smaller diameter relative to the lower side wall segment of the side wall portion. Flanges are positioned at the bottom of each side wall void to collectively engage containers. The bottom portion of the lower side wall segment has an inner diameter that is larger than the outer diameter of the upper side wall and smaller than the outer diameter of the ledge such that the bottom of a first container carrier will rest upon the ledge of a second, same-shaped container carrier when stacked.
