  • Publication number: 20190098010
    Abstract: Systems and methods for securing a network, for admitting new nodes into an existing network, and/or 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 controller node. Thereafter, if a new node attempts to enter the network, and also for example has been triggered by a user, the network controller may determine, based at least in part on parameters within the new node and the network controller, whether the new node can enter the network.

  • Patent number: 10218528
    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.

  • Publication number: 20190016515
    Abstract: A container carrier and manufacturing method therefor are provided. The container carrier may include an integrally molded body with a top surface, a bottom surface, and a plurality of annular structures. Each annular structure may connect to at least one adjacent annular structure and may include a circumferential rib with a plurality of flanges, which are collectively configured to secure a container. An integrally formed handle may extend upward from the body of the container carrier. The handle may include a graspable region and a bifurcated region that forms a pair of arms that connect to the body and support the graspable region in an upright configuration in an unbiased state. The arms may flex such that an intersection of the bifurcated region and graspable region moves to accommodate a downward flexion of the handle when a downward biasing force is applied to the handle in a biased state.
