  • Patent number: 11250663
    Abstract: A radio mesh network gaming system comprises a gaming device that includes a controller. The controller maintains a routing table and game state information. The gaming device forms a radio mesh network along with other gaming devices. The routing table stores next hop information for communicating with other devices over the radio mesh network. The radio mesh network determines a playing area of a game and the playing area changes as gaming devices move throughout the playing area and are added or removed from the game. In one example communication between from a first and third device, the first device communicates the information to a second device in accordance with next hop information stored in the routing table of the first device. The second device then communicates the information to the third device in accordance with next hop information stored in a routing table of the second gaming device.

  • Patent number: 8121304
    Abstract: An anti-tangling device includes a headphone cord having a distal end, a male signal plug at the distal end, a proximal end, and at least one earphone at the proximal end. Each of the plug and the earphone has first or second parts of a two-part connection device. The two-part connection device removably secures the plug and the earphone to one another. In an embodiment, the plug is the first part and the earphone has a plug-in portion as the second part. The plug-in portion defines a female port shaped to removably secure the plug therein and, when secured, forms a continuous loop with the cord, the plug, and the earphone. The plug-in portion can be integral with or removably attached to the earphone. The first and second parts can be a magnet and a magnetized piece, a hook-and-loop type fastener, or parts of a press-fit snap fastener.
