  • Patent number: 11811642
    Abstract: A MANET protocol, comprising: receiving a data packet (DP) from a current sender (CS) by a recipient, defining: an identity of the CS, a prior sender (PS) from which CS received DP, and a target recipient (ID), a count (HC) of hops previously traversed by DP, and a sequence identifier (SI); updating a forwarding table (FT) to mark CS as being reachable in one hop, and PS as being reachable in two hops via CS as next hop; determining if ID is the recipient; determining whether to rebroadcast by recipient, if and only if the SI is not present in a list of prior SIs; and selectively rebroadcasting DP by recipient in dependence on said determining, modified by: replacement of CS with an identity of the recipient, PS with CS, and ID with a next hop from the FT if present, and incrementing HC.

  • Patent number: 10400196
    Abstract: A natural laundry detergent, including an emulsifier in an amount of from about 20% to about 40% by weight of the composition, a natural surfactant in an amount of from about 3.0% to about 23% by weight of the composition, water in an amount of less than about 60% by weight of the composition, a saponified oil in an amount of from about 0.50% to about 10.5% by weight of the composition, an organic chelating agent in an amount of from about 0.10% to about 2.5% by weight of the composition, one or more preservative in an amount of from about 0.10% to about 2.0% by weight of the composition, and a polymeric thickening component in an amount of from about 0.05% to about 1.0% by weight of the composition.

  • Patent number: 7380881
    Abstract: An apparatus—which could be a chair (10), but could also be an apparatus that supports a person in other than a seated position—comprising a moveable platform (including a seat (12) in case of a chair) urged always toward a neutral position when a person is seated or otherwise positioned on the apparatus (10). The motion of the platform/seat (12) toward and away from the neutral position is constrained so that the platform/seat (12) remains at least approximately horizontal in its orientation relative to the floor on which the apparatus/chair (10) is positioned even when traveling along a path not horizontal to the floor, i.e. e.g. along a path inclined to the floor. A method is also provided in which the apparatus/chair (10) is used to provide lower-back therapy.
