Abstract: Dynamic retry techniques can be leverage by messaging centers to adapt their profiles for a variety of mobile devices including internet-of-things (IoT) devices. The network can utilize a look up table that has real time updated mapping of possible retry profiles against device categories, their groupings, priorities, and/or service level agreements with external IoT providers. For example, a messaging retry algorithm can adjust its upper bounds based on communication received from peer networking functions during the initial registration with the network or as part of the updates due to ongoing IoT device activity.

Abstract: Grooming tools are provided, including a brush configured for removing debris and hairs, including at least one surfaced body having a first pad, a plurality of first bristles extending from the first pad, one end of each first bristle being connected to the pad, and the bristles being helical in shape. A multi-purpose comb includes a housing having a pair of sidewalls defining a central cavity, and a plurality of foldable combs pivotably mounted at corresponding ends to the housing for insertion into, and withdrawal from the cavity.

Abstract: A brush configured for removing debris and hairs is provided. Included in the brush are at least one surfaced body having a pad, and a plurality of first bristles extending from the pad. One end of each first bristle is connected to the pad, and an opposite free end of each first bristle has a radially extending head portion. At least one additional head portion is disposed in a spaced relationship along a longitudinal axis of the first bristle.
