Abstract: A Point-to-point protocol configured to provide communication exchange between a first device and a second device. The point-to-point protocol is configured to negotiate an exchange rate and establish a connection for the communication exchange between the first and second device. As system dynamics change, the point-to-point protocol is also configured to permit application programs in the first device and the second device to request renegotiation of the exchange rate at any time. The point-to-point protocol is also configured to provide confirmation to a sending application program that information was delivered to a receiving application program.

Abstract: A multi-layer disposable bib is provided. The layers of material of the bib are ultrasonically bonded together. The first layer is located at the exterior surface of the bib and is made of a lightweight, non-woven material which is tear resistant. The second and third layers are composed of highly absorbent tissue paper to absorb liquids. The fourth layer is a waterproof, polypropylene film that is impermeable to liquids and also provides additional strength to the bib. The fifth layer is located at the other exterior surface of the bib and is made of the same lightweight, non-woven material as the first layer. The two outer layers of non-woven material are soft to the touch and liquid permeable. The bib may be adjustably secured about one's neck by means of straps which extend from the bib and which include an adhesive tab for attaching the straps together.
