Abstract: A mouthpiece device and method for helping human users with congested sinuses breathe freely through their mouths while sleeping while minimizing the risks of dry mouth and drooling. The device fits between the user's jaws and is configured to apply a gentle jaw and lip opening pressure sufficient to at least partially open a sleeping user's jaw and lips while the jaw and lip muscles are relaxed. At the same time, the device is configured to so that when the user, while still sleeping, activates their jaw or lip muscles to swallow, this action overcomes the gentle opening force, allowing the user to easily swallow without conscious effort. Methods of configuring the device shape and opening forces are also taught.

Abstract: In a method for controlling the delivery of short text messages or other messages in a wireless network, a source terminal transmits a message to a recipient wireless unit over the network's short messaging service (“SMS”). The message includes a message identifier, a communication identifier of the recipient wireless unit, and message content. Initially, it is determined whether the message satisfies a criterion for blocking the message. If so, the message is blocked. For example, transmission of the message may be blocked if the message identifier is not an authorized identifier. Alternatively, the message may be blocked if the message identifier is an unauthorized identifier. This may be determined by cross-referencing the message identifier to an identifier record of the wireless unit. The identifier record is a data entry, list, or other record associated with the wireless unit for purposes of screening/blocking messages.
