Abstract: A coordinator communication device operates in a communication network according to a communication protocol that defines repeating time cycles and specifies that each of multiple communication devices is provided a respective transmit opportunity in each time cycle. The coordinator communication device determines a number of follower communication devices in a communication network while the follower communication devices are selecting transmit opportunities using respective initial device identifiers. The coordinator communication device determines a quantity of transmit opportunities to be provided in each of multiple time cycles during which the follower communication devices are selecting transmit opportunities using respective new device identifiers. The coordinator communication device determines the quantity of transmit opportunities at least by using the number of follower communication devices.

Abstract: A rock, stone, semi-precious crystal, or mineral stone material(s) shaped and formed to be used to provide and improve sexual stimulation to a user. The rock, stone, semi-precious crystal, or mineral stone sexual stimulation tool is of a sufficient weight and size to reproduce the weight and sensation of a penis. In one embodiment, the present invention comprises a smooth oblong-shaped rock of various lengths and diameter. In another embodiment, the invention is shaped like a dildo or other phallic device. In another embodiment, the invention has an internal chamber for the addition of vibration-producing device or a heating element, in which a controlled trigger permits the user to activate continuous vibration or to retain a particular temperature.

Abstract: A Bluetooth enabled device can include a transceiver that broadcasts and receives radio signals during a communication session and a processor with programmed instructions to modify a device name during connection setup for the communication session and to return the device name to a non-modified name at a time after connection setup has been completed or after the communication session ends. Another Bluetooth device can include a transceiver that broadcasts and receives radio signals during a communication session and a processor with programmed instructions to search for at least one device with a certain modified device name to initiate the communication session.
