Abstract: A siding splice joint contains: a body, multiple washers, and multiple screws. The body includes a first face, a second face, and multiple through holes. A respective washer is injection molded on a respective through hole and includes a thin portion, a thick portion, a connection portion, and a lock orifice. The thick portion of the respective washer is connected on the first face, the thick portion of the respective washer is connected on the second face, and the connection portion is inserted through the respective through hole. A respective screw includes a head, an extension shank integrally extending from the head, and a tip formed on the extension shank away from the head. The extension shank is screwed in the locking orifice of the respective washer so that the respective screw is not locked on but connected with the respective washer.

Abstract: A method for multicasting multimedia information from a transmitting device to multiple receiving devices on a wireless local area network is provided herein. According to the method, the transmitting device, based on the periodical polling of all receiving devices, specifies one of the receiving devices as a master receiving device, and then notifies all receiving device about the MAC address of the selected master receiving device. The receiving devices then change the MAC address of their own network interfaces to the MAC address of the master receiving device by MAC cloning or spoofing. As such, when the transmitting device delivers the multimedia information using one-to-one communications with the master receiving device, the rest of the receiving devices would receive their transmitted information as well.
