20110273291 | Drowning prevention system - A method for providing a security barrier proximate a body of water such as a lake or a swimming pool. One or more beams—preferably infra red light beams—define the barrier. A detector is positioned to monitor each beam so that a moving object “cutting” the beam can be detected by a controller in communication with the beam or beams. A motion detector monitors for motion in a broad area around the location of the security perimeter. The motion detector is also in communication with the controller. The controller deactivates the beams and relies solely on the motion detector when no objects are near the perimeter. Once the motion detector senses an object in the area of the perimeter, however, the controller activates the beams. If an object then interrupts a beam, the controller activates an alarm. | 11-10-2011 |

20160108978 | Spring-Based Disc Brake Pad Cushions - Cushions for disc brake pads are disposed between the brake pads and their caliper pistons or caliper fingers. The cushions possess such characteristics of resilience that, during braking action, brake pads follow irregularities and ride over high spots on rotor faces. This action significantly reduces uneven frictional drag, which lowers braking temperature increasing braking efficiency and brake system longevity. Each cushion comprises a resilient body which is further comprised of either a material, such as an elastomeric pad, or a structure such as a compressible spring or other apparatus. | 04-21-2016 |

20100248581 | Castle and Moat Beach Toy - A beach toy kit that presents a compact unit with everything a child needs to have fun at the beach. The beach toy kit includes a castle, a ramp, a bridge, a moat, a sand sifter, a shovel, a boat, and a vehicle. The castle can be used as a play unit, a sand mold, or a storage unit, and is provided in multiple pieces that are capable of stacking and nesting. The ramp is provided in multiple, connected pieces that can be disassembled to allow for compact storage. The ramp is multi-functional in that it can be used as a play vehicle driving surface, a shovel, and a closure device for the castle to retain items inside the castle. The bridge is also multi-functional, in that it can be used as a bridge to span the width of the moat and can be connected to the castle to serve as a handle. The moat is a water resistant or impervious sand liner that can be recessed into the sand to provide a water channel for the boat. The moat is constructed of a flexible material which allows the moat to be compactly stored within the castle. The sand sifter also is multi-functional, and can be used simply as a sand sifter and also as a closure device for the castle to retain items inside the castle. | 09-30-2010 |
20120156958 | Apparatus and Method for Digging and Lining a Moat - A beach toy is provided to make a moat that is shaped and dimensioned to correspond with an impermeable moat liner. The beach toy includes a shovel, a cord, and a stake. The cord interconnects the shovel and the stake. In use, the stake is inserted into a porous medium. Next, the shovel is pulled away from the stake until the cord is taut. The blade of the shovel is inserted into the porous medium and moved about the stake while keeping the cord taught to remove material and form a annular-shaped moat. | 06-21-2012 |

20110235550 | NETWORK LAYER TOPOLOGY MANAGEMENT FOR MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORKS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - The approach for managing the topology in a MANET includes, at the network layer of a wireless mobile node, operating a link state or other routing protocol to discover routes from the at least one wireless node to other wireless nodes within the MANET. The routing protocol includes the use of a global topology database storing global network topology information. The method also includes, at the network layer, providing the global network topology information from the global topology database of the routing protocol to the MAC sublayer. Also, at the data link layer, the MAC sublayer is controlled to perform neighbor connection management based upon the global network topology information from the global topology database. The approach may provide enhanced QoS, latency and resistance to link and node failures within MANETs. | 09-29-2011 |

20090034446 | MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORK PROVIDING COMMUNICATION LATENCY REDUCTION FEATURES AND RELATED METHODS - A MANET may include a plurality of MANET nodes each comprising a wireless transceiver and a controller cooperating therewith for establishing a wireless communication link with an adjacent MANET node based upon a time division multiple access (TDMA) implementation. The TDMA implementation may use a repeating scheduling of a plurality of temporally spaced-apart time slot units within a control epoch to thereby reduce a latency of communication. | 02-05-2009 |
20090034491 | MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORK PROVIDING DESIRED LINK DELAY OFFSET WITHOUT GUARD TIMES AND RELATED METHODS - A MANET may include a plurality of MANET nodes each including a wireless transceiver, a position determining device, and a controller cooperating with the wireless transceiver and position determining device for establishing a wireless communication link with an adjacent MANET node based upon a time division multiple access (TDMA) implementation. The TDMA implementation may use time slots without using a range dependent guard time therein. The controller may further determine a range to the adjacent MANET node, and schedule time slots to offset a link delay in a received signal from the adjacent MANET node based upon the determined range. | 02-05-2009 |

20110253755 | Device for use in folding fitted sheets - A fitted bedsheet folding aid includes a telescoping left rod assembly having a pair of door hangers attached thereto for supporting the fitted bedsheet folding aid over the top of a door. A telescoping right rod assembly longitudinally abuts the left rod assembly and is attached thereto by means of a hinge to permit the right rod assembly to be rotated clockwise 180 degrees away from the door from an open position in which it is longitudinally aligned with the left rod assembly to a closed position in front of the left rod assembly. The length of each of the telescoping rod assemblies is adjustable to accommodate king, queen, double or twin fitted sheets. A spring-loaded tip member at each end of the telescoping rod assemblies is urged outwardly to maintain taut a sheet spanning the telescoping rod assemblies. A spring clip mounted on the left rod assembly proximate the hinge provides a point of attachment of the top edges of the sheet spanning the telescoping rod assemblies, midway along the span. | 10-20-2011 |
