20140379804 | CONTEXT MANAGEMENT - Systems, methods, and apparatus embodiments are described herein for context information management at the medium access control layer. In one embodiment, a system comprises a plurality of peers which communicate via peer-to-peer communications. In the system, context information may be exchanged at the MAC layer. Examples of context information include, without limitation, location information, mobility information, device capability, user information, an application category, multi-hop information, a channel condition, application information, association identifiers, and device information. Each of the plurality of peers may include a context manager that resides on each peer device. For example, a first context manager that resides on a first peer of the plurality of peers may exchange context information with a second context manager that resides on a second peer of the plurality of peers. In another example embodiment, the first peer, and in particular the first context manager that resides on the first peer, can retrieve the context information from a layer that is different than the MAC layer. | 12-25-2014 |

20120227675 | PET ENCLOSURE WITH DUAL AXES SWIVEL CONNECTOR - A dual axes swivel connector for connecting various panels to assemble a pet enclosure is disclosed. The dual axes swivel connector allows panels of the enclosure to be reliably pivoted with respect to each other. Additionally, the dual axes swivel connector allows the various panels of the enclosure to be offset with respect to each other when the enclosure is traversed to the collapsed position. The offset permits and enables the stacking of the various panels on top of each other. The dual axes swivel connector may be fabricated from a plastic material whereas the panels of the enclosure may be fabricated from a metallic material to reduce vibration noise. | 09-13-2012 |
20120272920 | PET ENCLOSURE WITH DUAL AXES SWIVEL CONNECTOR - A dual axes swivel connector for connecting various panels to assemble a pet enclosure is disclosed. The dual axes swivel connector allows panels of the enclosure to be reliably pivoted with respect to each other. The dual axes swivel connector may comprise first and second parts. The first part may be fabricated from a flexible material compared to the second part, whereas the second part may be fabricated from a more rigid material compared to the first part. The flexibility of the first part allows the first part to have a tighter fit with the wire rods. The second part has a looser fit with the wire rods but the rigidity of the second part compensates for the looser fit. When the first and second parts are interlocked, they create a tight fit which can reliably provide a hinge between the panels. | 11-01-2012 |
