20140237044 | ARCHITECTED DATA TRANSFER - Techniques for architected data transfer are described. A controller maintains a network information database representing overarching knowledge of the network, such as the underlying communication infrastructure, resource consumption limits, and segment locations. The controller uses the information stored in the network information database to direct transmitters to transfer data segments to receivers in a manner that ensures relatively predictable resource consumption. In one approach, the controller receives a request to transfer data to a receiver. The controller, based on the information contained in the network information database, computes an optimal set of transmitters to participate in the transfer. The controller sends each transmitter in the optimal set an instruction assigning that transmitter to transfer one or more segments of the data to the receiver. Each transmitter, upon receiving the instructions, sends their respectively assigned data segments to the receiver. | 08-21-2014 |

20130206183 | BRUSH WITH STRUCTURE FOR HAIR REMOVAL - A hair brush that permits quick and easy removal of hair has a handle attached to a head. The head is made up of at least two frames that are mounted to the handle through cantilevers that permit movement of the frames relative to one another. The bristles are mounted to the frames, preferably in single rows. A force applied to one frame moves that frame relative to the other frame and the handle, thereby permitting the user to reach between the frames to remove any hair that is caught in the bristles. The brush allows a gap between the bristles to be enlarged, thereby making removal using human fingers much easier. Repeated movement and return of the frames to their resting position can cause the hair fibers to work away from the bristle bases and make removal much easier. | 08-15-2013 |
