BKC,
Same title, same abstract, same inventor, same assignee. Different date though. I'm not sure what to make of it, other than either way nothing to get too excited over. I couldn't find a link to the full text of the 2017 patent that you posted BKC. If you find a full text link, we can compare it to the earlier one I posted and settle this.
Best regards,
BearDownAZ
