I am presenting this as a simple pattern technique rather than an AIC since it is such an easy pattern to spot. It consists of 2 single digit AIC's which are connected together at both ends. In this example, the pattern is both a 4 and an 8 2-string kite with cells labeled *. It is easy to show that the cells r1c7 and r9c3 in which the 4 and 8 AIC's are merged must be either 4 or 8. Hence the 235 cell eliminations. The 4 cell elimination in r7c9 is a continuous loop cell elimination.

Edit: I initially thought that this might be a type of M-Ring but the two 48 cells (r1c4 and r9c3) in the continuous loop are conjugate pairs rather than twin pairs as in an M-Ring. Therefore I now I think that this should be classified as a hidden W-Ring.

Since there are 4 distinct forms of a single digit 4 cell AIC's and since the two 4 cell AIC's do not have to be the same form, I count 16 different forms for this type of W-Ring.
