A01K 15/02

US Classification:

119719, 119720, 119908, 3405733

Abstract:

An apparatus for an animal training device including audible and electrical stimulation. A transmitting unit provides control signals to a receiving unit, which includes a receiver, a processor, and a switch connected to a transformer and electrodes. The processor provides signals of that vary the current that produces electrical pulses of varying voltage levels, which are applied at the electrodes and provide electrical stimulation of an animal for training.

Assignee:

Radio Systems Corporation - Knoxville TN

International Classification:

A01K 29/00

US Classification:

119166, 119165

Abstract:

An apparatus for a self-cleaning litter box having a control system for a mechanical self-cleaning mechanism. The litter box has a turret carrying a rake. Limit switches indicate the location of the rake and the turret. The box includes an animal sensor that detects the presence of an animal in the box. A specified time after the animal leaves the box, the turret sweeps the rake through the litter, picks up the collected waste, and carries it to a waste bin, where the waste is dumped. The litter box is controlled by a processor executing a software program that monitors the instruments and sensors and controls the turret and rake motors.

US Classification:

200341, 2003022

Abstract:

A button assembly for selectively actuating a switch. The button assembly () includes a button member () for being mounted in an opening of a housing. The button member () is fabricated of a resilient material and defines an outer surface () that can be depressed to bring the button assembly () into contact with the switch for purposes of actuating the switch. The button assembly () also includes a compression ring () for being received in a bore () provided in the button member () whereby the compression ring () compresses the button member against the edges of the housing that define the opening in the housing creating a substantially liquid impervious seal and holding the button assembly () in place in the opening.

International Classification:

A01K 15/02

US Classification:

119720, 119859

Abstract:

Described is an animal training/locating device including an animal training feature, an animal locating feature, and a transmitting device for communicating with the animal training feature and the animal locating feature independently. The training device and the locator device are secured to a carrying strap that is secured to the animal such that the training device and the locator device are carried by the animal. The training device is adapted to receive a training signal and the locator device is adapted to receive a locator signal. The transmitting device transmits the training signal and the locator signal. Whether the transmitting device transmits the training signal or the locator signal is governed by the trainer. Consequently, the trainer, by way of the transmitting device, communicates with the training device and the locator device independently.
