Embodiments herein are generally related to apparatus and methodologies for improved screening of important biological states in animals. The apparatus and methodologies comprise the use of high-resolution infrared thermography images collected about an animal to obtain both thermal information and behavioural information about the animal, wherein both thermal and behavioural information can be used to generate a comprehensive thermal prolife value that is indicative of the biologically important state in the animal.

A system and method for remote monitoring and command and control of one or many offshore aquafarms is provided. Operators are able to securely access web applications and services hosted in the cloud through which husbandry functions such as feeding fish, cleaning the cage and removing mortalities can be automatically scheduled and executed. Offshore aquafarms relay information, such as environmental sensor data and video feeds back to the cloud to be viewed by the operators.

A sensor device, monitoring device, and method for automatically matching the sensor device attached to an animal with an ID tag attached to the animal, wherein the monitoring device receives information related to the ID tag from an ID reader device and receives sensor device information from the sensor device, where the sensor device information includes a sensor device identity information and an indication that transmission of the sensor device information from the sensor device was triggered by an ID reader device, the ID tag and the sensor device being determined to be attached to the same animal based on time information associated with the information related to the ID tag and the sensor device information.

A method of tracking an animal in a population of animals is disclosed that includes applying a visual identifier to the animal, associating reference identifier data of the visual identifier to animal data of the animal, capturing a digital image of the visual identifier applied to the animal, recognizing the visual identifier by digitally processing the captured digital image, and identifying the animal upon recognition of the visual identifier.

A three-dimensional accelerometer in an animal tag registers a first set of acceleration parameters expressing a respective acceleration of the tag along each of three independent spatial axes. A processor in the tag derives a respective estimated gravity-related component in each parameter in the first set, and compensates for the respective estimated gravity-related components in the first set to obtain a second set of acceleration parameters representing respective accelerations of the animal tag along each of three independent spatial axes each in which the parameter is balanced around a base level with no influence of gravitation. The processor determines behavior-related data of rise-up and/or lie-down movements of an animal carrying the animal tag based on deviations in a single parameter in the second set of acceleration parameters relative to the base level.

The present disclosure relates to devices for controlling pests, and, more specifically, to devices for monitoring and communicating the presence of pests, and eliminating pests. The pest control system comprises a frame configured to be removably positioned in a pest control station, a panel pivotally coupled to the frame, and pest control device positioned in the frame.

A device comprises a dispenser assembly comprising a frame having a first surface and a second surface. The frame defines a pathway, an inlet opening in the first surface of the frame and a drain opening in the second surface of the frame. The inlet opening and the drain opening may provide access to the pathway. The device also includes a moveable member having at least one bore oriented perpendicular to the pathway. The moveable member may be translatable within the pathway between a first position and a second position.

A treadmill may include two separate left and right belts rotating around two sets of rollers, four legs having an adjustable height via air suspension to customize an inclination of the treadmill, a thermoelectric assembly, a fragrance assembly having a rotating fragrance cartridge to emit various smells toward a user of the treadmill, a display on which exercise programs are played, and an attachment module having a dispensing tray on which treats are dispensed. A handle of the treadmill may have a sensor to sense a height and front-rear position, and a belt divider provided between the left and right belts may have position or proximity sensors to sense a left-right position. An inclination of the treadmill may be automatically adjusted according to positions detected by the sensors, and the fragrance assembly, attachment module, and inclination may be automatically operated in accordance with an exercise program played on the display.
