One general aspect includes a method of animal detection and warning, the method including: detecting, via a processor, a presence of an animal in an area beneath a vehicle; and when the presence of an animal is detected in the area beneath the vehicle, warning, via the processor, the animal to vacate the area beneath the vehicle. Other embodiments of this aspect include corresponding computer systems, apparatus, and computer programs recorded on one or more computer storage devices, each configured to perform the actions of the methods.

A pet protection system includes a leg portion having a first end having a first cross-section having a flexible opening to insert a pet foot therethrough; an angled portion coupled to the first end and having a second cross-section greater than the first cross-section; and a second end coupled to the angled portion, wherein the second end has a third cross-section greater than the second cross-section; and a body portion coupled to the leg portion, the body portion forming a loop that fits securely on a body of the pet.

An emanating device includes a substrate with a body having a first portion and a second portion, a foldable member, and first and second hinges along a longitudinal axis of the body and connected to the foldable member. The foldable member is movable between a first state, such that the member is co-planar with the first portion and second portion, and a second state, such that the foldable member is not co-planar with the first portion and the second portion.

The present invention relates to regulatory sequences. In particular, the invention relates to a regulatory nucleic acid molecule, at least part of which has a transcription initiation function directing expression of an operably associated protein encoding polynucleotide of interest to non-tassel tissue in maize, but not or substantially not to tassel.

The invention further relates to chimeric genes and expression cassettes comprising the regulatory nucleic acid molecule and to transgenic plants comprising the chimeric genes and expression cassettes.
