The present disclosure relates to a water supplier for a pet and a control method thereof, that is, a water supplier for a pet that operates a thermoelectric element by sensing the temperature of water stored in a water tub through a water temperature sensor, operates a warning unit by sensing the level of the water stored in a water tub through a water level sensor, operates a pump by sensing a pet within a predetermined distance range through a proximity sensor, and cuts power or keeps the inclination of a water dispenser horizontal by sensing the inclination of the water tub through a gyro sensor, and a method of controlling the water supplier.

Terrestrial multitasking mobile robot capable of being coupled to said structure and transporting it, through the maneuvering area (Am) and along the operating corridor (Cf) between the various bays (29), providing access to the various implements (1 to 7) arranged in the aerial magazine (Ma) or for coupling to the implements in the terrestrial magazine (Mt) used to distribute products and supplies for livestock rearing.

A filter assembly includes an end cover configured to connect with the water dispenser, and a filter housing assembled with the end cover and comprising a cavity configured to receive a filtering material. The end cover includes a body portion and a mounting portion protruding from the body portion. The mounting portion is configured to releasably attach to the water dispenser and has an oval or oval-like cross-section in a horizontal plane, and both ends of the oval or oval-like cross-section are inwardly recessed. Also described is filter assembly including at least one seal having an oval or oval-like cross-section in a horizontal plane, wherein both ends of the oval or oval-like cross-section are inwardly recessed, and wherein the at least one seal is configured to create a water-tight seal between the mounting portion and the water dispenser. A water dispenser for use with the filter assemblies is also described.

A fluid supply apparatus that can eliminate the need for a power supply source, and store fluid efficiently. The apparatus may comprise a first balloon that is formed of an elastic body to be capable of storing the fluid, a second balloon that is formed of an elastic body to be capable of storing the fluid, and has a larger contraction force than a contraction force of the first balloon, a support member that supports both of the first balloon and the second balloon, and a casing that houses the first balloon and the second balloon, and defines inflation ranges of the first balloon and the second balloon, in which the support member has a flow path formed to permit fluid communication between an interior of the first balloon and an interior of the second balloon.

In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to preventing or lessening ice in remote water tanks. The remote water tanks can include a body at least partially defining a chamber that receives a liquid and having an open top portion that provides one or more animals access to the liquid. Further, a heat exchanger can be at least partially received within the chamber, and can receive a thermal transfer fluid that is circulated therethrough to maintain a temperature of the liquid in the chamber. Also, an external heat collector can be in fluid communication with the heat exchanger to transfer solar or other heat to the thermal transfer fluid as the thermal transfer fluid is circulated therethrough.

A vehicle is provided that includes a vehicle body, a plurality of RF signal receivers located at a plurality of locations within the vehicle, a portable pet bowl configured to be transported in the vehicle body, the pet bowl including a container for holding content such as water, an RF signal transmitter located on the pet bowl for transmitting an RF signal, and a controller for processing the RF signal received by each of the plurality of RF signal receivers and determining a location of the pet bowl based on the received RF signals.
