WEARABLE SENSOR APPARATUS FOR MONITORING BODY TEMPERATURE OF PET
The present disclosure relates to a wearable sensor apparatus and method for monitoring a pet body temperature, more particularly, the wearable sensor apparatus being worn on a body of the pet to measure the pet body temperature such that an owner of the pet remotely receives and monitors the measured body temperature, causing no trouble on a skin of the pet even when the wearable sensor apparatus is in contact with the pet skin, and having improved thermal conductivity such that the body temperature can be accurately measured.
ANIMAL WEARABLE DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS
Methods, systems, and device for animal wearable technology are provided in accordance with various embodiments. Some embodiments include an animal wearable device that includes: a securing apparatus configured to be worn by an animal; multiple stimulation components coupled with different portions of the securing apparatus; and/or a computerized controller coupled with the securing apparatus and the multiple stimulation components. The computerized controller may be configured to provide stimulation to the animal through the multiple stimulation components. The computerized controller may be configured to separately and/or independently control each stimulation components from the multiple stimulation components. Some embodiments include a method that includes: determining one or more signals at a computerized controller coupled with a securing apparatus configured to be worn by an animal; and/or activating, based on the one or more determined signals, one or more stimulation components from multiple stimulation components coupled with different portions of the securing apparatus.
Animal Restraint System
Systems, devices and methods for restraining animals are disclosed. The system includes various collar, harness and leash designs. The collars, harnesses and leashes can include various size adjustor assemblies. The designs can be modular and scalable for improved functionality.
INTERLINKING COLLAR COMPONENTS AND COLLAR DEVICES INCLUDING THE SAME
Collar devices including interlinking collar components that have a hollow portion and a securing portion connected by a flexible portion have increased strength and security. The number of collar components included in a collar device may be adjusted in order to properly fit a collar to a particular animal. Such collar devices generally include a plurality of interlinking collar components, as well as first and second loop attachment components, which couple to respective ends of interlinked collar components. A loop with a fastening element is then inserted into openings of the first and second loop attachment components.
CORRECTIVE COLLAR UTILIZING GEOLOCATION TECHNOLOGY
The disclosed technology includes a pet collar that can be configured to determine its geolocational position and evaluate that position with respect to the geo-fence of a predetermined, geo-fenced “safe” zone. If the collar determines that its position is inside a safe zone but is near the geo-fence, the collar may be configured to provide a warning correction. If the collar determines that it is outside a predetermined safe zone, the collar can also be configured to provide a stronger correction to discourage the pet from continuing away from the safe zone. The collar may also be configured to guide the pet back to the safe zone such as by varying the strength and/or type of correction provided based at least in part on the distance of the collar from the geo-fence.
Collar tightening structure
The present invention relates to a collar (1) for pets, the collar (1) comprising a tightening structure consisting of a buckle (2) having a first projecting structure (21) formed longitudinally on the top (23a) and a second projecting structure 22a formed transversely to the center of the bottom (23b) of the buckle (2), the first and second projecting structures (21, 22a) facing one another without touching.
Light up buckle for use with a dog collar
The invention discloses a light up buckle for use with a dog collar. This buckle design comprises a Plastic Computer Board (PCB) which incorporates LED's, a mini-USB port, a switch and a rechargeable battery. The lithium-ion battery is housed within the buckle assembly and is protected from water by means of rubber seals when the buckle is in the closed or locked position. The main components are molded from translucent plastic, to allow the LED's to illuminate the assembly when switched on. There are multiple settings for the LED's to allow for a steady illumination or various flashing/pulsing settings. The buckle is intended for illumination at night to aid the visibility of an owner's canine that wears the buckle on the collar. The buckle can be fitted onto a collar strap or body harness and so has multiple uses and applications. The buckle design is rounded and has smooth edges to ensure no discomfort is experienced by the canine. There is a trigger switch located on the underside of the buckle which is operated by pressing a rubber button that protrudes from the plastic casing. The entire assembly is water-resistant, by means of two rubber components that interlock when the buckle is closed. The pressure between these two rubber plugs ensures water cannot get access to the electronics and battery.
LOCKING BUCKLE
A locking buckle comprising a first buckle member and a second buckle member. The first buckle member may comprise a first strap-receiving slot for receiving a first loop end of a strap, the first strap-receiving slot is defined in part by a strap-retaining bar and a body of the first buckle member and a strap-locking bar pivotably attached to the body of the first buckle member, the strap-locking bar pivotable between an unlocked configuration in which a strap may freely pass through the first strap-receiving slot and a locked configuration in which a strap passing through strap-receiving slot is prevented from passing freely through the first strap-receiving slot. The second buckle member is connectable to the first buckle member. The second buckle member comprises a second strap-receiving slot for receiving a second loop end of the strap.
Animal restraint system
Systems, devices and methods for restraining animals are disclosed. The system includes various collar, harness and leash designs. The collars, harnesses and leashes can include various size adjustor assemblies. The designs can be modular and scalable for improved functionality.
Animal-wearable audible communication apparatus
An apparatus for enabling audible communication between an animal and a remote handler of the animal comprises a flexible strap configured to be worn by the animal, and a bone conduction transducer coupled to the flexible strap and capable of receiving a signal representing a message from the remote handler. The bone conduction transducer is configured to generate physical vibrations based on and representative of the signal representing the message from the remote handler. The bone conduction transducer is positioned or positionable on the flexible strap so that when the flexible strap is worn by the animal, the vibrations are conducted to a skeletal structure of the animal to enable the animal to audibly perceive the message from the remote handler.
