A pet water dispenser may include a water tank including a bottom plate and at least one wall extending from the bottom plate, at least one electronic device provided in a water tank electronic component or chamber under the bottom plate, and a power supply device or assembly to supply electric power to the water tank electronic component. The power supply assembly may include a docking station provided under the bottom plate and to which external power is applied, an auxiliary battery provided in the inner assembly, a wireless power transfer device, and a reverse wireless power transfer device. The wireless power transfer device and the reverse wireless power transfer device may be connected to the auxiliary battery and the docking station.

A pet water dispenser may include a water tank having an upper opening, a pump installed inside the water tank, a water supply pipe connected to the pump to transfer water, and a water supply plate having a water supply hole through which water is supplied from the water supply pipe. The water supply plate may include a plate body inclined upward from the water supply hole to an edge of the water supply plate. Water ejected from the water supply hole may form a ring or a water wall that pets may consume from all angles around the pet water dispenser.

Metastable state spore incubation mixing systems are described. An example system includes a spores container to store spores, a nutrient container to store nutrients, a water supply line, a syringe tank, a syringe pump, an adjustable valve, a heater, and a controller. In a drawing phase of the system, a controller can cause the syringe pump and the adjustable valve to draw into the syringe tank a volume of spores, nutrients, and water to form a mixture. The controller causes the heater to heat the mixture for a period of time. In a dispensing phase of the system, the controller can cause the syringe pump to expel the mixture through the adjustable valve and into a water distribution system. The controller can direct the system through a number of other phases of operation.

The herein described Stock Tank Guard is generally comprised of a hanging guard structure situated over an existing livestock water tank. The hanging guard structure is preferably constructed of a plurality of interchangeable members, which can be configured in any shape or size to fit over any existing livestock water tank. The guard structure hangs from a plurality of support poles fixed along the exterior perimeter of the existing livestock water tank. In an alternative embodiment, the guard structure hangs from a frame system comprised of interchangeable members erected around and above the existing livestock tank. The interchangeable member feature of the described invention has the added advantage of being able to package, sell, transport, and erect the apparatus in remote locations without heavy equipment that would be necessary for fixing large steel posts in the ground.

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.

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.

Discloses is a feeder device for attracting game comprising a cuboid-shaped box comprising four vertical walls joined at the edges of a base member. Further, the feeder device includes a vertical partition wall within the cuboid-shaped box separating a feed bin unit and a reservoir unit. Further, the feeder device includes a first upper hatch for the feed bin unit and a second upper hatch for the reservoir unit. Further, the feeder device includes a motor housing comprising a motor to power an auger installed within the feed bin unit. Further, the feeder device includes a feeder attached to an outer wall of the feed bin unit, wherein the feeder receives the feed pellets from the feed bin unit through the auger. Further, the feeder device includes a trough attached to an outer wall of the reservoir unit, wherein the trough receives water from the reservoir unit.

A drinking bowl (100) for domestic animals comprises a collecting basin (1), a removable container (2), a filtering element (3) which is arranged so as to close an opening (20) of the removable container (2) and a ventilation pipe (4) which extends between opposite ends of the removable container (2) and which opens inside the removable container (2) at a first end (41, 42) and downstream of the filtering element (3) at a second end (41, 42). The second end (41, 42) further comprises a widened portion (420) which is capable of channelling a flow of liquid inside the ventilation pipe (4) for introducing liquid inside the removable container (2).
