TEMPERATURE-REGULATED LIQUID CONTAINER
A temperature regulation system including a first body forming a first interior cavity and a second body forming a second interior cavity. The first body includes a first opening defined in a wall of the first body. The first interior cavity is in fluidic communication with the first opening and the first interior cavity is configured to contain a liquid. The second body includes a second opening defined within a wall of the second body. A first temperature control module can be disposed within the second body and can include a fan. The first temperature control module is in fluidic communication of a fluid comprising air with the first interior cavity via the first and second openings. The fan is configured to direct a flow of air from the second interior cavity to the first interior cavity at a location adjacent the liquid.
Livestock water heater with a controlled composition dispenser and related method
A portable submersible livestock water quality dispensing device and design for a livestock drinking station is provided. The portable submersible livestock water quality dispensing device has a heating element and a variable pressure pump with internal compartments or inserts for accommodating biocides, minerals, vitamins and medicaments and preferably a rotatable circulation device and method for their controlled release and dosing.
Method and system for remote monitoring of vegetation
A system for the remote care of an item of vegetation used as a potential source of food for an animal, to include at least one of a proximity tag, RFID tag, transponder device, a predetermined machine-readable pattern, and geo-location device associated with the item of vegetation, and an aerial drone. The aerial drone includes a microprocessor, a sensor coupled to the microprocessor and configured to detect the at least one of the proximity tag, RFID tag, transponder device, predetermined machine-readable pattern, and the geo-location device, and a carrier configured to carry a substance comprising at least one of a solid, gas, and liquid. The aerial drone is configured to act in response to instructions issued by the microprocessor.
Temperature-Controlled Bowl
A temperature-controlled bowl for pets and others includes a housing assembly, a cooling system, and a control system. The housing assembly, which includes multiple chambers, supports a bowl insert in its first chamber, which can be cooled or heated through thermal coupling with a thermoelectric module of the cooling system. When energized, the thermoelectric module absorbs heat on its cooling side and radiates heat on its opposite side. The cooling system further includes a conductive block, a heat sink, and a fan, most of which are isolated in a second chamber of the housing that includes a plurality of exhaust vents. A third chamber draws air into it and the fan of cooling system through a plurality of intake vents. Additional optional features include sensors to monitor the temperature of the bowl insert, feet and anti-slip components, timers, and other features for controlling the operation of the bowl.
Livestock water monitoring system
Livestock water monitoring systems and methods are disclosed herein. An example system includes a controller configured to receive sensor output from a sensor associated with an animal when the animal is in communication range of the system, monitor the sensor output to detect behavior parameters when the animal is in communication range with the base station, generate an alert message when a deviation is detected in the behavior parameters, and transmit the alert message to at least one recipient.
OZONE PET WATER DISPENSER
An ozone pet water dispenser including a main body, a control host, a pump body, a heating unit, and a hydrolytic ozone generator. The main body is formed with a storage chamber, a drinking trough, and a water return port respectively communicating with both the drinking trough and the storage chamber. The control host includes a housing mounted on the main body, a first circuit board and a switch unit disposed on the housing, with the switch unit electrically connected to the first circuit board. The pump body, electrically connected to the first circuit board, is activated by the first circuit board to pump water from the storage chamber to the drinking trough. Both the heating unit and hydrolytic ozone generator are electrically connected to the first circuit board.

HEATER FOR A HUMMINGBIRD FEEDER
A heater for a hummingbird feeder includes a waterproof heating pad with an adhesive surface for attachment to the bottom of a hummingbird feeder, and a power supply system comprising a weather-resistant transformer and power cable. The power cable may be permanently attached to the heating pad or detachably connected via weather-resistant electrical connectors. The heating pad generates thermal energy to prevent nectar from freezing, allowing hummingbirds to feed in cold weather conditions. The compact, universal design fits any hummingbird feeder model and requires no tools for installation.
