Animal sensing system

Animal sensing systems and methods are described. An animal sensing system can include an input section with an entrance and an output section having at least two output paths each having its own exit. An animal can enter the animal sensing system through the entrance. A sensor within a sensing area of the input section can detect one or more characteristics of the animal, and can communicate the detected characteristic(s) to a central processing unit. The central processing unit can use the received data to classify the animal based on the detected characteristic(s), and then control a directional guide, such as a gate, in the animal sensing system on the basis of the classification, so as to direct the animal within the animal sensing system, such as to allow access to only one of the output paths at a time. The animal may thus be allowed to exit the animal sensing system through only one output path, directing the animal to a desired location based on the classification.

Wildlife deterring windmill
11672243 · 2023-06-13 ·

Described herein are various systems and techniques for deterring wildlife from an area proximate a windmill. A flying wildlife emitter may be utilized for such techniques. The flying wildlife emitter may output soundwaves to deter wildlife, such as birds or bats, from entering an area around the windmill. The flying wildlife emitter may include a speaker for producing sounds as well as a controller and sensors for determining conditions around the windmill and for controlling the sound produced by the speaker. An ultraviolet emitter may, additionally or alternatively, be utilized for such techniques. The ultraviolet emitter may be configured to emit ultraviolet light that may attract wildlife away from such areas proximate to the windmill.

20220055226 · 2022-02-24 · ·

In order to simplify the control configuration for controlling a driving device and improve reliability of the operation of the driving device, an information processing device includes a detection unit and a processing unit. The detection unit detects the detection target from a captured image by using reference data that is a learning result obtained by machine learning of the detection target including the position of the center of gravity of the object in the captured image. The processing unit controls the driving device to be controlled that acts on the object having the center of gravity detected by the detection unit, by using the detection result of the detection unit.

Fly repellent system
09795128 · 2017-10-24 ·

A fly repellent system for repelling flies. A liquid-filled sphere is partially disposed inside a cone. The sphere is secured to the cone by an arc-shaped ring pivotally attached to a bottom edge of the cone. Apertures are disposed at or near a top edge of the cone. The top edge of the cone is disposed within a cover cone such that the cover cone partially covers apertures. A light source is disposed through the top edge of the cover cone. The light source has a switch is operatively connected to a battery that is operatively connected to a plurality of lights. A mounting ring may suspend the system. When the lights are turned “on”, the cover cone directs the light through the apertures to illuminate the liquid in the sphere. The illuminated sphere repels flies.

SOLAR SPECTRUM-LIKE LED STRUCTURE
20170299148 · 2017-10-19 ·

A solar spectrum-like LED structure, comprising a negative electrode for a three-dimensional integrated package, and a plurality of LED chips and resistors. The negative electrode for a three-dimensional integrated package is a three-dimensional structure comprising a plurality of planes. The plurality of LED chips is installed on the plurality of planes of the negative electrode for the three-dimensional integrated package. Light of different colors emitted by the plurality of LED chips forms a plane light source or a cone light source after being well mixed at an intersection point, thus simulating a solar spectrum. The invention enables manufacturing of a solar spectrum-like LED fluorescent lamp suitable for generating different bands of spectrums for the survival and metabolism of various organisms. In addition, the solar spectrum-like LED fluorescent lamp has a good color-rendering property and visual effect, and can be widely applied in the fields of general lighting, agriculture, animal husbandry and new biological energy sources.
