Apparatuses and methods for providing voltage to a metal layer of an optical cable are provided. The metal layer may be configured to provide an electric shock to an animal upon contact.

The present invention relates to an animal deterrent device for deterring animals while traveling outdoors on foot. The device is primarily comprised of a body having at least one handle, at least one light, at least one speaker, and at least one shocking mechanism. The device can be carried while a user is walking outdoors to protect against attacks by dogs or other animals by producing loud sounds from the speaker and flashing lights from the light. Further, the shocking mechanism can be activated by a trigger, such that a prong is propelled from the mechanism and sticks into the body of the animal, delivering an electric shock via a generator of the mechanism and a wire that is connected to the generator and the prong.

The present invention is a pet training pad comprising a first end of a first conductive wire and a first end of a second conductive wire connected to a main controlling device, while a second end of the first conductive wire and a second end of the second conductive wire remain open. When a pet goes onto the pet training pad, the pet's foot makes contact with the first conductive wire and the second conductive wire at the same time, establishing an electrical circuit via the pet's foot. The main controlling device detects that the electrical circuit and then sends an electric shock current to the first conductive wire, thereby shocking the pet which will guide the pet to form a habit of not going to the position where the pet training pad is located.

A wildlife exclusion system for railway tracks is provided which includes an exclusion arrangement positioned to span across the railway tracks at a location along a length of the railway tracks. The exclusion arrangement extends generally perpendicular to the railway tracks and has a series of conductive elements spaced apart from each other to form an exclusion are configured to provide an electric shock to wild animals when particular conductive elements within the exclusion area are bridged thereby. Methods of installing a wildlife exclusion system and methods of discouraging wild animals from traveling along railway tracks are also provided.

A pet location monitoring and deterrent system is provided. The system includes a first pet collar assembly that transmits a first RF signal. The system includes a first pillar assembly having a first control module, a first RF receiver module, an infrared photodetector array, a first wireless transceiver circuit, and a first warning light. The system includes a second pillar assembly having a second control module, a second RF receiver module, an infrared phototransmitter array, and a second wireless transceiver circuit. The first and second pillar assemblies are disposed a predetermined distance apart from one another such that a warning area is defined in front of and proximate to the first and second pillar assemblies and a keep-out area is defined behind and proximate to the first and second pillar assemblies.
