A game scoring camera system is disclosed for capturing images of game animals for the purpose of scoring the antlers using an accepted scoring method. One or more cameras are used in a multiscopic arrangement for capturing two-dimensional (2-D) images which are then converted to three-dimensional (3-D) data models, the resulting 3-D data models being used for determining measurements of various antler structures for calculating a score for the set of antlers captured in the images, the score being based on existing antler scoring systems. Some embodiments include one or more cameras, each being mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle or drone, for capturing images during an aerial survey of game animals located within a particular area. Other embodiments include at least two cameras mounted in a stationary configuration for capturing images of game animals located within a particular area.

An actuation valve for a pest control device, the actuation valve including a primary valve seat; a secondary valve seat; a valve seal, a recess between the primary and secondary valve seats, and an actuation arm. The actuation valve includes primary and secondary valves. The recess is located between primary and secondary valve seats to receive gas from the primary valve and promote displacement of the valve seal from the secondary valve seat. Also provided are an actuation valve with magnetic elements, an actuation valve with a trigger, a pest control device, a piston assembly for a pest control device, and a pest control assembly.

A trap for capturing a plurality of animals is provided. The trap can comprise an enclosure having an opening through which the at least one animal can pass to enter the enclosure. A gate, movable between an open position and a closed position, is positioned therein the at least one opening and can be selectively moved from the open position to the closed position when desired. Methods are also provided for capturing at least one animal by providing a trap with a gate, positioning the gate in an open position, monitoring the trap until at least one animal has entered the trap, and remotely triggering the gate to move from the open position to a closed position.

A lighted pig feed dispersal apparatus having a frame, a platform, a feeder assembly, a feeder light, a solar panel, a battery, four motion sensor lights, four arm supports, and four extension arms. The frame has four legs, each of which has a distal end and a proximal end, and the proximal end of each leg is attached to the platform. The feeder assembly is situated in a center of the platform. The feeder assembly includes a barrel, and the feeder light is situated underneath the barrel. The solar panel is configured to power the feeder light, and the battery is situated inside of a top part of the barrel. The motion sensor lights extend outwardly from the top part of the barrel. The four arm supports that extend outwardly from a side wall of the barrel and are disposed about a perimeter of the top pan of the barrel. The four extension arms are configured to slide onto the four arm supports.

The disclosed implementations offer techniques for using different motion sensitivity settings for a trail camera to flexibly control how the trail camera captures images. For instance, a trail camera can be provided with multiple motion sensors configurable to different sensitivities, and can have different image capture settings depending on which motion sensor triggers. In other implementations, a single motion sensor can output a magnitude of a detection signal to similarly control image capture settings.

The present invention relates to a pest identification and information monitoring system through image analysis and a monitoring method using the same, and more particularly, to a pest identification and information monitoring system through image analysis, which obtains pest images by photographing pests using image input means, compares the learning model built for each pest with the pest image to calculate the degree of similarity, and specifies the pest of the acquired image based on the calculated degree of similarity, and recommends information or control methods related to the pest, and a monitoring method using the same.

This disclosure relates to methods and systems for repelling one or more fish eating predators (4) from a fish-containing area (6) within a sea, fjord, river or lake, wherein a moving image of a predator (18) of the one or more fish eating predators (4) is provided at and/or near a boundary of the fish-containing area (6).

An electricity production module comprising at least one photovoltaic panel (P), characterized in that it further comprises scaring means (E) for chasing away animals, and in particular birds, and detection means (D) capable of detecting the presence of animals that are close to or on the photovoltaic panel (P), the detection means (D), in the presence of an animal, delivering a presence signal capable of triggering the scaring means (E).

In example embodiments, an apparatus includes a microphone, an emitter follower stage having an input coupled to the microphone, and an amplifier stage coupled to an output of the emitter follower stage. The amplifier stage is powered by a positive voltage regulator and a negative voltage regulator. In some embodiments, the microphone and the emitter follower stage are both referenced to a ground connection and are both biased by the positive voltage regulator. The output of the emitter follower stage may have an impedance that is an order of magnitude less than an impedance of the microphone. In some embodiments, the apparatus may be used to detect ultrasonic signals, such as those emitted by animals such as bats, rodents, and pest insects.

A trap for large animals. The system utilizes multi-containment areas for improved efficiency in herd animal trapping. The outer containment zone of the system is designed in such a way to promote animals further into the inner containment zone. The improved efficiency lowers overall cost of trap operation in terms of time, consumable bait replenishment and number of attempts on target animal groups. The system allows for independent and remote actuation of containment zone gates. Data is transmitted to a remote user and remote actuation of attracting or deterring audio can be done during trapping process. The architecture of the trap dissuades animals capable of jumping from doing so over the containment walls.
