Abstract: Disclosed herein are a drone detonator for animal and bird control and a method for animal and bird control using the same. The detonator may include an actuator, a firing rod and a blank cartridge. The detonator may be detachably coupled to a drone. The actuator may move the firing rod from a first position to a second position to trigger detonation of the blank cartridge during drone flight. The actuator may be in communication with a remote control source. A method of animal and bird control using the drone detonator may include attaching the detonator to a drone, flying the drone to a target zone, and detonating the blank cartridge at the target zone.

Abstract: Improvements in an expanding arrowhead where the initial launching thrust of launching an arrow keeps the blades retracted within the head of the arrow. The blades remain retracted because the center of mass of the blades is on the opposite side of the rotational pivoting axis of the blades. When the blades contact a target a wing tip on the blades pull the blades open. There are two or three blades that can be retained within the head of the arrow. The blades are loosely retained in a retracted orientation for transportation. The retention is sufficient to overcome the forces or gravity yet release with slight force on then ends of the blades. When the arrow is pulled through the wound track the blades fold back into the head or body.

Abstract: Improvements in a projectile launcher is disclosed. The launcher converts an airsoft gun to fire paintballs to handle feeding either airsoft projectiles or paintball projectiles depending upon the installed kit. The launcher includes a hydraulic damper allows the fire and reload to operate in a controlled motion that allows a projectile to be fires and the next projectile to the loaded in a rapid succession. An improved magazine allows multiple different types of projectiles to be installed in the magazine. An interchangeable trigger mechanism and interchangeable barrel to launch different diameters of projectiles. Different types of firing mechanisms can be removed and interchanged in the launcher. In addition to the barrel can also be changes as the projectile is changed.

Abstract: A system and method for conveying a bird or animal repelling object along a path, comprising a line for conveying at least one bird or animal repelling object, the line configured to define a predetermined path. The bird or animal repelling object is coupled to the line, and at least two spaced apart supporting braces operatively engage the line and provide support thereto, wherein the line is suspended in the air. The system further includes a drive unit connected to the line and adapted to control the motion of the line with respect to the supporting towers. At least one cover is attached to at least one of the towers in alignment with the path of the line and is configured to shield the object from view when the object is disposed therein.

Abstract: A custom designed and personalized virtual time piece comprises the image of a case, the image of a face, a time keeping mechanism, the image of an hour hand spindle and the image of a minute hand spindle. A personal photographic image provided by a customer is divided into a torso and head portion, a first appendage portion and a second appendage portion. The image of the second appendage portion provides the hour hand of the virtual time piece and the image of the first appendage portion provides the minute hand of the time piece. The torso and head portion appears to be disposed between the hour hand and the minute hand.
