Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for estimating potential sales of animal products based on estimated animal population determined from a transaction history of sentinel products associated with particular animals. A set of sentinel products is determined that is associated with a specific type of animal. A number of the type of animal in a geographic region is estimated based on a transaction history associated with the set of sentinel products. A potential sales estimate for the geographic region is determined based on the estimated number of the particular type of animal in the geographic region.

Abstract: A combined thermal and acoustic insulator comprises a first metallic material layer formed, for example, from a metal foil, a fibrous low density material batt layer adjacent the first metallic layer, a high density plastic material layer, for example, a mass loaded elastomer, adjacent the batt material layer, and a second metallic foil layer. The first metallic material layer forms the heat exposed side and the second metallic layer forms the shielded side of the insulator. Alternatively, additional layers may be provided, for example, a third foil layer adjacent the fibrous material layer and a second fibrous layer between the third metal foil layer and the first metal foil layer.
