  • Patent number: 7930993
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispenser device, in particular, a reward dispenser device, comprising at least one dispenser for the release of a dispenser material for an animal, in particular, a dog, whereby the dispenser is provided with at least one dispenser material housing and a fixing device for the carrying thereof. According to the invention, the dispenser device (52) comprises the dispenser (3) and at least one signal emitter (45), the dispenser (3) has a release mechanism (31) for the release of the or a part of the dispenser material (21), operated by remote control, in order to carry the dispenser (3) on the animal (1) the fixing device (5) is embodied as an animal fixing device (4) and the signal emitter (45), not carried by the animal (1), is embodied for the remote control operation of the release mechanism (31).

  • Publication number: 20090056640
    Abstract: The invention relates to an animal exercise device, which is designed to challenge the natural instincts of animals, in particular dogs and cats, when hunting for food or toys. According to the invention, the food and toys are displayed and then disappear before the animal has caught them. The animal finally receives the food, but only after expending a certain amount of energy, thus mirroring nature.

  • Patent number: 5262787
    Abstract: A radar performance monitor (RPM) receives a transmitted radar signal from a radar system being monitored and couples the signal to a recirculating loop comprising a SAW delay line in order to produce a series of simulated radar return signals of equal amplitude and by using the same frequency as the received radar signal providing the frequency falls within a predetermined bandwidth of the SAW delay line. The simulated radar return signals are displayed at the radar system and used to evaluate the operation and calibration of a transmitter and the sensitivity and calibration of a transmitter and the sensitivity and calibration of a receiver in the radar system. The radar performance monitor is actuated at the option of a radar operator.

  • Patent number: 4107673
    Abstract: A radar system with improved display brightness in high ambient lighting conditions and with simplified deflection and video amplifiers. The incoming radar return signals are digitized and stored in shift registers with the timing to write the data into the shift registers dependent upon the radar range setting. After the digitized radar return signals have been read into the shift registers, they are read out to the display in a constant time period independent of the range setting. The radar system may be used at closer ranges than was previously possible.

  • Patent number: 4071845
    Abstract: A radio beacon navigation system wherein buoys placed at predetermined locations in a harbor or channel transmit identification signals. Every buoy is assigned a unique carrier frequency upon which is transmitted a signal capable of identifying the buoy. Each buoy is shown on harbor charts according to the unique properties of its signal. Radio receiving means carried aboard vessels navigating through the harbor or channel include means for determining the identity of the buoy from which signals are received and the direction from which the received signals emanate.
