  • Publication number: 20220361472
    Abstract: A monitoring trap and classification system may help pest control professionals, landlords, and homeowners identify, monitor, and manage insects. The trap may have an adhesive area that traps an insect, as well as several features that assist in identifying the insect. A classification system may use a picture or image of the trap to extract the trap's identifier, orient and adjust the image to standardize the image's color and scale, and have the insect identified. The trap and classification system may be used by individual homeowners, tenants, landlords, farmers, and pest professionals to capture, identify, and manage insects. The classification system may reduce the complexity of counting and classifying trapped insects, and it may generate a history through a series of reminders and keeping a database of previous observations.

  • Patent number: 7845377
    Abstract: A purse or handbag is provided with a coin separator tray to facilitate access to coins that have been dropped into the purse. The coin separator tray has an elongated pan dimensioned to match the length and width of the base of the purse or handbag, and is open at one end wall. A coin-separating cover fits onto the side walls of the pan. The cover has generally horizontal shelves that overlap to define a generally horizontal elongated coin slot. Any loose coins in the purse or handbag migrate to the base and pass through the coin slot into said pan. The coins can be dispensed by opening a flap at the base of the purse.
