  • Patent number: 10194581
    Abstract: An agricultural implement for applying an active ingredient to a geographic area includes a chassis, and at least one active ingredient tank. Each active ingredient tank is removably positioned on and carried by the chassis. Each active ingredient tank contains an active ingredient therein which is to be applied to the geographic area. Each active ingredient tank has an identification (ID) tag representing data associated with the active ingredient. An electrical reader carried by the chassis is configured for reading the ID tag and providing an output signal. An electrical processing circuit is coupled with the reader and receives the output signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9836036
    Abstract: An agricultural implement arrangement includes a container of seed having an ID tag associated therewith; an implement for applying a product to a geographic area; an electrical reader configured for reading the ID tag and providing an output signal; and an electrical processing circuit coupled with the reader and the implement. The ID tag has data representing at least one attribute associated with the seed. The electrical processing circuit receives the output signal and controls the implement, dependent upon the output signal.

  • Publication number: 20080141949
    Abstract: An animal behavior modification system kit including a receiver mountable to a collar and a plurality of pairs of electrodes. Each of the plurality of pairs of electrodes being selectively connectable to the receiver. Each of the plurality of pairs of electrodes include an electrical connection and a body. The body is made of an electrically resistive material extending from the electrical connection. At least one of the pairs of electrodes have bodies with an electrically resistive material which is different from another of the pairs.

  • Patent number: 6652308
    Abstract: An electrical distribution assembly includes a distribution block having a first electrical connector. A distribution member includes a second electrical connector, with the second electrical connector mating with the first electrical connector. A retainer clip is separate from each of the distribution block and the distribution member. The retainer clip mechanically couples with and prevents electrical decoupling of the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector.

  • Patent number: 6019066
    Abstract: An animal confinement/training system controls the behavior of the animal through electrical stimulation to the skin of the animal. A stationary first transmitter transmits an air-borne first encoded signal. A portable second transmitter transmits an air-borne second encoded signal. A receiver includes a receiver circuit coupled with a pair of electrodes. The receiver circuit is responsive to either of the first encoded signal or the second encoded signal for applying electrical stimulation to the skin of the animal with the pair of electrodes. The receiver further includes a temporary disabling device for temporarily disabling the responsiveness of the receiver circuit to the first encoded signal. The receiver circuit may also be responsive to another encoded signal from the second transmitter for actuating an illuminating light and/or audible alarm without applying electrical stimulation to the skin of the animal.
