Abstract: An audio player comprises a means of dynamically sensing the rate of repetitive motion of the user, a means for storing digital music files, a means for retrieving and dynamically playing at least one of said music files at a rate approximately equal to the sensed rate of repetitive motion of the user, and a means for dynamically calculating and displaying information and/or statistics regarding at least one of the music file and the user. Such a device can play music, or other audio content with a repetitive beat, in substantial synchrony with the repetitive motion of the user. The device also allows the user to dynamically choose or change the music file playing. The device may detect, calculate, and display to the user various information.

Abstract: This invention is a system and involved components for staging a series of multi-compartmented, multi-tier chicken cages and loading them in a chicken house for with a chickens loader that receives chickens urged by a revolving gathering head onto a first longitudinal conveyor belt sloped upwardly to a second longitudinal conveyor belt assembly the distal end of which is vertically and horizontally positional form pivot positions at the proximal end thereof. A third conveyor system is longitudinally aligned and slideably mounted on the second conveyor assembly for extension and retraction. The belts of the three belt conveyors are operated to increase the speed of the chickens on the belts to a terminal speed in the range of from about 500 to about 1400 feet per minute, for discharge of the chickens into a facing open compartment of the chicken cage at that terminal speed.

Abstract: A series of multi-compartmented, multi-tier poultry cages are staged for loading by a poultry loader that moves transversely to the direction of a plurality of side-by-side poultry receiving and batching bins each having parallel conveyor belts longitudinally arranged for individual discharge of batches of poultry onto a conveyor belt of the poultry loader arranged for alignment with both individual bin conveyor belts, and individual front opening poultry cage compartments frontally presented by the cage stager. The stager removes a filled cage, relocates it to another position where it frontally faces in the same direction in which as an empty cage it was placed on the stager, for removal by a fork lift, while in the meantime another cage is placed on the stager and moved into position for filling, in a continuing process, until all poultry are loaded.
