  • Publication number: 20240311588
    Abstract: A computer system and method for identifying and monitoring animals in a confined space. A tracking apparatus is provided in proximity to the confined space that defines a plurality of separate individual tracking regions for the confined space. Each of a plurality of animals to be disposed in the confined space is associated respectively with a detection component operable to identify and detect a temperature of an animal it is associated with when detected by the tracking apparatus. Data is received in a computer monitor system from a detection component when detected by the tracking apparatus in the confined space wherein the received data includes motion and temperature data relating to an animal when located in the confined space. The tracking apparatus detects multiple animals simultaneously located in an individual tracking region.

  • Publication number: 20230394255
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying and monitoring passage of a plurality of animals in a passageway. The system includes a computer monitoring device having a processor and memory, and a detection device, communicatively coupled to the computer monitoring device. The detection device is positioned in proximity to an animal passageway. The detection device includes an antenna element configured to detect identification data from a respective detection component respectively associated with each of the plurality animals when located in close proximity to the passageway. The detected identification data includes a unique ID associated with the animal wherein each detection component consists of a capsule device configured to be located internal of an animal.

  • Patent number: 11694043
    Abstract: A computer system and method for identifying and monitoring animals in a confined space. A tracking apparatus is provided having a plurality of antenna arrays in proximity to a confined space. One or more animals to be disposed in the confined space are associated with a detection component operable to identify and detect a core body temperature of an animal it is associated with when detected by the tracking apparatus. Data is received in a computer monitor system from a detection component when detected by the tracking apparatus in the confined space. The received data identifies an animal in correlation with its motion and temperature data. Real-time position and core body temperature of a detected animal is determined while the animal is disposed in the confined space by analysis of the received data in the computer monitor system.
