Abstract: A smart pet feeder assembly may include a hopper, a feed chute configured to direct feed towards a bowl, and a feed dispensing assembly configured to selectively deliver feed from the hopper to the feed chute. The feed dispensing assembly may include a spin plate, a motor mount, a motor, and one or more of a diverter blade or a center spacer. The spin plate may be configured to receive feed from the hopper. The motor mount may be configured to be supported by one of the hopper or the feed chute, and to support the motor and spin plate. The diverter blade may include a feed engagement portion for redirecting the feed received by the spin plate off of the spin plate. The center spacer may be positioned on the on the spin plate and be configured to divert feed away from a center of the spin plate.

Abstract: Fish attractor and escape habitat systems are disclosed. The fish attractor and escape habitat systems include a pyramid-shaped base structure having a plurality of side walls forming an interior space and having an open bottom and an open top, where the side walls include elongated slots for fish to swim into and out of the interior space and brace slots for receiving braces that provide shade for the fish. Spawning devices and conservation systems for fish forage growth are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides fish attracting systems and habitats. The fish attracting systems are designed to mimic sunken grass-like vegetation that will move and wave like other aquatic vegetation, for example, hydrilla or milfoil, in order to attract fish, provide a hiding place for fish, serve as a location for fish to attach their eggs and provide a food source for the fish. The fish attracting systems are also designed to mimic one or more lily pads that are buoyant and are designed to float, creating shade underneath.

Abstract: Selection devices are provided that comprise a sheet mechanically attached above the surface of a base such that prize or other selection references can be positioned and displayed at different selectable locations on the device. The sheet may mechanically attach above the surface of the base by interacting with the base at a plurality of locations on the base. The sheet may mechanically interact with, for example, radially-oriented, ribs projecting in wheel spoke-like locations above the surface of the base. Paper or cards placed between such ribs and also between the base and clear sheet may display information about individual selectable items that are won or otherwise selected based on a spin of the wheel.
