Abstract: A pet toy includes a core body and a coating layer. The core body is made of a first material. The core body includes a first core body member and a second core body member that are mated together to have a space therebetween. The coating layer covers the core body. The coating layer is made of a second material that is different from the first material.

Abstract: The system for parcel transport and tracking that operates responsive to data bearing records includes a plurality of geographically spaced repositories. The exemplary repositories each include an interior area comprised of a plurality of enclosed compartment spaces. Access to each of the enclosed compartment spaces is controlled by a respective door which is in operative connection with a respective lock. Repositories are constructed to provide a secure enclosure for the parcels housed therein when exposed to a range of environmental and operating conditions. Central control circuitry in operative connection with the repositories is operative to control access to the compartment spaces and cause the compartments to be selectively accessible so that selected parcels may be placed therein or removed therefrom.

Abstract: A wobble board includes a platform, a base having a generally flat bottom surface, and at least one compressible member positioned intermediate the platform and the base such that the platform is pivotable with respect to the base.

Abstract: A headphone system including a headphone in wireless communication with a remote-controller to be used in combination for direct communication between a first-user and a second-user. The remote-controller remotely controls functions of the headphone to interrupt a current audio output of the headphone being delivered from an audio-delivering-device. The remote-controller includes an integrated microphone and receive an audio message. Audio from the microphone is effectively instantly delivered to at least one speaker of the headphones via a wireless channel.

Abstract: A method of building a natural language understanding application is provided. The method includes receiving at least one electronic record containing programming code and creating executable code from the programming code. Further, the executable code, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to create a parse and an interpretation of a sequence of input tokens, the programming code includes an interpret-block and the interpret-block includes an interpret-statement. Additionally, the interpret-statement includes a pattern expression and the interpret-statement includes an action statement.

Abstract: A pet food container includes a hollow body including a top, a bottom, and an outer surface disposed between the top and the bottom. The top has a recessed portion defined by an inner longitudinal surface and recessed top surface. The recessed top surface includes an opening in communication with an interior of the hollow body and the inner longitudinal surface includes a latching mechanism configured to couple to a removable cap.

Abstract: An animal toy includes an elongated body portion having a first end and a second end. A first wheel is disposed on a first rotating member adjacent the first end, the first rotating member extending in a first direction, the first wheel having a first opening disposed in the first direction. A second wheel is disposed on a second rotating member adjacent the second end, the second axle extending in a second axial direction, the second wheel having a second opening disposed in the second direction. A first electric motor is configured to drive the first wheel. The second electric motor is configured to drive second wheel independently. A controller is programmed to control the first electric motor to control the rotational direction of the first wheel and control the second electric motor to control the rotational direction of the second wheel.

Abstract: A safety and arming device for a munition is operable to arm and initiate a munition dependent on determining separation from a munition platform, determining detection of free fall of the device for a first time period following separation, initiating a roll manoeuvre of the munition and determining detection of the execution of the roll manoeuvre within a second time period, and generating a munition firing signal, dependent on detection of all of separation, free fall, and the roll manoeuvre.
