Abstract: A head meat processing system and a head meat processing method. The processing system includes a rod for receiving and positioning the head, a fastener for grasping a portion of the head and a member for advancing the head onto a horn assembly while the portion is clamped and a horn assembly. The head meat processing method includes positioning a hog head above a fastener, grasping a portion of the head with the fastener, removing the portion from the head, advancing the head having the portion removed along a horn assembly and separating a lower jaw from the head.

Abstract: Eyeglasses hold a light sensor (1) positioned to receive light reflected from an eye. An electronic comparator circuit (4) uses variations of current through the sensor which occur during blinking and eye movement to produce pulses which reset an electronic timing cycle, thereby continually delaying the activation of an alarm signal (8). In the absence of eye motion for a predetermined period of time a warning tone is sounded in the preferred embodiment, followed by a full volume alarm if needed to wake a sleeping driver.

Abstract: A holding trap for small animals, most specifically rats and mice. In the preferred embodiment, a single sheet of paperboard, die stamped to a pattern and assembled by folding, forms, together; an enclosure with parallel sides and large enough for entrance of the anterior portion of an animal; an animal engaging member hinging from the entrance to the enclosure and provided at its free end with points; a mechanism for holding the hinging member, against the force of a rubber band, inward and open; and a member supported horizontally over a bait on a fulcrum and serving as a lever which, moved by an animal, releases the mechanism to position the points of the hinging member inwardly against the animal's body; creating a holding grip which increases as the animal attempts to withdraw from the trap.
