Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic message management system (EMS) that includes a real-time feedback loop where data is collected from the electronic messages on incoming connection attempts, outgoing delivery attempts, and message content analysis, and written to a centralized data matrix. A separate process accesses the data matrix and analyzes trends in that data. The detected data patterns, trends or behavior is based on configuration parameters for the recipient. Based on these determinations, the process is able to instruct components in the EMS to accept, redirect, refuse, modify, defer, or otherwise dispose of the connection request, the delivery attempt, or the message. Associated methods for managing the transmission of electronic messages are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for detecting unwanted electronic message transmissions on a communications network. These include establishing a database for storing metadata associated with message traffic according to at least the source addresses of the senders of electronic message transmissions. The disclosed principles also include monitoring electronic message transmissions at the certain location on the electronic communications network. Also, included is populating the database with metadata derived from analysis of the monitored electronic messages, where the metadata includes metadata derived by analyzing the contents of the monitored electronic messages.

Abstract: The modular ball track cat toy (10) includes a ball (15) disposed in a track that is expandable, i.e., modular. The modular track includes sections of track that may have different sizes and shapes. The track sections (20, 25) may be coupled by a universal connector (17). The various track sizes and shapes allow a user to set up the track in various configurations for continuously new cat play activities. Each track section (20, 25) is a tube having a top opening dimensioned so that the ball (15) can freely roll inside the tube but cannot escape the tube through the top opening. The universal connector (17) and tube sections (20, 25) have interlocking members (19, 52, 18, 50) that constrain rotational and axial movement of the tube sections (20, 25), thereby preventing the pet from dismantling or twisting the toy (10) during play.

Abstract: The pet carrier includes a pair of lateral straps attached or attachable to lateral ends of the pet transport device to form loops adapted for extending the vehicle seat belt therethrough to secure the frame of the device to the vehicle seat. The strapping system also has a third strap having one end forming a loop on the exterior of the pet carrier or transport device, and an opposite end extending into the interior of the carrier, pet seat, or other transport device and terminating in a snap hook or the like for attachment to a pet collar. The vehicle seat belt also extends through the third strap's loop so that both the carrier and a pet tether are restrained by the vehicle's seatbelt.

Abstract: An adjustable safety pet harness for dogs and cats while traveling in a vehicle and strapped to a vehicle's seat belt. The harness comprises six flexible straps, wherein three straps are affixed to a synthetic lambskin chest pad. Two of the three straps are crossed chest straps and the third strap becomes a lower body strap removably attachable to an upper body strap. The chest straps have buckles for adjustment in length to fit the pet. The chest straps are attached on top to the upper body strap and held parallel by a cross-strap. A median portion of the cross-strap supports a connector strap which has a metal D-ring on an end on the cross-strap and its opposite end fastened to the upper body strap to secure a flexible nylon webbing with a snap hook at its distal end for connection with the D-ring. The connector strap is looped around a safety belt for protection of the pet during a sudden stop or collision.
