Publication number: 20230404060Abstract: An animal trap sensor includes a base having a distal end and a proximal end, a switch having a first metallic element and a second metallic element, and a signal unit, in which, when the first metallic element contacting the second metallic element, thereby forming a closed circuit, such that the signal unit transmits a signal to an off-site receiver. Or, an animal trap sensor includes a first portion and a second portion electrically connected with a signal unit including a power supply, in which, when the first and the second portions are disposed at a first distance between each other, thereby generating an output property, in which, when the first and the second portions are disposed at a second distance between each other, which is different from the first distance, thereby changing the output property and causing the signal unit to transmit a signal to an off-site receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Michael LAUT, Steven BOCKMANN, Gaelle FAGES, Byron REID, Chris PIENAAR, Peter JARDINE, Michael ZIMMERMANN, Stefan ENDEPOLS, Christopher R.

Patent number: 11696576Abstract: A pest monitoring system and associated method includes pest monitoring devices for placement at a site and generating a signal upon detection of a pest, and a pesticide dispensing unit including a reservoir housing a diluent and a pesticide module housing a pesticide. A computer device remotely disposed to the pest monitoring devices receives generated signals therefrom, analyzes environmental and historical factor data for the site to determine an amount and placement location of the pest monitoring devices for monitoring the site, and directs deployment of the pest control monitoring devices according to the analysis. The computer device also receives data from the pesticide dispensing unit including an amount or rate of the pesticide substance dispensed from the pesticide module, to form treatment having a concentration of the pesticide substance in the diluent, the treatment being dispensed from the pesticide dispensing unit to treat a detected pest at the site.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2018Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Byron Reid, Volker Gutsmann, Gaelle Fages, Michael Zimmermann, Chris Pienaar, Peter Jardine

Patent number: 11464221Abstract: An animal trap system includes a glue board, an animal trap accelerometer sensor, and a signal unit in close proximity to and in communications with the animal trap accelerometer sensor, wherein the signal unit also contains an accelerometer sensor. The animal trap system is capable of detecting capture events, non-capture events, false positives, and/or the type of animal captured by using differential signal analysis and machine learning techniques. When an acceleration is received by the animal trap accelerometer sensor above a pre-set acceleration threshold value, it sends a capture signal to the signal unit and if the signal unit does not receive such acceleration event, the signal unit transmits a capture signal to an off-site receiver. A method of trapping one or more animals using this system is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: BAYER CROPSCIENCE LPInventors: Gaelle Fages, Byron Reid, Homare Teramoto, Fabien Pelissier

Patent number: 11073801Abstract: The instant disclosure provides an ability to use an array of data inputs to enter a network and thereby provide a realtime improvable database. The present invention is novel in its ability to maximize the customer's interface with a pest control system, thus allowing for maximum efficiency for current and future designs as well as a high level of compatibility with ancillary regulatory, financial and planning type functions.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2018Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Inventors: Byron Reid, Volker Gutsman, Michael Zimmermann, Chris Pienaar, Gaelle Fages, Peter Jardine
