Abstract: An animal containment device that includes a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, and at least one side wall. In one aspect, the device may also include an opening in the rear wall for insertion of a monitoring module for monitoring the animals within the device. In another aspect, the animal containment device may include walls made from a translucent material having a photosensitive material for controlling the amount of light within the animal containment device. In still another aspect, the animal containment device may include one or more sensors in the device and a monitoring linkage and display for displaying the data from the sensors.

Abstract: An animal monitoring device. In particular, the monitoring device is capable of not only identifying the animal and keeping track of its movement, but it may also be capable of monitoring ketone emissions and/or other vital health indicators of the animal. By tracking these measurements, it is possible to provide a unique indication of the health of the animal. Through data logging hardware, this device would be able log these clinical health indicators for a sufficient period of time in a non-invasive manner.

Abstract: A refrigeration system trapping device and method traps airborne liquid water and ice particles before they accumulate on evaporator coils, reducing frost deposition on the evaporator. The frost on the trapping device can be actively removed.
