  • Animal training systems and methods for training animals not to pull excessively on leads
    Patent number: 8402924
    Abstract: Systems and methods for training animals not to pull excessively on leads. Some systems include a tension detector, a first stimulator adapted to emit a first stimulus, a second stimulator adapted to emit a second stimulus that is different than the first stimulus, and a controller adapted to actuate the emission of the first stimulus in response to the tension in the lead exceeding a predetermined force and to actuate the emission of the second stimulus in response to the tension in the lead exceeding the predetermined force for a predetermined length of time. Some methods include detecting that a tension in the lead exceeds a predetermined force, automatically emitting the first stimulus, and if the tension in the lead exceeds the predetermined force for a predetermined length of time, automatically emitting the second stimulus.

  • Electromagnetic communications and switching system
    Patent number: 4688037
    Abstract: An electromagnetic communications and switching system provides for line-of-sight remote selection and actuation of a wide variety of apparatus. The system has a plurality of radiating antennas having independent components defining a reference coordinate frame. A transmitter is provided for applying electrical signals to the antennas which generate a plurality of radio frequency electromagnetic fields. The signals are multiplexed so that the electromagnetic fields are distinguishable from one another. An array of control positions is provided that is fixed with respect to the reference coordinate frame. A plurality of receiving antennas are provided which are adapted for mounting on the head of an operator. The receiving antennas are provided with independent components for detecting and measuring the components of the electromagnetic fields. A sight couples the eyes of the operator and the array of control positions.
