Abstract: Barriers to retain livestock and deter trespassers are more easily accomplished with electric fence lines. Immediate notification of failing electrical fence systems is essential to avoid problematic conditions: livestock escape and predator entry. Interpretation of fence power output requires the Electric Fence Monitoring Method: sensor ability to read high voltages and an algorithm to translate the sensors' transcriptions. Remote locations have communication and powering limitations. With such communication methods as radio transceivers and Internet connection, it is possible to report details at remote locations to a wider scale. With such powering methods as solar voltaic cells and rechargeable batteries, it is possible to power monitoring technology in locations without direct, standard power sources. With the combination of these technologies, the Electric Fence Monitor allows for reliable and immediate notifications on conditions of an electric fence line.

Abstract: Immediate clearing of the field of view for a visual or photographic device is often essential and somewhat complicated. This loss of time and vision can have consequences on image capture quality, workman's performance, and workman's safety. The CLEAiR remedies this by pressurized air and fluid discharge over the device's area of view during live action viewing and recording. The CLEAiR 2.0 further remedies these problems by fine tune adjustment of the location and angle of incidence of the discharged air/fluid over the device's area of view. With these inventions attached to a visual/photographic device, continuous work or filming is possible without loss of time, loss of image quality, or loss of user safety.
