  • Patent number: 8015945
    Abstract: An adjustable feeder attachable to a feed hopper includes a base plate that is connected to a motor. A series of recessions are evenly spaced along the outer edge of the base plate, and a plurality of arms are evenly disposed about outer edge of said base plate corresponding to the recessions. Each arm has a proximal end connected to the base plate and a distal end pivotable about the proximal end from a confined position proximate the base plate to an extended position away from the base plate. When the arms are in the confined position, the feeder is easily stored and transported. When the arms are in the extended position, the feeder is connectable to the bottom surface of the feed hopper, with a funnel attached to said base plate being positioned proximate a dispersing aperture in said feed hopper. Feed will travel through the funnel to a spin plate connected to the motor for the spin plate to distribute feed to the area surrounding the feeder.

  • Publication number: 20090273481
    Abstract: A solar-charged power source for use in powering an electronic device, such as a game camera, comprises a housing, a photovoltaic cell provided on an upper surface of the housing, a battery and electronic circuitry, including a microcontroller, contained within the housing. A display is mounted on an outer surface of the housing and provides a user selectable indication of a microcontroller determined condition of the power source including the current charge state of the battery, a real time solar value indicating the electrical current production of the photovoltaic cell, a computed daily solar average and a weekly solar average of the current produced by the photovoltaic cell, based on the energy consumption requirements of the powered device.
