Abstract: The present invention relates to a three-dimensional reflective cat collar whereby the three-dimensional reflective element is such as to promote the reflection of the light while the cat is in a position that is perpendicular to the headlights, such as while the cat is on a street, and also while the cat is in a position that is at an angle to the headlights, such as while the cat is approaching a street. The collar further serves to suppress overly long hair so that the three-dimensional reflective element remains visible. The present invention further relates to a tiered force releasable buckle whereby the tiered force releasable buckle is based upon a tiered weight class system which serves to place the feline into a specific weight class and that the release force of buckle is such as to correspond to the tiered weight class system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a domesticated collarless pet or pets containment system comprised of a series of detection sensors that serve to establish a boundary, a control means which serves to monitor the detection sensors and should a pet or pets advance beyond the established boundary the control means would activate the perceptive sanctioning means, whereby the perceptive sanctioning means may essentially be comprised of water, however the sanctioning means is environmentally friendly and harmless to all life forms. The sanctioning means could further include an audio means whereby the audio means is activated in conjunction with the perceptive sanctioning means. It may, however, be desirable to deactivate the audio sanctioning means during the hours of darkness. However, careful consideration should be given to local noise ordnances.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system to control the luminosity and extend the life of the motor vehicle lghts. The present invention can further be extended to where the motor vehicle lights are progressively increased as the current ambient light conditions or the current visibility conditions decrease and progressively decreased as the current ambient light conditions or the current visibility conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system that can be either permanently and/or interactively programmed to dynamically control the rate of change of the DC current and the DC voltage, with respect to time, during the initial power up phase and thereby extend the life of both a DC power supply and a load circuit. Furthermore, the present invention can be either permanently and/or interactively programmed to dynamically control the rate of change of the DC current and the DC voltage, with respect to time, during successive power up, power down, and power up cycles. The present invention also can be either permanently and/or interactively programmed to dynamically control the maximum DC current and the maximum DC voltage when in a steady state condition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic adverse weather rear light system which automatically activates the adverse weather rear light source or light sources. Also, to avoid outshining (masking) either the brake lights or the turn signal/emergency flasher lights the luminosity of these lights is automatically increased to where their luminosity always greater than the luminosity of the adverse weather rear light source or light sources. Another embodiment of the adverse weather rear light system automatically activates and progressively either increases or decreases the luminosity of the adverse weather rear light source or light sources as the current visibility conditions decrease or increase. Also, to avoid outshining (masking) either the brake lights or the turn signal/emergency flasher lights the luminosity of these lights is automatically increased to where their luminosity is always greater the luminosity of the adverse weather rear light source or light sources.

Abstract: A vehicle lighting system, for use in automobiles or trucks has a tail lamp relay, connected so electrical current flows through the vehicle battery, a tail lamp, and the tail lamp relay when the relay is on; a tail lamp switch; a battery low voltage sensor; taillamp programming means; and means for sensing that the vehicle is in operation. The system also has control circuitry that turns on the relay in the first state when the vehicle is in operation and the tail lamp switch is on, or following the vehicle ceasing operation, the taillamp programming means is on, and the battery low voltage sensing means senses a high battery voltage, but where the relay is turned off when the vehicle is not in operation and either the taillamp programming means is off, the taillamp switch is off, or the battery low voltage sensing means senses a low battery voltage.

Abstract: An apparatus for automatically turning out the headlights, and preferably also the tail/park lights, of a vehicle when the ignition switch is turned off, includes an auxiliary switch connected in electrical series between a vehicle light control switch and the vehicle headlights and tail/park lights so that both the light control switch and auxiliary switch must be closed to operate the headlights and tail/park light, and a bypass switch connected in electrical parallel with the auxiliary switch so that the bypass switch can be operated to bypass the auxiliary switch if the auxiliary switch is not working properly. The bypass switch is preferably also in electrical parallel with the vehicle light control switch so that the bypass switch can be used to bypass both the vehicle light control switch and auxiliary switch to operate the headlights and tail/park lights, for example, when the windshield wiper switch is on.
