  • Patent number: 10631523
    Abstract: The canine three point control harness of the present invention comprises a foreleg crotch loop, that with appropriate tension from any one of three control points, applies pressure to the crotch pits of the dog's forelegs. A pair of shoulder straps support a connector ring disposed over the upper forechest of the dog which ring forms a forward control point that is connected to the foreleg crotch loop and, when attached to a leash, can apply pressure to the foreleg pits. Over the withers of the dog the shoulder straps are twisted together to form a handle, the rear portion of which is connected to that portion of the crotch loop which terminates over the withers and provides another control point for increasing the pressure on the foreleg pits. Lifting of either end of the twisted handle communicates tension to the crotch loop and consequent crotch pressure.

  • Patent number: 10218950
    Abstract: A method of creating a plurality of simulated window views on an interior surface of a building including defining the area on the surface that will be shown as window views and with a plurality of short throw video projectors hung from the ceiling provide a mapped video recording of an image to be viewed in the window areas where the mapped video recording creates discrete segments of the total view assigned to separate ones of the window areas and projecting the discrete segments on the window areas to create a total view of the selected image, such as a landscape.
