Abstract: A pet door is described herein comprising a motor for locking and unlocking a pet flap of a pet door, wherein the pet flap is rotatably attached to an upper portion of the pet door. The pet door includes a first motion detector for monitoring movement in a first detection region and a second motion detector for monitoring movement in a second detection region, wherein the pet flap of the pet door occupies a plane separating the first detection region from the second detection region when the pet flap is in a locked position. One or more applications running on at least one processor of the pet door are configured to receive a first motion signal from the first motion detector indicating movement of a pet in the first detection region, the receiving the first motion signal including activating an access sequence controlling ingress or egress of a pet.

Abstract: A pet door includes a latch assembly for locking and unlocking a pet flap. The latch assembly has an electric motor, a motor drive shaft having a first end coupled to the electric motor and a second end oppositely disposed from the first end, a drive pin coupled to the second end of the motor drive shaft, and a drive wheel coupled to the drive pin. The drive wheel incrementally rotates with each full rotation of the drive pin. The drive wheel is coupled to a cam drive shaft. The latch assembly also has plurality of latches assemblies coupled to the cam drive shaft for selective engagement of the peripheral edge of the flap depending upon the rotational position of the cam drive shaft, the selective engagement between the latches and the peripheral edge of the flap determining the locking and unlocking of the flap relative to the frame.

Abstract: A pet door includes a motor for locking and unlocking a pet flap of a pet door. The pet flap is rotatably attached to an upper portion of the pet door. The flap has at least one peripheral edge and a movable seal coupled to the flap for reciprocal movement between a retracted position and an extended position. The seal has a second magnetic portion that is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic portion of the frame. The seal is biased to the retracted position when the door is open and the seal being magnetically biased to the extended position by the magnetic force between the first and second magnetic portions when the door is closed.

Abstract: A pet litter tray includes a main housing, a pair of oppositely disposed side flaps, and a pair of oppositely disposed end flaps. The main compartment has an interior space and an open top or top opening. The main compartment has a generally planar, rectangular floor, two oppositely disposed side walls, and two oppositely disposed end walls. Each end flap has an elongated tab mounting slot. Each side flap has a first portion extending from the side wall of the main compartment along the longitudinal first fold, a second portion extending from the first portion along a second fold, a third portion extending from the second portion along a longitudinal third fold, and a distal, fourth portion extending from the third portion along a longitudinal fourth fold. The fourth portion has two oppositely disposed end tabs and a central handle portion having a handle hole therethrough.
