Abstract: Offender location tracking devices have evolved to a point where they are wearable computers. Modern smartwatches are also wearable computers and can be used as offender tracking devices; however, they have the limitation of not being able to detect if they are being tampered with or are removed. A novel security band of the present invention can be used in conjunction with a commercially available smartwatch. The security band of the present invention is able to detect if it is cut or removed and is able to wirelessly notify a smartwatch or optional smartphone. The notification is then relayed to a monitoring center or supervising authority using a cellular telephone network or other wireless communication method.

Abstract: A combination leash anchor and container support. The combination includes a securement member for securely attaching the combination to the ground, a leash fastener for coupling a dog leash, for example, to the securement member, and a container support for holding containers, such as food or water bowls. The securement member, which has a ground boring means attached thereto, and the container support are preferably constructed in one-piece and the container support is designed so that it can be grasped to manually drive the combination into the ground without the need for any tools or strenuous labor. The combination can be removed from the ground and relocated in a similar manner. Removable bowls can be used with the combination in order to facilitate cleaning and refilling at a location away from the combination, if desired.
