  • Publication number: 20140085085
    Abstract: A device was invented with a sensor that would allow for determining fungal growth. When fungal growth occurs the sensors would be activated emitting audio, light and actual voice commands. The device provides; a low cost, simplicity of use and function, and its ability to fulfill a need for the means to determine growth of fungi placed behind closed doors or beyond the point of view. This device may be used for pathogenic fungal growth in medical and veterinary facilities, also in laboratories examining environmental pollution. The automatic sensing methodology also allows for a reduced chance for the preparer to be contaminated through exposure by reducing the need of continual examination of the fungal growth.

  • Publication number: 20140020279
    Abstract: The device is a flea trap device with multiple methods of killing and trapping the unwanted fleas. The device utilizes a fake animal which moves via small vibrators under the fur, and is warm much like a real one. The feline's eyes light up. This device utilizes heat, motion, and light to attract the fleas much like a real one. Also every so many minutes it. sprays carbon dioxide on itself which is what is used to kill the fleas. The animal has sticky tape around it which prevents the fleas from escaping or moving. Around the fake animal is a cage which prevents animals, and young ones from entering the trap. This flea trap is the first one to utilize all methods of attracting fleas from a 360 degree angle.

  • Publication number: 20130324932
    Abstract: The device is essentially a pipette with pre-filled medication in it. Also, there is an additional plug with pressure release valves on the tip of the pipette. The pre-filled medication prevents licensed practitioners from having to count drops and having to fill the pipette up, thus saving time. The plug on the tip fits snuggly into the ear canal helping the practitioner find the perfect spot in the ear canal. Pressure relief valves in the plug helps relieve pressure in the ear canal when delivering treatment, helping for a safer treatment. The plug on the tip of the pipette also has openings on the side to deliver treatment thus coving a wider spectrum of the ear canal, and creating a more beneficial treatment.

  • Publication number: 20120178041
    Abstract: The device allows for an opening to be procured on either or both sides at one time on a muzzle that is at the same time being used to hold the mouth of the animal closed. The opening will allow the health professional such as a veterinarian to observe the oral cavity of the animal while being protected from the dogs biting teeth, the oral cavity which is an important aspect of the health of the animal can be assessed. The utility will allow for the shutting and opening of the sides through flaps by the use of Velcro®, snaps, twist tops, zippers, buttons, and mechanical movement such as one tube over another.
