Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for assessing pet wellness. The method includes receiving data related to a pet. The method also includes determining based on the data one or more health indicators of the pet, and performing a wellness assessment of the pet based on the one or more health indicators. In addition, the method includes determining a recommendation to a pet owner based on the wellness assessment. The method further includes transmitting the recommendation to a mobile device of the pet owner, wherein the recommendation is displayed at the mobile device to the pet owner.

Abstract: A system, method, or apparatus for tracking and monitoring pet activity. The apparatus can be a wearable device for a pet comprising a band comprising a strap plate, a removable battery component, and a tracking component, wherein the removable battery component can be configured to be removably attached to the tracking component, wherein the wearable device can be removably attached to the pet via the band, and wherein the tracking component can be removably attached to the strap plate.

Abstract: A formula, apparatus and method of manufacturing a confectionery with an ornamental shape is disclosed. The invention comprises a jacket dough capable of being formed into an ornamental shape, said jacket dough further comprising flour; a leavening system; an oil, water and emulsifier system; sweeteners; flavoring additives; and coloring additives.

Abstract: An accessory assembly for coupling a unit to an animal band, having a support frame that includes a locking gap positioned on one end of the support frame, a latch protrusion positioned on the other end of the support frame, a proximally positioned receiving aperture, and a plurality of strap retention structures configured for coupling to at least one strap, the straps configured for coupling to an animal band. The accessory assembly further has a coupling latch having an actuator positioned on one end of the coupling latch and a locking mechanism positioned on the other end of the coupling latch opposite the actuator where the coupling latch is configured to be coupled to the support frame by placing the locking mechanism within the locking gap and positioning the actuator around the latch protrusion, and where the coupling latch is further configured to laterally move the locking mechanism.

Abstract: Disclosed is an accessory assembly for coupling a unit to an animal band. In one embodiment, the accessory assembly comprises a support frame, the support frame including a locking gap positioned on one end of the support frame, a latch protrusion positioned on the other end of the support frame, a proximally positioned receiving aperture, and a plurality of strap retention structures configured for coupling to at least one strap, the straps configured for coupling to an animal band.

Abstract: The system, method and apparatus for securing network data of the present invention provide security for internal networks by utilizing a common storage element for the exchange of data between the external and internal components, without creating a concurrent session between the external and internal components. In addition, when the protocol of the external network is Internet Protocol (IP), the protocol used for the internal network may be a non-IP messaging protocol that is a more secure protocol than IP, and insulates the internal network from the type of attacks that are common in IP networks. These security measures may be implemented without a significant change to the hardware or software elements of the internal or external networks, and, therefore, without adding significant cost to the network administration and without the network performance degradation that is characteristic of conventional security measures.
