Abstract: A method for providing pet related services to a user includes payment by the user into an accrual account. Pet health can be evaluated by both a veterinarian and machine system. Following confirmation of veterinary emergency visit by the user and pet, payment from the accrual account for a veterinary emergency visit can be made.

Abstract: A system for providing animal related information to animal professionals includes a cloud connected device supporting voice detection and voice response for information receipt and information data input between animal professionals. The voice detection and voice response can be provided by an animal support system that includes a user interface module connected to the cloud connected device to provide non-audio information. Animal related data supplied by the animal support system can be electronically transferrable using a defined format that includes audio information.

Abstract: A voice controlled virtual assistant usable by livestock management or workers is disclosed. Information received via a cloud connected device can include veterinary related questions, curated answers, or access to individual animal health records. The animal support system can actively provide information derived from information received through the cloud connected device, including warnings derived from audio monitoring of animal condition. In some embodiments, the cloud connected device can interact with additional sensors that monitor animal condition, capture animal images, or provide electronically available animal tag identification or sensor information.

Abstract: A method for providing animal related services or products includes receiving an audio request on a cloud connected device supporting voice detection and voice response and determining whether at least one of a veterinary consult service and an animal related product is required. A veterinary consult service can provide diagnosis of pet condition based at least in part on a sequence of voiced questions and voiced responses asked and received through the cloud connected device and the animal related product can be billed and delivered at least in part using the animal support system.

Abstract: A method for providing veterinary services includes receiving a request for veterinary services for a pet through a communication network that supports audio communications. A diagnosis of pet medical condition can be provided based at least in part on information received through an automated veterinarian service manager. In some embodiments veterinarian service manager can direct a user to a veterinarian based on diagnosis of pet condition.

Abstract: Described herein is a vehicle seat cover. One vehicle seat cover comprises an upper section and a lower section. The upper section is adapted to couple to couple to a vehicle seat back and the lower section adapted to couple to a vehicle seat bench. At least one of the upper section and the lower section comprises a base section and a removable face section.

Abstract: An apparatus for damping torsional vibration in a shaft, having a plurality of retainer pockets spaced from each other in the direction of the shaft's axis of rotation and connected for contemporaneous rotation with the shaft, and a plurality of disks each disposed within one of the retainer pockets, each retainer pocket having a circular track wall, each disk being free to shift perpendicular to the shaft's axis of rotation to engage and move along the circular track wall in response to the vibration, wherein each circular retainer pocket has a center that is at a predetermined radial offset distance relative to the shaft's axis of rotation and the respective radial offsets are angularly spaced from each other about the shaft's axis of rotation.

Abstract: This invention relates to a high speed milling tool for deburring or edge radiusing of machine parts. This tool comprises a plurality of cutter inserts having corresponding edges whereby each edge mills only a portion of the machine part radius. This requires a full revolution of the tool producing a faceted approximation of the cut radius to make a complete cut. The tool offers significant improvement in part feedrate in high speed milling applications requiring either a longer tool reach or set length or parts having taller or thinner edges without effects of deflection or chatter between the part and tool.
