  • Sensing and integrating data of environmental conditions in animal research
    Patent number: 12778072
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for sensing and integrating data of environmental conditions in animal research. A collection device is removably mounted to a cage. The collection device includes a sensor array that captures audio content or environmental measurements. A micro-environment monitor of the collection device can process the audio content to determine that audible or ultrasonic vocalizations of an animal are present. The micro-environment monitor sends data based at least in part on the audio content or environmental measurements to a computing environment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 12, 2025
    Date of Patent: November 3, 2026
    Assignee: THE UAB RESEARCH FOUNDATION
    Inventors: Robert J. Tindal, Erik Dohm, Sam Misko, Samuel Cartner, Jaret Langston, Pam Bounelis, Rachana Kotapalli, Emma Latham Godwin
