Publication number: 20180206473Abstract: In one aspect, a singulation chamber apparatus defines a volume having a receiving end and an opposing end. The receiving end may be couplable to an insect chamber for a plurality of ambulatory insects and define an opening to receive the plurality of ambulatory insects from the insect chamber. A surface of the chamber is ramped to provide a pathway between the receiving end and the opposing end such that the opposing end is elevated with respect to the first end via the ramped surface. The pathway has a width sized to accommodate a single-file line of the plurality of ambulatory insects traversing the ramped surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2017Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventors: Peter Massaro, Victor Criswell, Martin Sheridan

Publication number: 20180206476Abstract: A rodent electrocution assembly includes a housing that may be positioned on the ground thereby facilitating the housing to be aligned with a rodent tunnel. A pair of legs is provided and each of the legs is hingedly coupled to the housing. Each of the legs is urged to penetrate the ground thereby facilitating each of the legs to be positioned in the rodent tunnel. An electrifying unit is coupled to the housing. The electrifying unit is positioned in the rodent tunnel when the pair of legs is positioned in the rodent tunnel. The electrifying unit electrocutes a rodent when the rodent passes through the pair of legs.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2017Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventor: Scott Brown

Publication number: 20180206477Abstract: A broadband ultrasonic transducer device (UTD) is disclosed that utilizes a plurality of narrow-band piezo electric elements grouped into single-frequency sub-arrays to provide a relatively simple, highly-reliable deterrent unit (DU) capable of emitting ultrasonic energy over a wide coverage area and at a sound pressure level that meets or exceeds other DU approaches. In an embodiment, the broadband UTD includes a housing portion configured to couple to a plurality of piezo sub-array plates. Each piezo sub-array plate includes a plurality of pockets or cavities to receive respective narrow-band (e.g., 1-3 kHz) piezo electro transducer elements with characteristics, e.g., geometries and material composition, that cause each to emit ultrasonic energy at a particular resonant frequency. A controller of the UTD implements a control scheme to emit ultrasonic energy in a plurality of output modes including a white noise node and a single-frequency mode for deterrence applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2018Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventors: Thomas J. Nostrand, Cody Spiegel, Dale E. Williams, Junda Zhu

Publication number: 20180206478Abstract: A scent vaporizing and distribution device uses an electric heating element to rapidly vaporize a liquid scent material. An airflow generator is used to create a distribution airflow that distributes the vapor from the device. The airflow generator can be an electric-powered fan or a manually-powered pump or squeezable bladder. The liquid scent material can include a glycol or a water-glycol mixture. A scent material such as liquid or powdered deer urine or a pleasant scent that can be used as a room or automobile or room freshener is mixed with the liquid. The vapor generator can be removable and replaceable such that different scents can be used with a single airflow generator or an empty generator can be replaced.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2017Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventor: Robert M. Wynalda, JR.

Publication number: 20180206479Abstract: A hunting blind system includes a structure that may house a hunter. The housing has a first opening extending into an interior of the structure. A weapon is selectively extended through the first opening for hunting. A shield unit is positioned within the structure such that the shield unit covers the first opening. The shield unit is comprised of a polarized material to pass light therethrough in a single direction. In this way the window inhibits prey from seeing through the shield unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2017Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventor: James Hosmer
