Publication number: 20180359999Abstract: A companion animal management apparatus and method. The apparatus includes a monitoring and control unit monitoring a behavior of an animal in real-time, a standard data storage unit storing standard data, an owner treatment data storage unit storing owner treatment data, a data comparison unit retrieving real-time monitoring data and determining whether the behavior of the animal is normal or abnormal by comparing the real-time monitoring data to the standard data, a data matching unit retrieving the real-time monitoring data for the behavior obtained by the monitoring and control unit and the owner treatment data. When the data comparison unit determines that the behavior is abnormal, an application unit retrieves and applies the owner treatment data for the real-time behavior. This companion animal management apparatus allows the current behavior to be obtained in real-time and allows the current behavior to be compared with the standard data.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2018Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventor: Chunggwang Choi

Publication number: 20180360000Abstract: A high lift feeder protector has mounting, vertical extension, and horizontal extension members, which can be hollow to allow a suspension rope to run therethrough. The members together can resemble an extended cane. The far end of the suspension rope attaches to a feeder. The rope runs up from the feeder, into an output port on the underside of the horizontal extension member, through the horizontal extension member, through the vertical extension member, through the mounting member, and then extends out an input port at the near end thereof. The tag end of the suspension rope can then be affixed to a cleat, winch or other securing device. A rope stop can be affixed near the tag end and should be large enough that it cannot fit within the input port. Thus, the rope stop functions to stop the rope from feeding completely in and through the members.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2018Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventor: Russell Jeffrey Cahill

-
Publication number: 20180360011Abstract: A spring actuated weedless fishing lure increases the chances of successfully catching a fish without entangling a hook on plant material. A weedless guard system prevents the hook from catching on weeds and compresses a spring to hold the spring and hook in a retracted position. When a fish strikes, the weedless guard system is released allowing the spring to expand and push the hook in a longitudinal direction to an expanded position away from other parts of the lure. This expanded position provides a greater area for the fish's mouth to engage with the hook without interference from other parts of the lure. The expanded position also allows the hooks to embed closer to the front of a fish's mouth and reduces the risk of the fish swallowing the whole lure.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2018Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventor: Jake Fletcher

Publication number: 20180360017Abstract: A pad-like support device's springy (dampening, elastic) function allows a horse hoof during impact to function similar to a hoofs function during impact when the horse is unshod. A further advantage is that the risk of pressing in is essentially eliminated. A further advantage of the present invention is that the flexible zones reduce the pull on the shoe and the seam (nails) when rocks and uneven ground press the middle part in the upward direction. A still further advantage is that an effective dampening of the frog's ground impact is achieved thereby reducing the load (stress) on the horse's hoof, ligaments and joints. It is a further advantage of the present invention that it improves circulation. Because the frog's support essentially follows the frog's every movement, friction (abrasion) occurring between the pad and the frog on existing pads is minimized.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2018Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventor: EriK Lundqvist

Publication number: 20180360048Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition in solution (often, an aqueous solution) which comprises a combination of molecular iodine (I2) and an acceptable source of iodate (IO3), and an acid (inorganic or organic), wherein iodide and iodate are present in the composition at a molar ratio of about 0.1 to about 25, the concentration of uncomplexed molecular iodine is a disinfectant, biocidal and/or antimicrobial (depending upon the end use of the composition) effective amount the concentration of acid in the composition is effective to provide a buffering pH in the composition ranging from about 1.5 to about 6.5. Compositions according to the present invention are storage stable for unexpectedly long periods of time (up to about 5 years), and find use as disinfecting solutions, as germicides and/or biocides (e.g. antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antispore etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2018Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventors: Rodger Elliot Kolsky, Herbert Moskowitz, Jack Kessler
