  • Patent number: 11019807
    Abstract: A look-up table is defined by at least one reference point, and rows and columns that are offset from the reference. The table rows and columns correspond to ordinate and abscissa data points representing geographic locations. Each data point offset in the table corresponds to a predefined geographic offset. The look-up table contains machine-stored values at each table location, with each value representing a particular one of several guidance zones. Each guidance zone is associated with behavioral guidance provided to an animal Real-time determination of a current guidance zone is made by first determining present location. The corresponding table location is identified by calculating latitudinal and longitudinal offsets from a reference point, and using these offsets as the two indices to access a double-indexed array. The offsets are selectively subjected to a scalar conversion to accommodate large land areas while limiting the amount of memory required to store the table.

  • Patent number: 11019813
    Abstract: A termite detection device, system, and method. The device includes a housing and bait strip. A first circuit board and detection switch are on the bait strip. A deep hole with a non-through bottom is in the bait strip. A supporting body capable of ascending/descending is in the deep hole for supporting a detected body. The first circuit board is electrically connected to the switch, to determine on/off of the switch. The system includes the termite detection device, a detector, and a database. The device sends a signal of the switch to the database via the detector. In the method, the detector triggers the termite detection device or the termite detection device is automatically triggered. The first circuit board determines on/off of the switch, and sends to the database via the detector for processing/storage. The switch is in a power-off state when no detection is performed.
