摘要:
An identification tag applicator is provided, the applicator comprising a body (12) having a pair of applicator jaws (18,20) attached thereto, where one of the jaws is pivotable relative to the body. A manually-operated actuator is pivotably attached to the body (12) and adapted to move the pivotable applicator jaw (20) between open and closed positions. The actuator comprises a lever (26) having a first lever end pivotably attached to the body (12), and a second lever end. A lever biasing member biases the lever (26) towards a first position in which the pivotable jaw (20) is in the open position. A first link member (32) has a first link end pivotably attached to the pivotable applicator jaw (20), and a second link end having a first locking surface. A second link member (34) has a third link end which is pivotably attached to the second lever end, and a fourth link end which has a second locking surface and which is pivotably attached to the second link end. When the lever (26) is in the first position the first and second link members (32,34) lie in the same plane (P) and the first and second locking surfaces abut one another to hold the link members in the same plane as the lever is moved from the first position. The second and fourth link ends are connected by a link pin (37) which is offset from the plane (P) of the link members (32,34). The second applicator jaw (20) includes a projecting member (24) adapted to force the link members (32,34) to pivot relative to one another about the link pin (37) so that the link members move out of the plane (P) when the applicator jaws (18,20) reach a closed position.

A tracker (10) adapted for recording the course of flight of birds includes a body (20), a circuit module (30), a power source module (40), and a switch (50) which are disposed in a receiving space (21) of the body (20). The circuit module (30) has a wireless positioning unit for tracking and locating the birds and storing data pertaining to the birds. The switch (50) is electrically connected to a first electrically conductive portion (212) and a second electrically conductive portion (214) of the body (20) when pivoted to a first position such that the circuit module (30) is electrically connected to an external supply power source through the switch (50), thereby supplying power to the circuit module (30).

A system is described herein that comprises a communications device periodically transmitting a radio frequency signal, wherein the periodically transmitted signal includes data. The system includes a receiver detecting the periodically transmitted signal, the detecting including measuring strength of the periodically transmitted signal, the detecting including using the signal strength to provide a first estimate of the receiver's distance from the communications device. The system includes the communications device comprising at least one location sensor for determining an additional distance indication, wherein the data includes the additional distance indication. The system includes the receiver performing a function when the first estimate meets at least one criterion and when the additional distance indication indicates a first state.
摘要:
A magnetic tracking tag for animals may detect the occurrence of a predation event. The tag may include a pH sensitive material that degrades in the environment of a predator's gut. The degradation of the pH sensitive material causes a change in a detectable magnetic field of the tag, which allows the tag to detect the predation event and adjust its operation accordingly.

A method and system is provided that controls access to various different locations and/or objects whereby animals wearing an ID tag are reliably and consistently allowed or denied access to various locations and/or objects, such as food contained within a food delivery device dish for example. An RFID system that employs a internally powered RFID tag with inductively coupled transmissions where a reader is employed linked to an internal multiple antenna array that is focused on all possible animal approach directions for a range of up to 36″, but not more.
摘要:
The invention relates to an animal identification system comprising an animal identification device and a sampling member. The animal identification device comprises a male part comprising a shank (12) extending from a support (11) and ending in a locking head (122) intended to be inserted into a female part so as to fix said identification device to an animal, said shank having passing through it a longitudinal canal that allows the passage of said animal tissue sampling member. The shank (12) comprises stiffening means comprising at least one abutment element (13) protruding into the canal, located between the middle of the shank and the distal end of the head (124), said at least one abutment element defining a bearing zone against which at least one bearing element of the sampling member can bear while animal tissue is being sampled. The sampling member comprises at least one bearing element that complements said at least one abutment element of said male part.
