Abstract: A method of using a reconfigurable pet enrichment system to help pets fulfill their natural behaviors is provided. The system can be arranged to facilitate an environment that helps stimulate, entertain, and exercise a pet, and also provides a defensible space for napping, resting, or sleeping. The system can be constructed from two pieces of pliable material: a base component and a top-covering component attached to the base component by means of semi-permanent fasteners to create a variety of forms such as ripples, nooks and tunnels. The top component can contain several openings of different sizes. Openings appeal to a pet's predatory nature, as the openings provide a source of stimulation and interaction. The system may also be configured with a plurality of members attached via semi-permanent fasteners.

Abstract: An all-in-one cat housing apparatus for providing living, eating, and bathroom space for a cat includes a housing structure having a top side, a bottom side, a front side, a rear side, a left side, a right side, and an inside. A plurality of apertures extends through to the inside. An upper divider is coupled within the inside to form an upper compartment between the upper divider and the top side. A lower divider is coupled within the inside to form a middle compartment between the lower divider and the upper divider and a bottom compartment between the lower divider and the bottom side. A drawer is coupled within the upper compartment. The drawer is slidable through the top front aperture and is configured to receive cat litter to function as a litter box. A scratching post is coupled to the top side of the housing structure.

Abstract: Implementations directed to providing a computer-implemented method comprising receiving, from a motion sensing device, a plurality of image frames that includes information regarding a plurality of animals housed in a group-housed environment, determining a coordinate space of the group-housed environment based on an analysis of a first image frame of the image frames, generating, based on the analysis of the first image frame, an ellipsoid model for each animal based on defined surface points for each animal weighted according to a likely proximity to a crest of a spine of the respective animal, and tracking a position and an orientation of each animal within the image frames by enforcing shape consistency of the ellipsoid models, and adjusting the position of each of the ellipsoid models based on the defined surface points for each animal and a maximum likelihood formulation of a movement distance for each animal.

Abstract: The field of this invention is recording motion of an animal, uniquely identifying the animal, and recording an activity of that animal. Motions of animals on a path when the animal is or can be uniquely identified are tracklets. Tracklets begin and end at ambiguation events, where these are defined as locations and times of an animal where it cannot be uniquely identified. A first animal may be uniquely identified by first identifying all other animals in the first animal's environment. Animal identification may be after the end of a tracklet. Embodiments use optical flow analysis from video of an animal's environment. Embodiments record an animal's activity on tracklets and then use that activity to measure animal health or use that activity as data for a study using animals.

Abstract: A litter box for sheltering one or more pets. The litter box includes a housing having a base and at least one vertical side wall (including an entry-exit opening), which may be forming a one-piece enclosure for accommodating the one or more pets. An inner surface of the one-piece enclosure may be a smooth surface including rounded edges. Further, the litter box includes a removable lid for removably attaching to at least one top edge of the at least one vertical side wall. Further, the litter box may include a detachable holder for detachably placing on an outer surface of the at least one vertical side wall, to hold at least one absorbent pad. Further, the litter box may include a removable organizer for storing a plurality of cleaning supplies.

Abstract: A twenty-four-different-configuration pet kennel comprises seven first six-function panels, four second six-function panels, a door panel, a door, J-shaped clamps and W-shaped clamps (for angledly and parallelly clamping seven first six-function panels and four second six-function panels together), panel-tube legs (for plugging the bottom ends of seven first six-function panels and four second six-function panels to absorb shocks and vibrations), tick-blocking teeth (molded inside the panel-tube legs to prevent ticks from entering and hiding inside seven first six-function panels and four second six-function panels), and first and second wind-circulating sails (attached to seven first six-function panels and four second six-function panels to redirect and circulate wind and rain water in multiple different directions and multiple opposite directions into and out of the twenty-four-different-configuration pet kennel, to block the sun, and also to function as a rain water gutter and gutter spout). Seven first six-function panels and four second six-function panels can function as 1) stilts, 2) floors, 3) windows, 4) roofs, 5) walls, and 6) patios (to assemble at least twenty four different configurations of the twenty-four-different-configuration pet kennel).

Abstract: This invention describes a device method of moving an animal from one location to another by manipulating the local environment. This invention describes a method to use newborns natural instincts to find warmth to move newborns to a safe area. This invention describes an improvement to a nesting or whelping box, constructed with a pig rail and a heat source to protect the newborns to keep them from being smothered or dying from hypothermia.

Abstract: The present invention provides an extendible enclosure, having a first frame member supporting a first mesh canopy and a second frame member supporting a second mesh canopy. A sliding mechanism coupling the first frame member to the second frame member is operable to reversibly extend the enclosure between a first contracted position and a second extended position, where the first frame member is configured to slidingly engage with the second frame member so that the second frame member at least partially nests within the first frame member when in the first contracted position. The extendible enclosure is particularly suited for objects such as tools, equipment and machinery.
