Abstract:
A device for generating sounds associated with movements of animals, the device including a movable member operatively associated with a motion generation system and configured to be set in a desired motion by the motion generation system, a hub associated with the movable member, and at least one extension extending from the hub for contact with a desired contact medium to generate sounds associated with movement of animals.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for the provision of data for transmission and/or storage, the transmission and storage of data, and, more particularly, to data coding for transmission and/or storage and to decoding of received and/or accessed or retrieved coded data. In an embodiment of the invention, data is assembled into coded data structures comprising a plurality of fields that, e.g., may contain actual or implied field values, and data associated therewith that relates to the plurality of fields. Encoding and decoding of the data may take place with reference to one or more associated data models, and a coded data structure according to this embodiment may contain content only (field values and data identifying the structure). This allows for a reduction in size of the data structure as compared to, e.g., a data structure comprising program code or all data needed to describe the data in the data structure.
Abstract:
A device for generating sounds associated with movements of animals, the device including a movable member operatively associated with a motion generation system and configured to be set in a desired motion by the motion generation system, and an extension assembly configured to replicate a leg and foot of an animal and move in a desired path for contact with a desired contact medium to generate sounds that mimic sounds associated with movements of animals.
Abstract:
A system for generating sounds associated with movements of animals, the system including an enclosure having a fill material therein, with a movable member located within the enclosure and operable for contact with the fill material to generate sounds associated with movement of animals.
