    摘要: The present invention relates generally to a system and a method for distributing materials in confined spaces, such as, for example, feeding animals in captivity. The system can be used to for example, animals through the operation of a cable mounted transport mechanism that carries storage container for food, a dispenser, and sensors that assist in the movement of the transport mechanism and the dispensing of food by the dispenser. Disclosed also is a method including the steps of (A) receiving, in a cable mounted transport mechanism, information regarding the timing for dispensing, (B) accessing information about the position(s) from which food should be dispensed, (C) sensing and monitoring the amount of food in the food storage container attached to the transport mechanism, (D) moving the cable mounted transport mechanism to the position(s) prescribed by the information accessed, and (E) dispensing food from the food storage container at the desired position(s) based upon the information regarding the timing for dispensing, the position(s) for dispensing and amount of food then in the food storage container.

    摘要: This invention is an apparatus that can be intermittently bottom moored and moved with buoyancy as it uses its sensors to collect data in deep ocean water. In one embodiment of the invention, the apparatus includes one or more floats, buoyancy engines, payload sensors, depth sensors and electronics. The electronics provide the power and, among other things, control the transmission of data from and the reception of information by the apparatus. An anchor is used to moor the apparatus at desired locations. When not moored, the apparatus drifts with the currents at the depth at which the apparatus is then positioned, with the movement being directed by current flow of the water. The movement of the apparatus is guided with knowledge of the currents and tides (it is not random).

    摘要: Described is a system and method through which (a) information related to detected moving objects can be received, processed and confirmed, (b) such information can be evaluated—with the information from differing receiving, processing and confirming sources being aggregated and integrated, thereby increasing the overall efficiency and accuracy of the system and method, and with the elements of the system and the practice of the method resulting in the sharing of such information with such elements controlling various aspects of their own operation—to assess the possible impacts of the presence and/or operation of such detected moving objects within a specific environment, and as a result of such evaluation (c) actions can be initiated based upon (x) the identification of the detected moving object and (y) the possible impacts thereof within such specific environment.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a system for and method of monitoring and sterilizing an enclosed space. A particular aspect of the invention is the use of an ultraviolet light producer. The system is controlled by and the process incorporates the use of computing technology. In summary, the invention sterilizes the applicable enclosed space by (A) monitoring the enclosed space based upon the information supplied by the computing technology, (B) sending a signal to the ultraviolet light producer to maximize the ultraviolet illumination disinfecting, and (C) using a model of the enclosed space to guide the positioning of the system throughout the disinfecting process. A final element of a general embodiment of the system would preferably be a communication element that can transmit data about the positioning of the system, and other pertinent information, to a remote device.
