Abstract: A vehicle configured to monitor animals in a garage and perform remedial actions is disclosed. The vehicle may include a sensor configured to detect a presence of an animal in a garage interior portion and a garage exterior portion. The vehicle may further include a processor configured to obtain inputs from the sensor. Based on the inputs obtained from the sensor, the processor may determine that the animal may be approaching the garage interior portion or may be present in the garage interior portion. The processor may be further configured to perform a first action when the animal may be approaching the garage interior portion and a second action when the animal may be present in the garage interior portion.

Abstract: A cat deterrent kit, system, and method of deterring a domesticated house cat from entering a restricted area or engaging in an unwanted behavior are disclosed. The cat deterrent kit contains a cylindrical spray bottle, first and second puck-shaped rattlers, and an elastic sleave sized and configured to detachably connect the bottom section of the spray bottle to the first or second rattlers. In some embodiments, the puck-shaped rattlers comprise a plurality of small spherical beads contained within a chamber, and may optionally include an outer magnet that allows magnetic attachment of the rattlers to certain metal surfaces (such as, for example, a refrigerator door or other steel objects). In the method of the invention, a cat is deterred by spraying the spray bottle while simultaneously shaking the rattler to thereby spray the cat with water while the cat is entering the restricted area or engaging in the unwanted behavior.

Abstract: A device, system and methods are provided which enable images to be captured by an image capturing device. A processor may execute an algorithm to identify any dangerous wildlife present in the captured images. Based on identifying dangerous wildlife, the processor circuit may enable a repellent intervention including a spray of water, audible alarm, olfactory agent, seismic signal or other interventions. The processor circuit may communicate information based on the identified animal to a user via a mobile device or other communication device.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to system and method for managing an insect swarm using a plurality of drones. The method includes detecting an insect swarm. The method may further include tracking a movement of the insect swarm. The method further includes communicating, with remaining of the plurality of drones, to dynamically align in a position based on the tracking so as to make a drone formation. The method further includes magnetizing, by at least some of the plurality of drones, one or more drone couplers for electromagnetically coupling the at least some of the plurality of drones with each other as per the drone formation. The method further includes casting, by each of the plurality of drones, a net to trap insects in the insect swarm. The method further includes supplying, by each of the plurality of drones, a high voltage to the net to decapacitate the insects.

Abstract: An automated system for mitigating risk from a wind turbine includes a plurality of optical imaging sensors. A controller receives and analyzes images from the optical imaging sensors to automatically send a signal to curtail operation of the wind turbine to a predetermined risk mitigating level when the controller determines from images received from the optical imaging sensors that an airborne animal is at risk from the wind turbine.

Abstract: Described herein are various systems and techniques for deterring wildlife from an area proximate a windmill. A flying wildlife emitter may be utilized for such techniques. The flying wildlife emitter may output soundwaves to deter wildlife, such as birds or bats, from entering an area around the windmill. The flying wildlife emitter may include a speaker for producing sounds as well as a controller and sensors for determining conditions around the windmill and for controlling the sound produced by the speaker. An ultraviolet emitter may, additionally or alternatively, be utilized for such techniques. The ultraviolet emitter may be configured to emit ultraviolet light that may attract wildlife away from such areas proximate to the windmill.
