A rodent control assembly has a module for housing sensor electronics which is insertable through a hole in the rear wall of a rodent control device such as a bait station or a repeating trap. The rodent control device has a bottom wall with portions defining opposed parallel frontwardly extending channels which are accessible through openings in a rear wall. The module has a shell with a front wall which extends upwardly from a platform which defines a threshold for the passage of rodents thereover. Parallel rails extend from the platform sides. The rails are slidably received within the channels, such that the platform passes through the rear wall of the rodent control device to be positioned along an interior rodent runway. The module is fastenable to the rodent control device from the exterior, without requiring opening of the device.

Rodent control device with modular rodent sensor housing

A rodent trap includes a base, a strike member, a biasing member, and a trigger. The base defines a base interior and an opening. The strike member is movably coupled to the base for linear travel between an extended position and a retracted position. The strike member comprises a tunnel element extending through the opening of the base. The strike member defines an entryway that communicates with the base interior. The biasing member is coupled to the base and the strike member. The biasing member is configured to bias the strike member toward the retracted position. The trigger is movably coupled to the base. The trigger is configured to contact an outer surface of the strike member in the extended position. When the trigger dislodges from the outer surface of the strike member, the strike member linearly travels to the retracted position.

Retracting tunnel rodent trap

A system, method and apparatus include generating a building model of a building to be constructed at a construction site, identifying within the building model positional locations for installation of one or more anchor apparatuses within structural elements of the building model, transmitting the building model to a portable computing device at the construction site and identifying the location of the portable computing device to a given positional location. At least the generating, identifying, transmitting and identifying steps are implemented via at least one processing device comprising a processor and a memory.

Construction anchor apparatus and system and methodology of use

A base has a rodent inlet opening and interior walls which define a rodent runway which communicates with an interior compartment. A downwardly opening compartment with a cover defines a case for receiving a sensor module mounted beneath a threshold at the entry of the rodent runway to the interior compartment. Portions of the base bottom wall and the cover define a perimeter double lip on one of the base bottom wall and the cover which extends vertically beneath the compartment and is configured to extend around the sensor module and on the other of the base bottom wall and the cover there is a vertically protruding peripheral bead which extends between the perimeter double lip. The case encloses the sensor module and protects it from exposure to moisture, dirt, and rodent waste within the base interior.

Device with sealed sensor module case beneath rodent runway

A safety anchor apparatus is adapted for use in installation of a perimeter cable fall protection system at a construction site, e.g., involving concrete or masonry wall construction. The safety anchor apparatus may be mounted during construction of the masonry or cement block wall with relative ease and is capable of securing holding the support cable (e.g., steel cable) in a tensioned condition to meet all safety standards with regard to strength, load etc. The safety anchor apparatus is secured to embedded reinforcement bar extending through a column or rows of cement blocks. The safety anchor apparatus is selectively adjustable to accommodate masonry blocks of different sizes which may be used during construction of the support wall. Moreover, the safety anchor apparatus is adjustable to account for variations in wall design and readily deployable about the vertical reinforcement bar during application of the rows of cement blocks.

Safety anchor apparatus

A method and apparatus for processing documents is provided. The documents may be conveyed to a feeder for feeding documents to a scanner. The scanner scans each document to obtain image data and then discharges the document to one or more output or sort locations. The system may include a skew reduction assembly for reducing skew in the documents as the documents are fed to the scanner. The system may also include elements for improving image quality and reducing document damage while the document is scanned. The system may further include features for improving the stacking of the discharged documents.

Document imaging apparatus with leading edge engagement for improved performance

A system is provided for processing documents. In particular, the system incorporates a feeder for feeding documents to a device for further processing of the documents. For instance, the system finds particular application in the field of document imaging in which a variety of documents of varying sizes and orientation are to be fed to an imaging system, such as a document scanner. The system may provide a sorting station that receives documents from a workstation and sorts the documents to a plurality of sort locations. The system may export the image data for the documents to a fileserver so that a remote operator can provide instructions for the processing of the documents so that the documents can be subsequently processed according to the instructions provided by the operator.

Document imaging system and method for imaging documents to convey documents without entraining documents

Document imaging system and method for imaging documents

A method, includes securing a component of an anchor apparatus to a board of a form utilized to form a concrete support structure; coupling an anchor of the anchor apparatus relative to the component by engaging a threaded segment of the component with a cooperative threaded segment of the anchor; depositing concrete within the form to create the concrete support structure, the concrete support structure at least partially enclosing the anchor; removing at least a portion of the board of the form; and accessing the anchor through a cavity in the concrete structure formed by the component.

A rodent trap has a base with a rodent inlet opening and interior walls which define a rodent runway which communicates with a trap interior compartment. A downwardly opening compartment with a cover defines a case which receives a sensor module mounted beneath a threshold at the entry of the rodent runway to the trap interior compartment. The module has a capacitance sensor which detects the passage of a rodent into the interior compartment, and has a programmable controller which logs each rodent entry. The module has a Bluetooth transmitter which allows the module to communicate with a pest control operator to exchange the logged information. The case encloses the sensor module and protects it from exposure to moisture, dirt, and rodent waste within the trap interior.

Remote sensing repeating rodent trap

Rodent trap

A mechanical rodent trap has a jaw mounted to a base, with a trigger therebetween which is activated by the incidence of a rodent. An acceleration sensor is mounted in a case in the base in a sensor module that logs and transmit a signal indicating activation of the trap. Alternatively a magnet holder secures a magnet to the trigger, and a Hall effect sensor is used in the sensor module. The sensor modules are sealed within a compartment formed with the base beneath the trigger and closed by a cover.

Remote sensing mechanical rodent trap

A trap has a housing including an entrance. Internally, the trap has a trigger structure including a trigger plate and a latch mechanism, coupled with the housing; and a pivoting structure pivotally coupled with the housing and adapted to releasably engage with the latch mechanism of the trigger structure. When the trap is triggered by a rodent, the pivoting structure disengages from the latch mechanism and the pivoting structure pivots towards a rear wall of the housing and the trigger plate, and the trigger plate pivots toward the pivoting structure, moving the rodent against towards the rear wall of the housing and trapping the rodent between the pivoting structure and the rear wall. Once the trap is triggered, the rodent is contained and in most cases, killed, within the trap.
