Devices and methods are provided for leveling and orienting a trail camera mounted to a stationary object such as tree. For example, a device for leveling and orienting a trail camera includes a housing element comprising a first cavity and a second cavity formed in an upper surface of the housing element, a compass mounted in the first cavity of the housing element, wherein the compass is configured for use in directionally orienting the trail camera in a target direction, and a bubble level mounted in the second cavity of the housing element. The housing element includes at least one flat surface which is placed against a flat surface of a trail camera housing to determine a level position of the trail camera housing using the bubble level.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing fast and efficient data compression using a combination of content dependent, content estimation, and content independent data compression. In one aspect of the disclosure a method for compressing data comprises the steps of: analyzing a data block of an input data stream to identify a data type of the data block, the input data stream comprising a plurality of disparate data types; performing content dependent data compression on the data block, if the data type of the data block is identified; performing content estimation data compression if the content is estimable; and performing content independent data compression on the data block, if the data type of the data block is not identified or estimable. In another aspect of the present invention LZDR compression is applied to simultaneously perform one method of compression while computing statistics useful in estimating the optimal form of compression to be applied.

Systems and methods for providing accelerated loading of operating system and application programs upon system boot or application launch are disclosed. In one aspect, a method for providing accelerated loading of an operating system comprises the steps of: maintaining a list of boot data used for booting a computer system; preloading the boot data upon initialization of the computer system; and servicing requests for boot data from the computer system using the preloaded boot data. In another aspect, a method for providing accelerated launching of an application program comprises the steps of: maintaining a list of application data associated with an application program; preloading the application data upon launching the application program; and servicing requests for application data from a computer system using the preloaded application data.

Animal scent lure systems and devices are provided in which scent element holder devices are employed to removably secure a scent element to an animal decoy, for example, to attract wild animals such as deer. For example, an animal lure device includes a scent element holder device for removably holding an animal scent element. The scent element holder device includes a first connecting element to connect the scent element holder device to a stationary object, a second connecting element for removably securing a scent element to the scent element holder device; and an extension arm element connecting the first and second connecting elements. The extension arm element is adapted to maintain the second connecting element offset from the stationary object (e.g., animal decoy) to which the first connecting element is attached.

Systems and methods for accelerated loading of operating systems and application programs

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing accelerated loading of operating system and application programs. In one aspect, a method for providing accelerated loading of an operating system comprises the steps of: maintaining a list of boot data; preloading the boot data upon initialization of the computer system; and servicing requests for boot data from the computer system using the preloaded boot data. In a preferred embodiment, the boot data is retrieved from a boot device and stored in a cache memory device. In another aspect, a method for accelerated loading of an operating system comprises updating the list of boot data during the boot process, wherein updating comprises adding to the list any boot data requested by the computer system not previously stored in the list and/or removing from the list any boot data previously stored in the list and not requested by the computer system.

Systems and methods are provided for accelerated loading of operating system and application programs upon system boot or application launch. In one aspect, a method for providing accelerated loading of an operating system includes maintaining a list of boot data used for booting a computer system, preloading the boot data upon initialization of the computer system, and servicing requests for boot data from the computer system using the preloaded boot data. The boot data may comprise program code associated with an operating system of the computer system, an application program, and a combination thereof. The boot data is retrieved from a boot device and stored in a cache memory device. The boot data is stored in a compressed format on the boot device and the preloaded boot data is decompressed prior to transmitting the preloaded boot data to the requesting system.
