Title: Roger H. Hess and a Pressure-Controlled Animal Training Device.

Introduction

Roger H. Hess is an inventor associated with Lesueur, Minnesota. His patent describes an animal-training system designed to let a trainer control a remote stimulus through pressure-sensitive input.

Latest Patents

Hess is credited with 1 patent: “Animal Training Device That Controls Stimulus Using Proportional Pressure-Based Input.” The system pairs a handheld controller with a remote device. A pressure-sensitive transducer measures how firmly the user presses a button or trigger and converts that input into proportional signals. The remote device applies a stimulus whose intensity corresponds to the signal, allowing the trainer to adjust it by varying pressure. A rotary switch selects the type of stimulus, and sensors in the remote device can send feedback to the handheld controller.

Career Highlights

The patent’s central innovation is proportional control: rather than simply switching a stimulus on or off, the system enables the trainer to vary its intensity through pressure. This approach combines a handheld interface, remote stimulus delivery, and optional sensory feedback in one training system.

Collaborations

Chad R. James and Stephen G. Haynes are identified as Hess’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent or the invention.

Conclusion

Roger H. Hess’s patent presents a pressure-responsive animal-training device that gives trainers more precise control over stimulus intensity and type.
