Abstract
A collar has a band having oppositely disposed first and second surfaces. Acoustic concentrators project from the first surface in a projection direction and are configured to penetrate fur in a portion of an animal to place the band in communication with the animal. Acoustic sensors functionally associated with the acoustic concentrators are configured to measure at least one first bioparameter by detecting vibrations corresponding to the at least one first bioparameter, and generate signals representing the at least one first bioparameter. Non-acoustic sensors are associated with the band and are configured to measure one or more second bioparameters associated with the animal, and generate signals representing the one or more second bioparameters. AGC circuitry adjusts signal gain of the signals representing the at least one first bioparameter. A processing subsystem determines a condition of the animal based at least in part by processing signals received from the AGC circuitry.
