Contact by the animal causes the device to tip, thereby allowing treats to fall through the opening in the body. Changing the amount and type of material used for the weighted material changes the characteristics of how the device moves when contacted by the animal that in turn, changes the rate and amount of treats that are dispensed. | 04-14-2011 |

| 20110317876 | Optical Control System for Heliostats - A method of aligning a reflector with a target includes receiving, at a first reflector, light from a light source. The first reflector is configured to reflect light from the light source onto a target, illuminating the target in a first target region. A first image of the target is captured, using an imaging device. The first reflector is configured to reflect light from the light source onto the target, illuminating the target in a second target region. A second image of the target is captured, using the imaging device. The differences between the first image and the second image are compared to determine the alignment of the first reflector with respect to at least one of the light source and the target. | 12-29-2011 |
