Filed:

Mar 1, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/069250

Inventors:

Faith Radcliffe - Cranberry Township PA, US
Jeffrey Lang - Venango PA, US

International Classification:

A01K 29/00

US Classification:

119710000

Abstract:

A food treat for an animal includes a pliable elongate shape formed from an ingredient mixture and having a length and a width, wherein the length is greater than the width. The elongate strip may be rolled along its length to provide a pliable rolled elongate animal food treat. Individual lengths of the rolled elongate shape may be unrolled and detached from the pliable rolled elongate animal food treat. A method of preparing a food treat for an animal also is disclosed including, for example, the step of combining a plurality of ingredients to form an ingredient mixture, the step of processing at least a portion of the ingredient mixture into a pliable flat shape, and the step of forming the flat shape into at least one pliable roll. A method of providing a food treat to an animal is further disclosed, wherein the method includes, for example, the step of unrolling a length of a pliable elongate rolled animal food treat, the step of detaching the length from the pliable elongate rolled animal food treat, and the step of providing the length to the animal.

International Classification:

G01N 27/72

US Classification:

324243

Abstract:

A system for providing electromagnetic imaging through magnetoquasistatic sensing contains an electromagnetic sensor for imaging a sample. The electromagnetic sensor contains drive/sense electronics and a pixelated sensor array having an array of inductive loops that source magnetic fields that interact with the sample, wherein the inductive loops are individually drivable by the drive/sense electronics in a coordinated manner to establish a desired temporal and spatial pattern in which electrical properties of the inductive loops are used to generate an image. Other components of the system include a precision motion controller, sensor head and associated electronics, and a computer for performing data acquisition and signal inversion.
