TLDR
In this paper, a system for controlling the movement of an animal relative to a controlled area delineated by a wire loop antenna is described, where a frequency modulated signal is transmitted by the FM transmitter connected to the loop.Abstract:
There is described a system for controlling the movement of an animal relative to a controlled area delineated by a wire loop antenna. The controlled area may be inclusive or exclusionary. A frequency modulated signal is transmitted by the FM transmitter connected to the loop. An FM receiver attached to the animal detects the transmitted signal and provides an alarm signal to the animal. The loop antenna is untuned. Low radio frequencies are used and the carrier frequency deviation is large to reduce the systems susceptability to noise. The modulating frequency is limited, also to reduce susceptibility to noise. Integrated circuits are especially designed to permit operation with very low power.read more

Training guidance system for canines, felines, or other animals
Abstract: A computer-aided training and management system that uses a computer or other processor in wireless communication with an instrumented dog collar and/or optionally, one or more dog interaction devices, such as, for example, video monitors, loudspeakers, video cameras, training toys (e.g., ball, bone, moving toy, etc.), an animatronics “trainer,” a treat dispenser, a food dispensing and monitoring device, a water dispensing and monitoring device, tracking devices, a dog door, dog-monitoring doghouse, a dog-monitoring dog toilet, is described. In one embodiment, the instrumented dog collar is in two-way communication with a central computer system.

Out-of-range personnel monitor and alarm
TL;DR: In this paper, an out-of-range monitor and alarm system that may be used by a convalescent home or the like to alert an attendant in the home that a supervised person has walked beyond a predetermined prescribed distance is described.
Patent
Wireless pet containment system
TL;DR: In this article, a pet containment system using a transmitter for transmitting a series of electromagnetic signals, and a receiver removably attached to the pet for receiving the series of EM signals from the transmitter is described.
Patent
Transponder control of animal whereabouts
TL;DR: In this article, the location of a pet or other animal is controlled using one or more transponders to establish a boundary using an incident signal from a transmitter and generate a distinguishable return signal which, when the animal moves into proximity of the boundary, is received by a unit affixed to the animal to initiate application of an aversive stimulus which deters the animal from traversing the boundary.
