Abstract:
The automatic Pet feeder caters for animals of all sizes that feed off of pallets and seeds. It can be used in any environment (interior or exterior). The timer is used to accurately feed the animals or pets at the appropriate time of the day, week or month depending on the animals' diet. It uses a blower to disburse the right amount of food. For larger feeding (farms), the automatic pet feeder can be daisy chained with other automatic pet feeders to supply larger quantities of food. It is mainly made out of plastic and is very affordable. This invention can be used in fish farms, chicken farms, aquarium, pawns, house pets etc.

Abstract:
A storage card module for supporting more than one SCSI storage device on a printed circuit board to be coupled to a CPCI backplane. The storage devices are positioned on the board with a predetermined spacing disposed therebetween. One or more low profile connectors are disposed in the predetermined spacing for each storage device depending on the number of pins needed. For an 8-bit fast tape drive, a 50-pin low profile connector is utilized. A pair of 34-pin low profile connectors are utilized for connecting to a 16-bit fast-wide SCSI disk drive. Electrical traces are buried in the board substrate which couple the low profile connectors to a card connector on the printed circuit board. The card connector is mated to the CPCI backplane via a backplane connector. A SCSI I/O interface is in an electrical conductive relationship with at least a portion of the backplane connector. Power is provided to the drives via a pair of 4-pin low profile power connectors disposed in the predetermined spacing.
