Specification

TECHNICAL FIELD

BACKGROUND
[0002] The problems of rats seem quite inevitable in the era of 14th century and it seems to be unsolved till today. It seems that rats are very intelligent animals. Every year 4.4 Mn people in India get infected because of rat bite and fleas released by mice. The poison can’t kill all the mice and traps are not able to keep the problems away. While the method of poison killing of rats is not 100% efficient, it comes with a challenge to fight with stint smell and microbiota germination. It is difficult to take the dead rats out of home. However, the traps seem to have solution to this challenge, but it is unhygienic to handle the traps. The traps without mind are also inefficient to tackle intelligent rats. The condition is worse with important places like Government Hospitals and Warehouses in developing countries. It is difficult to afford the costlier pest control at the annual price of Rs. 55 Lakh. It leads to extra burden of Rs 4,400 crore to country like India. Hence the pied piper is always needed to keep the rats away to avoid such loss.

The network can be a wireless network, a wired network or a combination thereof that can be implemented as one of the different types of networks, such as Intranet, Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), Internet, and the like. Further, the network 104 can either be a dedicated network or a shared network. The shared network can represent an association of the different types of networks that can use variety of protocols, for example, Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), and the like.
[0062] In an embodiment, the transport means can be operatively coupled with the control unit and the transceiver unit 1 can be driven using a remote, the computing device and the like.
[0063] For example, when the mouse trap 100 is placed at a place with mouse infestation the mouse will be lured to the mouse trap because of the food placed in the chamber 7. Now, when the mouse enters the set of sensors 11 detect the presence of mouse and based on detection the gate 20 is closed and the chambers rotates such that an empty chamber faces the gate and then the gate 20 is opened and a message is sent to the computing device of the user that the mouse is caught.
[0064] It would be appreciated by the person skilled in the art that the apparatus 100 can be used by users to lift the load more than the individual capacity of the individual user to lift the load, and the load can be lifted for extended period of time.

Similarly, any switches shown in the figures are conceptual only. Their function may be carried out through the operation of program logic, through dedicated logic, through the interaction of program control and dedicated logic, or even manually, the particular technique being selectable by the entity implementing this invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art further understand that the exemplary hardware, software, processes, methods, and/or operating systems described herein are for illustrative purposes and, thus, are not intended to be limited to any particular named.
[0068] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term "coupled to" is intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to each other contact each other) and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element is located between the two elements). Therefore, the terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are used synonymously. Within the context of this document terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are also used euphemistically to mean “communicatively coupled with” over a network, where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly via one or more intermediary device.
[0069] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all 12
terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms “comprises” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly referenced. Where the specification claims refers to at least one of something selected from the group consisting of A, B, C …. and N, the text should be interpreted as requiring only one element from the group, not A plus N, or B plus N, etc.
[0070] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable people having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
