A humane animal trap includes an enclosure having an opening with a door disposed therein. The door is pivotable about an upper edge between open and closed positions, and is biased toward the closed position by a torsion spring. An electrical solenoid is disposed above the door and has a catch that is biased into engagement with a holding feature on the door when the door is in the open position, and is operable to disengage the catch from the holding feature in response to the receipt of an electrical trip signal. An electrical sensor disposed in the enclosure transmits a light beam between opposite sidewalls of the trap, and generates an electrical trip signal and transmits it to the solenoid when the light beam is interrupted by an animal entering the trap so as to close the door behind the animal and thereby capture it unharmed in the enclosure.

Presented is a humane wild animal trap device that includes a trigger mechanism having four easily assemblable elements for supporting the bait, a bottom flat sheet on which the trigger mechanism is supported when set and baited, and an enclosure the open side of which is superimposed on the flat bottom sheet and which enclosure is tilted upwardly from one end so that the elevated end rests on a selected one of the four elements included in the trigger mechanism and which element is released from a second element that supports the bait when a wild animal takes the bait, thus causing the elevated enclosure to fall onto the flat bottom sheet to trap the wild animal within the enclosure. The four elements of the trigger mechanism are interrelated in such a manner that two of the elements support the trigger mechanism while the other two elements are pivotally interengaged with one of the support elements and are releasably interengaged one with the other to support the tilted enclosure and the bait and to set the trap so that the enclosure falls when the bait is taken.

A device network sharing method and a device controlling method for sharing and controlling a device with a hardware identifier in a network structure system by connecting the device to the network structure system, letting the device log in a server by the hardware identifier of the device, and completing a verification of the device and announcing connection information of the device in the network structure system. Therefore, a client can complete networking settings of the device without complex networking setting steps. A user can use a controller to log in the server by the hardware identifier of the device, and then acquire connection information of the device, for setting or sharing the device. Thus, a client can search a device desired to be controlled in the network structure system without inputting the URL network address which cannot represent device properties.

To provide efficient and effective modeling of data set, the data set is initially separated into several subsets which can then be processed independently. The subsets themselves are chosen to have some internal commonality, thus providing effective independent tools where possible. This commonality may include correlation between variables or interaction amongst the variables in the subset. Once separated, each subset is independently modeled, creating a subset model having predictive qualities related to the data subset. Next, the subset models themselves are aggregated to generate a overall final model. This final model is predictive of outcomes based upon all data in the data set, thus providing a more robust stable model.
