First in a series of unrealized transducers. This particular sensor will monitor the environment for foul odors and emit a bright light upon detection. I submit that if placed discretely near or on a potentially offending individual the benefits of this device as a flatulence detector are obvious, maybe even profound.

       Can it be controlled to still point at the dog?

       The generation II version (computer controlled) will be able to descriminate between animal species.

       How would you quantify 'foul'?
