20090013934AUTOMATIC SEPARATION OF ANIMAL MILK - The invention relates to, inter alia, a method for determining a modified waiting period for a milk-producing animal treated with a veterinary medicament. According to said method, at least one quantity of milk is determined during at least one time interval following the administration of the veterinary medicament, said interval being shorter than a pre-determined waiting period. A milk yield for the waiting period is predicted from the quantity of milk. A modified waiting period is determined on the basis of the predicted milk yield and a milk yield for the waiting period pre-determined by the veterinary medicament. The inventive method enables MRL values to be surely and reliably maintained, such that milk is separated according to the modified waiting period.01-15-2009
20100246970DEVICE AND A METHOD FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION ABOUT ANIMALS WHEN WALKING THROUGH AN ANIMAL PASSAGE - The invention relates to a device and method for providing information about animals walking through an animal passage (I), the information comprising at least the number of animals walking through the animal passage, using a detection device having a sensor device connected to a processor for capturing animal data about animals walking through the animal passage, and an analysis device for recognizing animals in the data/signals captured by the sensor device for the purpose of outputting counter impulses when animals are detected in said signals, the sensor device being designed for producing 3D images, and the analysis device being designed for detecting animals in the 3D data of the 3D images and for counting the animals using said detection.09-30-2010
20100263595METHOD FOR THE COMPUTER-BASED IDENTIFICATION OF MASTITIS - A method for the computer-based identification of mastitis of milk-producing animals of a herd, wherein individual animals are automatically identified by an animal identification means of a herd management system, and a milk sample assigned to the animal is taken and analyzed for the identification of mastitis. The method takes into account the fact that different animals in a herd have an individual tendency to contract mastitis, so that not all the animals in said herd have to be examined with the same frequency for a possible case of mastitis, and the method according to the invention correspondingly proposes that after the animal identification process, the herd management system decides whether a milk sample is taken and/or analyzed, based on animal-specific information that is stored in the herd management system.10-21-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090294337Device for Separating Flat Mail Items - An apparatus for separating flat mail items includes two transport devices for transporting two independently mobile stacks of mail items to an extraction device for extracting mail items from both stacks of mail items and supplying the mail items to a transport run. A single-component extraction element of the extraction device is provided for extracting mail items from the two stacks of mail items. An economical device for separating flat mail items from both stacks of mail items can be obtained, and the device generates a continuous flow of mail items.12-03-2009
20110192656APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR WEIGHING AN OBJECT DURING TRANSPORT - An apparatus and a method weigh an object, in particular a flat item of mail, during transport. A conveying device having an endless conveying belt and a counterpart conveying element is able to temporarily grip an object in a clamping region and to transport it in a transporting direction. Weighing scales are able to weigh the object while the object is gripped in a clamping region. The damping element is configured to damp vibrations of an object gripped in the clamping region. The damping element has a surface which is curved in the transporting direction. The endless conveying belt is guided in such a way around the curved surface that the endless conveying belt rests areally against the curved surface in a damping region and the endless conveying belt and the counterpart conveying element are configured to guide the object gripped in the clamping region past the curved surface.08-11-2011
