Patent NZ-505401-A (NZ)
Title: Braking device for elevators incorporating load sensors
Inventor: ANGELIS CLAUDIO DE
IPC: B66B1/30
Filed: 2000-06-23
Abstract: A lift installation includes one or more brake mechanisms 1 that frictionally grip a guide rail 2 to hold the lift in place at landings.  Due to variations in the weight of the lift car due to persons or loads moving in and out of the lift, the tension on the lift cable varies.  This can cause jerking when the brake is released to allow the car to move.  Load sensors 11 such as strain gauges are fixed to the brake mechanism to detect vertical forces on the brake due to changes in tension of the lift cable.  The signals from the load sensors are fed to the lift controller to allow the cable to be pre-tensioned to reduce the vertical forces on the brake to zero.  This will prevent a sudden movement of the lift when the brake is released.  The brake may have two arms with friction material at the outer ends for gripping guide rail 2.  The arms are biased into contact with the rail by a spring acting through a toggle mechanism.  A hydraulic cylinder or solenoid is used to release the brake on a command from the lift controller.

Title: Method for controlling milking by a milking machine by pulsing a teat cup vacuum periodically
Inventor: SANDBERG OLA
IPC: A01J5/01
Filed: 2008-12-30
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling the milking by a milking machine. The machine comprises a plurality of teat cups (19), each teat cup having a flexible teat receiving liner arranged inside a rigid teat cup shell. During milking, a working vacuum is applied to the interior of the teat receiving liner of each teat cup to draw milk from a respective teat of a milking animal while the teat receiving liner of the respective teat cup is periodically opened and collapsed by application of a pulsating vacuum between the teat receiving liner and the teat cup shell. According to the method a flow level of milk drawn from the milking animal is measured and, if the measured flow level is above a threshold, the pulsation ratio of the periodic opening and collapsing of the teat receiving liner of one or more of the teat cups is decreased for a following part of the milking or for a following milking of the milking animal.
