Title: A method and apparatus for monitoring a milking process
Inventor: WILSON ALLAN WALTER
IPC: A01J5/007
Filed: 2012-09-13
Abstract: A method of monitoring a milking process by a milking apparatus (1) with a teatcup (2, 3, 4, 5) with a pulsation space (33) and a pulsation airline (7) configured to deliver varying levels of pressure to the pulsation space. The method comprises:  measuring at least one property of a vibrational signal within the airline with a vibration sensor (11);  comparing a value of the measured property with a reference value; and  determining a condition of the milking process based on the comparison. The vibrational signal can be a sound signal from to the displacement of air into and out of the pulsation space. This sound in the airline correlates to the extent to which a teat has entered a teatcup, and is a good indication of the connection of the teatcup to that teat. The sound is furthermore a cleaner signal than a sound signal in a milkline. Also provided is a robotic automatic milking implement incorporating the method.

Abstract: A misalignment calculation system comprising a misalignment calculator for calculating a misalignment amount occurring when welding two steep pipes with their end faces being abutted against each other. The system uses profile data measured in a circumferential direction on the end portion of both steel pipes by presetting both angle datum of the pipes. The misalignment calculator calculates the misalignment amount in a state in which an angle formed between both angle datum is adjusted to an input angle and in which the center of profile data showing an external surface geometry at an end portion of one steel pipe is aligned with the center of the profile data showing an external surface geometry at an end portion of the other steel pipe. Thus, the misalignment occurring when performing butt welding can be quantified and evaluated.

Abstract: The lowside of a casing joint is protected from wear while milling a casing exit for a lateral borehole. The casing joint is coupled to a casing string and is made of a material that is softer than that of the casing string. A whipstock assembly is arranged within the casing joint and has a deflector surface operable to direct a drilling assembly into a sidewall of the casing joint to create the casing exit. A wear sleeve is coupled to and extends axially from the whipstock assembly, the wear sleeve defining a throat that extends axially along the axial length of the wear sleeve and transitions into the deflector surface. The axial length of the wear sleeve extends beyond a point of contact where the drilling assembly would otherwise engage the lowside of the casing joint.

Abstract: This application describes methods and apparatus for remotely indicating a location of interest in an area, for instance the location of an event in the area. The method comprises positioning an acoustic source at the location of interest,activating the acoustic source to produce a predetermined acoustic output and performing distributed acoustic sensing on at least one optical fibre deployed at least partly in the area. The acoustic source thus acts as an acoustic marker which can be remotely detected by the distributed acoustic sensor. The acoustic signals detected by the distributed acoustic sensor are therefore analysed to detect said predetermined acoustic output and determine the location of the acoustic source. The method is particularly applicable to transport networks already provided with optical fibre along the length of the network and can be used to indicate the location of work parties or emergencies.
