Title: Dairy milking system with a controller which identifies different groups of cows and flushes the milking system automatically
Inventor: HULS MICHEL HUBERT JOHAN
IPC: A01J5/007
Filed: 2009-11-27
Abstract: 592892 Disclosed is a method and apparatus for milking a group of dairy animals (A, B) which is divided into at least two subgroups (A, B) such that a first subgroup (A) comprises dairy animals which give a first type of milk and a second subgroup (B) comprises dairy animals which give a second type of milk. The milking system (2) has to be flushed by a flushing device (11) after a dairy animal from the second subgroup (B) has been milked and before a dairy animal from the first subgroup (A) is milked. The milking system (2) milks the dairy animal after an identification system (10) identifies a dairy animal which presents itself for milking. A control device (12) decides whether the dairy animal presenting itself is to be milked and actuates the milking system (2) in order to milk a dairy animal if desired, and activates the flushing device (11) after the milking of a dairy animal from the second subgroup (B). The control device (12) is further configured to postpone the activation of the flushing device (11) until a subsequent dairy animal belonging to the first subgroup (A) has been identified and the decision has been made that the dairy animal from the first subgroup (A) presenting itself can be milked.

Title: A barrage shaped so as to increase the fluid velocity past a turbine
Inventor: KITTEL PETER JOHN
IPC: F03B15/02
Filed: 2011-08-19
Abstract: 606676 Disclosed is a barrage apparatus (100) for extracting energy from a fluid flow. The apparatus has a surface (110) adapted to increase the velocity of fluid flowing along the surface toward at least one turbine module (150). The turbine module has an inlet (170), a turbine (145), and an outlet (180), through which the increased velocity fluid respectively flows.

Title: Composition for treatment of warts
Inventor: LICHT FLEMMING
IPC: A61P17/12
Filed: 2012-05-28
Abstract: The present invention concerns the use of formic acid and at least one C1-C4 alkyl ester of lactic acid, preferably ethyl lactate, for the manufacture of a composition for the topical treatment of warts. The inclusion in the composition of at least one C1-C4 alkyl ester of lactic acid, preferably ethyl lactate, reduces the contact angle of the composition, i.e. reduces the surface tension. Decreased contact angle makes it easier for the composition to adhere to warts, and following to be absorbed by warts, i.e. improving the penetration of the composition of the invention. Additionally, reduced surface tension makes it easier to apply the composition in the adequate amount, with reduced risk of inadvertently smearing composition on adjacent, healthy skin.
