Title: Mechanical milking process
Inventor: WARTENHORST BERNHARD SCHULZE
IPC: A01J5/00
Filed: 1995-01-24
Granted: 1997-04-24
Abstract: Before the main milking phase there is a mechanical stimulation phase divided into a pre-stimulation phase in which no significant quantity of milk is yet extracted and a subsequent control phase in which the change in the pressure cycle in the intermediate space in the udder cup reduces the intensity of the pressure exerted on the udder by the cup rubber in such a way that milk is extracted. The main milking phase starts as soon as the flow of milk exceeds a predetermined threshold which is selected so that adequate stimulation of the beasts is ensured and over-stimulation is prevented.

Title: Control apparatus and method for automatic filling machine
Inventor: IZZI ANTHONY J
IPC: B65B1/32
Filed: 1984-05-25
Granted: 1988-12-15
Abstract: A control apparatus for a filling machine of the type employing a hopper (12) and rotary feed auger (18) determines the exact number of auger revolutions required to deliver a preselected weight of material (16) to be dispensed by weighing the volume of material delivered by a given number of auger revolutions and computing the ratio of the number of auger revolutions to the weight of the volume delivered. The ratio is then divided into the desired weight to determine the actual number of auger revolutions required to deliver the desired weight. The control apparatus also measures the amount of rotation of the rotary auger (18) after the auger is braked at the end of each fill cycle and increments or decrements a preselected set point number of auger revolutions, depending upon whether the actual number of auger revolutions is greater than or less than the set point, to compensate for auger rotation after braking.
