Title: Animal condition monitor including detecting means for identifying vapour components emanating from an animal's nostril and from milk
Inventor: MOTTRAM TOBY TREVOR FURY
IPC: G01N33/497
Filed: 1996-06-19
Abstract: Monitoring the exhalation of livestock, domestic animals and poultry can provide information on the health, diet or other condition of the animal.  Condition can be determined from a component of the exhalation, which may be an odour specific compound or other material.  It is therefore important that any monitoring is based on an accurately taken sample. Fig 1 shows schematically in part-sectional form an animal condition monitor for collecting the sample from the nostril of, for example, a cow. The body of the monitor is an inert, transparent plastic tube, which is free from odours and easily cleaned.    The ends of the tube can be closed in a gas-tight manner by closures 11 and 20 to enclose a space.  Closure 11 is pierced by a tube 13 through which gas can be withdrawn from or supplied to the space within space 10. Fig 3 shows a further form of monitor available suitable for use in a milking line to sample odour from milk contained in the line.

Title: Tongue and groove jointing and locking system for floor boards
Inventor: PERVAN DARKO
IPC: E04F15/04
Filed: 2002-01-14
Abstract: A locking tongue-and-groove flooring board system includes an undercut groove 36 on one long side of each board and cut into the core 30 of the board and a corresponding projecting tongue 38 on the opposite long side of the board and projecting out from the core of the board.
