Abstract: An apparatus for examining a flowable material comprises a tube having an opening for receiving material and an opening for discharging material. Further, the tube comprises a segment adapted for making measurements. Adjacent the tube section there is a measuring device having a light source on one side for transmitting light into the segment and a light receiver on the opposite side to measure the effect upon the light of a material placed in the segment. At the beam path between the light source and the light receiver, the walls of the tube segment are made of a material being translucent or transparent to the range of light wavelengths to be examined. A recording unit connected to the measuring device records individual measurement values or sets of same on material placed in the tube segment.

Adjacent the tube section there is a measuring device having a light source on one side for transmitting light into the segment and a light receiver on the opposite side to measure the effect upon the light of a material placed in the segment. At the beam path between the light source and the 36 light receiver, the walls of the tube segment are made of a material being translucent or transparent to the range of light wavelengths to be examined. A recording unit connected to the measuring device records individual measurement values or sets of same on material placed in the tube segment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of mixing inhomogeneous flowable food material, fodder material, or pharmaceutical material in a tank provided with mixing devices. The method comprises measuring and registering the content of one or a number of components in samples taken from the material in the tank.

Abstract: For determining properties of individual livestock carcass, in particular cattle carcasses, a carcass or half of a split carcass is placed in a light-screening chamber in front of a light-emitting, contrasting surface. The carcass stands out as a dark silhouette against the contrasting surface and a picture of one entire side of the carcass is registered by means of a video camera. The contour of the carcass is determined by processing the registered picture in a data processing system, and on the basis of the contour determined in the processing system, a calculation of the parameters is performed in the data processing system for determining the properties of the carcass, the result of the determination being displayed or printed out.
