  • Patent number: 10212951
    Abstract: A system for trussing slaughtered birds comprises a conveyer provided with at least one bird holder for transporting a bird to at least one working position along the transport path of the conveyer, a bird trussing station located at the working position, which station includes a trussing module defining a working zone, and a mechanical arrangement for bringing the bird within the working zone in predetermined position and orientation relative thereto to allow for operation of the trussing module according to a trussing pattern by which a trussing element catches and maintains the bird in a trussed condition. The system further comprises a controller operatively connected to the conveyer and the bird trussing station. The system may also comprise a bird's legs crossing station located at a working position upstream the trussing station where the trussing of bird's legs is desired.

  • Patent number: 8484150
    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the invention may include systems and methods for asset condition monitoring in electrical power substation equipment. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for detecting behavior in electrical substation equipment. The method may include receiving realtime data associated with a plurality of parameters associated with the substation equipment, storing at least a portion of the realtime data over a period of time, wherein the stored data comprises historical data, comparing the realtime and historical data, and generating a report based at least in part on a comparison of the realtime data and historical data.
