Abstract: A gripper device mountable on a robot arm (10) of a milking robot (2) provided for automatically attach teat cups (5) to the teats of a milking animal, the gripper device comprises an electromagnet (6) from gripping teat cups made of a magnetic material, the electromagnet including a coil (31) feedable with a current a core (33) of a magnetic material arranged at least partly within the coil; and a support structure (7) for holding the electromagnet. The core comprises two end and portions (33a-b) in a single face of the electromagnet, wherein the two end portions constitute different poles of the electromagnet, and are shaped to be engagable with each of the teat cups in a close fit.

Abstract: An arrangement for fetching a teat cup from a teat cup magazine in which each teat cup has a respective fixed position includes a reference entity in a fixed spatial relationship to the teat cup magazine and each teat cup stored therein; a remote detecting element that registers wireless energy reflected by the reference entity, and based thereon determines a respective position for the teat cup relative to a robotic arm. The robotic arm carries a gripper element configured to hold the teat cup during removal thereof from the teat cup magazine. The reference entity is configured to allow the remote detecting element to receive wireless energy reflected against the reference entity while moving the robotic arm towards the least one teat cup for removing the at least teat cup from the teat cup magazine.

Abstract: A novel detection or quantifying method for biological entities or molecules such as, but not limited to, DNA, microorganisms and pathogens, proteins and antibodies, that by themselves are target molecules or from which target molecules are extracted, comprises the steps of i) forming target molecule-dependent volume-amplified entities, ii) allowing magnetic nanoparticles to bind to said volume-amplified entities, and iii) measuring changes in dynamic magnetic response of the magnetic nanoparticles caused by the increase in hydrodynamic volume of said magnetic nanoparticles or measuring the magnetic field due to the magnetic nanoparticles as they bind to a sensor surface functionalized with a secondary capturing probe. Biosensors and kits are adapted to be used in such a method.

Abstract: A method of assembling resilient floorboards is disclosed that includes the step of bending an edge of a floorboard during the assembling. The bending reduces the force required for connection of the edge to another edge of a juxtaposed floorboard.

Abstract: A nucleic acid amplification method, and probes for use within the method are described.

Abstract: A method for producing an all purpose harmless fire retardant protein free composition that is adaptable to be incorporated into a range of differing material, of which said material forms an intermediate or finished product requiring fire retardant characteristics, said method including the steps of, (A) dissolving a mono-carboxylic acid, selected from a group, consisting of at least one of, or a combination therefore, of formic acid, acetic acid, stearic acid and/or benzoic acid, and/or an anhydrous di-carboxylic acid selected from a group, consisting of at least one of, or a combination therefore, of oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid and/or glutaric acid, and/or an anhydrous tri-carboxylic acid, consisting of citric acid in an acetic acid solvent forming a solution with a pH in the range of 1.0 to 3.

Abstract: A system for, method of and computer program product captures performance-characteristic data from the execution of a program and models system performance based on that data. Performance-characterization data based on easily captured reuse distance metrics is targeted, defined as the total number of memory references between two accesses to the same piece of data. Methods for efficiently capturing this kind of metrics are described. These data can be refined into easily interpreted performance metrics, such as performance data related to caches with LRU replacement and random replacement strategies in combination with fully associative as well as limited associativity cache organizations. Methods for assessing cache utilization as well as parallel execution are covered.

Abstract: The self-supporting weather proof dome envelops outdoor objects. The dome is made of a material and structure that maintains the shape of the dome and clearance between the dome and the objects whereby the dome has an inner structure that withstands external pressure forces and an outer structure that through pulling forces on the outer structure holds the inner structure together. The outer and inner structures are not bonded to each other and at least the outer structure is attachable to a base mount. The dome consists of an inner structure made of form rigid cellular plastic. The enveloped outer structure consists of an UV-resistant plastic fabric wind-stopper.
