  • Patent number: 11215497
    Abstract: A movable and modular device (100) for dynamic weighing of animals includes an identifying module (1) and a weighing module (2). The identifying module (1) includes a supporting structure (11), a processing module (12), a solar panel (13), an antenna (14), and an identifier (15); and a weighing module (2) comprising: a base (20), at least one pair of sidewalls (21), at least one weighing platform (22), at least one load cell (23), and at least one amplifier and transmission box (24). The device (100) is capable of providing the precise weight of each animal passing over the scale, wherein weighing can occur both when the animal stops on the scale and when it moves on the scale, and especially having movable characteristics, without the need for the animals to move from one area to another through a passageway formed between these two areas.

  • Patent number: 9303606
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a fuel rail made of plastic material with a heating system (10,100). The said rail is applied, mainly, in the form of devices for aiding the cold start of engines which consume fuels whose specific vaporization heat is high, for example, alcohol. The fuel rail made of plastic material with a heating system presents reduced cost and weight and the same functional characteristics if compared to the fuel rails known by the state of the art, which are usually made of metal. Furthermore, the said fuel rail made of plastic material with a heating system presents internal compartments configured in such a manner that the sliders containing slide pins (51, 52, 53) of the injection mold can be easily removed, since there is no formation of negative faces.
