Abstract: A control arrangement and a control module for a milking position for milking a dairy animal includes a casing forming an inner space enclosing a printed circuit board incorporating a control system for controlling and supervising at least some functions of the milking position. A communication area is provided on a front side of the printed circuit board and communicates with the control system. The casing includes an inner front plate. The front side of the printed circuit board is attached to a rear side of the inner front plate by a transparent adhering substance so that a part of the printed circuit board projects from the rear side of the inner front plate. The inner front plate permits access to the communication area. The part of the printed circuit board is embedded in a block of plastic material.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically matching a sensor device attached to an animal with an ID tag attached to the animal, wherein a reader device, located in or alongside a passage of an animal enclosure, transmits a signal toward the animal in the passage that triggers the ID tag to transmit ID information, and a monitoring device in communication with the reader device receives the ID information from the reader device, receives sensor device information from the sensor device including a sensor device identity, and determines that the ID tag and the sensor device are attached to a same animal based on time information associated with the ID information and the sensor device information.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically matching a sensor device attached to an animal with an ID tag attached to the animal, wherein a handheld reader device triggers transmission of sensor device information from the sensor device and triggers transmission of ID information from the ID tag, and a monitoring device, in communication with the handheld reader device, is configured to determine and record that the ID tag and the sensor device are attached to a same animal based on time information associated with both the ID information transmitted from the ID tag and the sensor device information transmitted from the sensor device.

Abstract: A wear ring for guidance of two machine components are arranged movably relative to one another along/around a movement axis, which is formed in one piece from a plastic or a reinforced plastic material and which is slit such that it has two free ends. The wear ring has a cross-sectional width W, which at least sectionally, increases in a radial direction towards the rear side of the wear ring. The wear ring has one or more recesses formed on its front side and/or on its the rear side for increasing its deformability and thus facilitate mounting thereof in a mounting groove of a machine element. Furthermore, a wear ring arrangement with a wear ring can be clipped into a mounting groove of one of the machine components of the wear ring arrangement.

Abstract: The present invention relates to transmitting a communication message from a first user operating a first communication device to user operating at least a second communication device, wherein the first communication device comprises a switch, a presentation device, a selection device and a recording device. The invention comprises detecting activation/deactivation of the switch in the first communication device occurring by operation of the switch by the first user; operating the recording device while the switch is activated; digitally encoding the information recorded by the recording device, and; packaging the digitally encoded information into a digital message and sending the digital message to the network address identified by the record selected by the user when the switch is deactivated without any further actions from the user.
