Abstract: An arrangement and a method for supporting dairy animal management, with a portable milking unit operable to communicate using short-range wireless communication and a wireless user equipment operable to communicate using short-range wireless communication, where the portable milking unit provides data related to a milking session of a specific dairy animal directly to the wireless user equipment over a short-range wireless link, and the wireless user equipment receives the data directly from the portable milking unit over the short-range wireless link. The received data includes information indicative of a milk yield of the specific dairy animal during the milking session, and the wireless user equipment stores the received data in a memory, retrieves previously stored data related to one or more previous milking sessions, and provides a representation of the received data and the retrieved previously stored data on a display.

Abstract: A device for stabilizing an elongated steel sheet when continuously transporting the steel sheet in a transport direction along a predetermined transport path. The device includes at least a first pair, a second pair and a third pair of electromagnets with at least one electromagnet on each side of the steel sheet. The electromagnets are adapted to stabilize the steel sheet with respect to the predetermined transport path. The first and second electromagnets are elongated in a direction essentially perpendicular to the transport direction. The first and second electromagnets are substantially arranged on each side of a longitudinal center line for the steel sheet. The center line is essentially parallel to the transport direction. The third electromagnet is arranged adjacent to the center line.

Abstract: A device for controlling the thickness of a metallic coating on an elongated metallic element formed by continuously transporting the element through a bath of molten metal. The device includes at least one pair of electromagnetic wiper members and a second wiper member associated with the at least one pair of electromagnetic wiper members.

Abstract: A device and a method for stabilizing an elongated metallic strip of a magnetic material when coating the strip with a metallic layer. The strip is transported from the bath in a direction of transport along a predetermined transport path. A wiping device for wiping off superfluous molten metal from the strip applies an air flow in a line across the strip, where the wiping device includes at least one pair of air-knives arranged with one air-knife on each side of the strip. An electromagnetic stabilizing device stabilizes the position of the strip with respect to the predetermined transport path. A sensor detects the position of the strip in relation to the predetermined transport path.

The device comprises magnet members (6, 7) for applying a magnetic field varying with time and being substantially fixed in the room to the liquid metal in the mould (1).

Abstract: A chill mold for the simultaneous casting of two parallel strands and a magnetic brake which generates at least one static or periodic low frequency magnetic field. The chill mold includes a rectangular casting mold and an inner partition which subdivides the rectangular casting mold into two sub-molds, and the magnetic field acts with essentially the same magnetic field direction across the entire width of the rectangular casting mold and has an essentially symmetrical distribution in both sub-molds. The brake includes a first magnet at a first long side of the rectangular casting mold and a second magnet of opposite polarity at the opposite second long side of the rectangular casting mold. The magnetic material in the first and second magnets is distributed such that both magnets have two magnetic sub-poles of the same polarity arranged adjacent to each other along each of the two long-sides of the rectangular casting mold.
