  • Patent number: 11594060
    Abstract: An animal information management system includes an identification information obtaining unit which obtains identification information of an animal included in a first image, based on the first image captured by an imaging device during patrol imaging of a predetermined region in a first zoom setting in which only part of the predetermined region is an imaging target, the animal being included in animals present in the predetermined region; and a control unit which causes the imaging device to capture a second image including the animal in a second zoom setting having a zooming magnification lower than that of the first zoom setting when the identification information is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20220354091
    Abstract: An animal information management system includes a storage and an information processor. The information processor causes an imaging device to perform tracking imaging of a pig, and accumulates still pictures including the pig in the storage, the still pictures being obtained during the tracking imaging. The information processor brings the imaging device into a zoom-in state having a zooming magnification higher than that during the tracking imaging when a predetermined requirement for the accumulated still pictures is satisfied, obtains the identification information of the pig by causing the imaging device in the zoom-in state to capture an image of the pig, and stores the identification information in the storage, in association with the accumulated still pictures.

  • Patent number: 9591815
    Abstract: A plant cultivation device includes a plurality of boxes, a connection unit, and an end section unit. Each box is provided in an inner space thereof with a cultivation chamber and a light source housing chamber. The plurality of boxes are arranged in a line. The connection unit mutually connects two adjacent boxes. The end section unit is mounted to an end section of a box which is arranged in an end of the line. The end section of the box is unconnected to the connection unit. Each box includes a ventilation opening for ventilating the cultivation chamber, and a ventilation port for air cooling the light source housing chamber. Each of the connection unit and the end section unit includes a first ventilation passage through which air flows into the ventilation opening, and a second ventilation passage through which air flows into the ventilation port.

  • Publication number: 20140318012
    Abstract: A plant growing device 1 is provided with a ventilation unit 6 including an intake unit 61 for taking the air into a growing chamber R and an exhaust unit 62 for exhausting the air from the growing chamber R. The ventilation unit 6 operates in either an intake/exhaust mode for taking the air into and exhausting the air from the growing chamber R or a circulation mode in which the air is circulated in the growing chamber R. By switching between these two modes, CO2 is taken into the growing chamber R and gas concentration, a temperature, and a humidity in the growing chamber R become uniform, leading to an improvement of the growing efficiency of plants P.
