  • Publication number: 20250166091
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for managing a herd are described herein. The systems include a processor configured to receive livestock data from a herd management software system. The herd management system is configured to receive source data from each data source of a plurality of data sources. The source data includes health data for the herd of livestock. The herd management system is also configured to normalize the source data received from each data source of the plurality of data sources to link the source data from each of the data sources for a specified livestock of the herd and generate the livestock data. The processor is also configured to create a data model based on the livestock data. The data model identifies a trend in the health data of the herd of livestock. The processor is also configured to, based on the data model and the identified trend, generate a task for managing the herd of livestock.

  • Patent number: 10319541
    Abstract: A rotary motion switching apparatus is usable with a circuit interrupter and employs an attachment system in order to resist removal of the rotary motion switching apparatus from the circuit interrupter. The attachment system has three connectors that are engaged with an exterior surface of a housing of the circuit interrupter. The portions of the housing that are engaged by the three connectors are pre-existing portions of the exterior surface of the housing of the circuit interrupter.

  • Patent number: 10312046
    Abstract: A rotary motion switching apparatus is usable with a circuit interrupter that is situated in a NEMA box or other box and employs an attachment system. An access port that is formed in a wall of the NEMA box or other box permits a shaft having a handle at an end thereof to be connected with the rotary motion switching apparatus. The rotary motion switching apparatus includes a universal joint on a rotational component that enables operation of the handle and shaft without binding on the wall of the NEMA or other box even if the access port in the box is offset from an axis of rotation of the rotational component.

  • Patent number: 10312037
    Abstract: A rotary motion switching apparatus is usable with a circuit interrupter and employs an attachment system having a pair of connectors that are received in a pair of openings formed in a housing of a circuit interrupter and that are affixed to the housing within the openings in order to resist removal of the rotary motion switching apparatus from the circuit interrupter. The openings are pre-existing in the housing of the circuit interrupter and are provided to enable access by tools with terminals of the circuit interrupter to which load wires and the like are connectable. The connectors thus secure the rotary motion switching apparatus to the circuit interrupter by using openings that are already formed in the circuit interrupter and thus the rotary motion switching apparatus is usable without requiring a modification to the housing or to the molds that are employed to form the housing.
