Abstract: A pool structure uses an installation to receive a treadmill within the pool. The installation has a pan which is embedded within the floor of the pool. A duct projects from the pan through a sidewall of the pool. A motor uses a mechanical transmission extending through the sidewall to provide motive power to the treadmill. Anchoring studs, which are drilled into the pool floor, are attached to the pan via a structural angle weldment.

Abstract: Described herein is a system and a method to conduct for inline estimation of milk parameters such as fat, protein, lactose, somatic cell contents (SCC), and progesterone during the milking process that can be performed real time during the milking process with a commercially acceptable level of accuracy. In one example embodiment, specific wavelengths are identified that facilitate the use of low-cost Near-Infrared (NIR) Spectrometers and sensors to develop the inline, real time estimation system, with at least two segments or ranges being identified of NIR wavelengths for determining content or composition for these key parameters.

Abstract: An audio system with first and second discrete audio drivers that are in a listening space, wherein each driver is configured to radiate sound into the listening space, and wherein the radiated sound from each driver at a listening location in the listening space has a frequency, phase, and magnitude. The audio system is configured to modify a phase of the sound radiated by at least one of the first or second drivers such that a phase response difference between the first and second drivers at the listening location is closer to zero degrees than it was before the modification.

Abstract: A bovine monitoring system may include a rumination sensor, a motion sensor, a posture sensor. The rumination sensor may detect chewing by sensing jaw motion. The motion sensor may detect motion. The posture sensor may detect orientation of the bovine asset through detection of gravitational acceleration, detection of gyroscopic rotation, or a combination of gravitational acceleration and gyroscopic rotation. Using the recorded rumination, motion, and posture sensors, the bovine asset monitoring system may identify aberrations in the estrous cycle or physical or mental health of the bovine assets. A bovine monitoring system may include a thermal scanning device to detect localized heating of the vulva area of the bovine asset, which may be used to identify aberrations in the estrous cycle or physical or mental health of the bovine assets.

Abstract: A method or system for distributed asset location monitoring may include determining a current device location of a mobile electronic device, sending the current device location to an asset-tracking device, receiving a previous asset location from the asset-tracking device, and storing the current device location and the previous asset location in an asset-tracking record. In some examples, the asset-tracking device includes a Bluetooth radio tag, and the loss or the acquisition of the Bluetooth signal generates the event signal to capture the time stamp and geographic location of the asset and map that data in the cloud. In some examples, the asset-tracking device includes an environmental data logger, and the Bluetooth tag may store environmental data including temperature, humidity, barometric elevation, or acceleration.

Abstract: Methods and systems for detection of removable vehicle seats may be used to indicate presence or absence of a child in the vehicle. In some examples, an alarm system includes a radio frequency (RF) transceiver and a removable seat magnetic coupling. Various actions are triggered when the parent (e.g., guardian) goes beyond a predefined range while the removable seat is within the vehicle, such as sounding an alarm on a mobile electronic device.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a transmitted signal containing an object identifier at multiple dispersed antennas, and utilizing inverse Kriging to identify a probable location of each object within a reception area. An object being tracked may detect an event, generate a communication indicative of the event and an object identifier, and transmit the communication to multiple receivers to identify a location of the object.

Abstract: A system includes a temperature sensor and circuitry to collect information from the temperature sensor and transmit the information to a server. The temperature sensor and circuitry are formed as an integrated node adapted to be placed on an exposed skin area of a tail, or on a hoof wall of an animal. The server processes the information and may transmit the information to one or more remote devices. A strain gage may also be included in the node to attach to the hoof wall.
