  • Patent number: 11960957
    Abstract: A system for tracing members of an animal population throughout a process including moving at least some of the members between a plurality of physically separate locations, the system comprising: a plurality of identification devices, each being attached to, and uniquely identifying, a respective member of the members; a plurality of identification device readers, each capable of being located at a respective physically separate location of the physically separate locations, and each capable of reading the identification devices to uniquely identify the respective member; a data repository comprising one or more records, each of the records (i) being associated with a respective member of the members, and (ii) including a unique animal identifier associated with the identification device attached to the respective member of the members; and a processing circuitry configured to perform a process for storing location change records indicative of location changes of the members during the process.

  • Patent number: 9933153
    Abstract: A lighting and fan combination device is disclosed where the lighting can be mounted on a housing of the fan. One or more light and fan combination members can be connected to a mount that allows the device to be mounted to a wall, ceiling, or other structure. The lighting component may be separable from the fan housing and can be interchanged with other types of lighting components. The lighting elements may be LEDs or other lighting elements.

  • Patent number: 5668085
    Abstract: Aqueous concentrates containing glyphosate herbicide which on dilution give spray solutions having higher herbicidal unit activity than prior art solutions comprise:(a) solubilized glyphosate equivalent to at least 40 grams per liter of glyphosate acid;(b) a surfactant which is (i) an amine having the formula ##STR1## where R represents a straight- or branched-chain alkyl or alkenyl group having from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms, A represents an alkylene group, for example an ethylene or propylene group, and n and n' are integers such that n+n' has a value of from about 2 to about 8, (ii) a mixture of such amines having different groups R, the average number of carbon atoms in the groups R being from about 8 to about 22, or (iii) a mixture of such amines having different values of n and n', n and n' being integers such that in the mixture the average value of n+n' is from about 2 to about 8, R having a single value or an average value as in a mixture (ii);and optionally (c) an agriculturally acceptable in
