  • TOTAL MIXED RATIONS FOR RUMINANTS INCLUDING CEPHALARIA JOPPENSIS
    Publication number: 20170188603
    Abstract: A novel feed source for ruminants is prepared from the annual herbaceaous plant Cephalaria joppensis. The plant can be raised in the field, harvested and treated as hay or ensiled. Feed preparations such as total mixed rations (TMRs) including the harvested plant can form a substitute to roughage sources of the prior art without degrading the quality of the feed in terms of animal welfare and milk quality and quantity.

  • Piezoelectric-ferroelectric actuator device
    Patent number: 8138658
    Abstract: An actuator device is disclosed. The actuator device comprises a stack of piezoelectric-ferroelectric active layers separated by surface electrodes. At least a few of the surface electrodes are independently addressable such that at least two active layers are biasable by different voltages. In an embodiment of the invention, at least a few of the voltages induce a nonlinear ferroelectric effect.
