Abstract: A method of suppressing retroreflector fringe noise in TDL spectrometers (TDLS) that use a laser and retroreflector. The path between the laser and each retroreflector element is changed mechanically for example by using a movable support for the retroreflector. The phase of light reaching the retroreflectors is very sensitive to the pathlength. A pathlength change of a fraction of the light wavelength will significantly change the phase of the light. In this method the pathlength to each retroreflector is modulated by mechanical means and this modulation is both stronger and faster than atmospheric effects on phase. If mechanical modulation occurs at a sufficiently high frequency retroreflector fringe noise can be averaged by integration of the spectrometer output over a reading period of typically one second.

Abstract: The mass flow rate of milk flowing in a pipe in pulsed milk slugs is determined by sampling a signal from a microphone indicative of sonic signals produced by the milk flow. A microprocessor applies a Fast Fourier Transform to the sampled signal to produce the frequency domain of the sampled signal. The microprocessor computes the average energy value of the sampled signal in a relevant frequency band during consecutive monitoring periods. The average energy values are inserted into a calibration equation to convert the average energy value to a mass flow rate. The total mass flow of milk flowing through the pipeline during a period T1-T2 is determined by integrating the determined mass flow rate of milk from T1-T2. Disengagement of a milking cluster from the animal teats during milking is determined when the monitored microphone signal transitions to a continuous relatively high energy noise signal indicative of air.
