摘要:
A seed monitoring system (148, 200, 500) is disclosed. The seed monitoring system (148, 200, 500) comprising: a light source (210, 510) configured to emit light in an interior of a seed tube (142); a plurality of light receivers (220, 520), each of the plurality of light receivers (220, 520) configured to receive light in at least two sectors of a plurality of sectors (61 0a, 610b 610c, 61 0d) of a plane (610) in the interior of the seed tube (142) and generate a sensing signal corresponding to the received light; a processing system including a plurality of conditioning channels (420a, 420b, 420c), the processing system configured to process the sensing signals to generate conditioned signals; and a controller (250, 550) configured to generate a seed count value based on the generated conditioned signals. Further a method of monitoring seeds is disclosed.
摘要:
The invention refers to a dose counter device for an inhaler (1) that in a reliable way will register a delivered dose from a canister (6) comprised in the inhaler, and that at the same time substantially will reduce the risk of falsely register a dose not delivered. Thus, the present invention will in an effective way, substantially avoid miscalculations of delivered doses from the canister.

Counter mechanisms for measuring the useful life of a reposable or disposable device include an actuator that drives a counter each time the device is used, sterilized and/or two or more parts of the device are fitted together. A display may be provided to display the number of times the counter is driven. A signaling device may also be provided that is responsive to the device having been used a specified number of times (based on the actual number of uses, sterilizations and/or fitting of two or more parts together) to provide an indication of when the device should no longer be used. Further, a disabling mechanism may be provided to prevent further use of the device after the specified number of uses.
摘要:
A hand-carried counting device with which a counter is stepped forwards through one increment in response to the depression of a count key. The invention is characterised in that the counting device (1) is electronic and includes at least three different count keys (2-4) for counting the numbers of three mutually different objects; in that depression of a key (2-4) causes an electric signal to be sent to a register (8) belonging to a microprocessor (5) or the like in the device, the register relating to the key (2-4) that has been depressed; in that the device includes a function key (6) which when depressed once or repeatedly causes the microprocessor (5) to perform at least the function that causes the current count values in the various registers to be shown on a display (7) belonging to the device (1).

摘要:
An immunodiagnostic test method includes holding a selection of immunological test elements (20, 30) in one or more containers, e.g. sleeves (193), attached to or positioned in the analyzer (60) and providing random access to any test element therein. The container (193) can hold multiple types of test elements in compartments or slots (200). Through sensing of a test element position in its slot, the detection mechanism of the invention provides for random access to multiple types of test elements in a sleeve (193), and provides efficient inventory control. The method increases the number of test element types that may be loaded onto an analyzer and maintains fast determination of inventory.
摘要:
An applicator counter and assembly (100) for counting, recording and transmitting cycles of machines, tools and the like for operative association with an applicator or the like. The applicator counter assembly (100) includes an applicator counter (200) for counting, recording and transmitting cycles of the applicator. The applicator counter (200) includes a magnetically responsive switch capable of being actuated in response to a magnetic force, whereby the applicator counter (200) registers a count for each actuation of the switch.
