    Abstract: A method comprises receiving a displacement signal generated by a sensor, the displacement signal generated by the sensor in response to detecting movement of a piston from a retracted position in a cylinder toward an extended position in the cylinder. The method further comprises generating, in response to receiving the displacement signal, a valve control signal to be communicated to a valve located on a vacuum line connecting a vacuum source to a vacuum port of the cylinder. The valve control signal causes the valve to move from a first position in which a vacuum pressure is applied to the cylinder via the vacuum port to a second position in which atmospheric pressure is applied to the cylinder via the vacuum port.

    Abstract: A system comprises a memory and a processor. The memory stores information about a milking stall where a dairy livestock is located at a first time, and a coordinate location of the dairy livestock at a second time. The processor is communicatively coupled to the memory and determines if the coordinate location of the dairy livestock at the second time is different than the milking stall where the dairy livestock is located at the first time. If the coordinate location where the dairy livestock is located at the second time is not the milking stall, the processor generates an error flag associated with the dairy livestock.

    Abstract translation: 系统包括存储器和处理器。 记忆体存储关于第一次有奶牛场所在的挤奶摊位的信息,以及第二次的奶牛家畜的坐标位置。 处理器通信地耦合到存储器,并且确定在第二时间的奶牛家畜的坐标位置是否不同于在第一次奶牛场所在的挤奶档位。 如果奶牛家畜第二次坐标位置不是挤奶失速,则处理器产生与奶牛家畜相关的错误标志。

    Abstract: A method, comprises receiving a flow of milk at an inlet of a manifold. The inlet comprises a first end coupled to a hose that receives a flow of milk from a teat cup and a second end terminating in a chamber of the manifold. The manifold comprises one or more other inlets and a plurality of outlets. The plurality of outlets includes one or more milk collector outlets and one or more drain outlets. The method proceeds by causing the flow of milk to be directed to a corresponding milk collector outlet by causing a shut-off valve corresponding to the inlet to open, and by causing a drain valve corresponding to the inlet to close. The method concludes by causing the flow of milk to be directed to a corresponding drain outlet by causing the shut-off valve corresponding to the inlet to close, and by causing the drain valve corresponding to the inlet to open.

    Abstract translation: 一种方法,包括在歧管的入口处接收牛奶流。 入口包括联接到软管的第一端,其接收来自奶杯的牛奶流,以及终止在歧管的腔室中的第二端。 歧管包括一个或多个其它入口和多个出口。 多个出口包括一个或多个集奶器出口和一个或多个排水出口。 通过使对应于入口的截止阀打开,并且通过使与入口对应的排水阀关闭,导致牛奶的流动被引导到相应的收集器出口。 该方法的结论是通过使对应于入口的截止阀关闭并通过使与入口相对应的排放阀打开来将牛奶的流动引导到相应的排出口。

    Abstract: A milking system includes a rotary milking platform having a plurality of milking stalls and a plurality of milking devices, each milking device configured for attachment to the teats of a dairy livestock located in a corresponding milking stall of the rotary milking platform. The system further includes one or more robotic devices operable to perform one or more functions, including preparing the teats of a dairy livestock for the attachment of a milking apparatus, attaching a milking apparatus to the teats of a dairy livestock, and applying a sanitizing agent to the teats of a dairy livestock subsequent to the removal of a milking apparatus from the teats of the dairy livestock. Each of the one or more functions performed by the one or more robotic devices is performed during a period of time when the rotary milking platform is substantially stationary.
