    摘要: The present invention determines the resonant frequency of a sensor by adjusting the phase and frequency of an energizing signal until the frequency of the energizing signal matches the resonant frequency of the sensor. The system energizes the sensor with a low duty cycle, gated burst of RF energy having a predetermined frequency or set of frequencies and a predetermined amplitude. The energizing signal is coupled to the sensor via magnetic coupling and induces a current in the sensor which oscillates at the resonant frequency of the sensor. The system receives the ring down response of the sensor via magnetic coupling and determines the resonant frequency of the sensor, which is used to calculate the measured physical parameter. The system uses a pair of phase locked loops to adjust the phase and the frequency of the energizing signal.

    摘要: A coupling loop or antenna is provided that can be used with a system that determines the resonant frequency of a sensor by adjusting the phase and frequency of an energizing signal until the frequency of the energizing signal matches the resonant frequency of the sensor. In one embodiment multiple energizing loops energize an implanted sensor and a sensor coupling loop connected to an input impedance that is at least two times greater than the inductance of the sensor coupling loop receives the sensor signal.

    摘要: A retractable arm assembly for use in positioning a milker arm near the teats of a cow is disclosed. The retractable arm assembly allows a milker claw to be stored above a milking platform in a clean, safe position, and then automatically extended to the milking position and maintained in that position until the milker claw has been removed from the teats of the cow. The retractable arm assembly includes a movable milker arm having an interior chamber for receiving a chain to which the milker claw attaches. A lever arm connected to the milker arm faciliates movement of the milker arm in a downward and outward path around and behind the cow's rear leg. Both the chain and the milker arm can be selectively extended and retracted.
