Automatic Milking
Automatic milking is the milking of dairy animals, especially of dairy cattle, without human labour. Automatic milking systems (AMS), also called voluntary milking systems (VMS), were developed in the late 20th century. They have been commercially available since the early 1990s. The core of such systems that allows complete automation of the milking process is a type of agricultural robot. Automated milking is therefore also called robotic milking. Common systems rely on the use of computers and special herd management software. They can also be used to monitor the health status of cows. Automated milking Basics – milking process and milking schedules The milking process is the collection of tasks specifically devoted to extracting milk from an animal (rather than the broader field of dairy animal husbandry). This process may be broken down into several sub-tasks: collecting animals before milking, routing animals into the parlour, inspection and cleaning of teats, attachm ...

Schläfli Double Six
In geometry, the Schläfli double six is a configuration of 30 points and 12 lines, introduced by . The lines of the configuration can be partitioned into two subsets of six lines: each line is disjoint from ( skew with) the lines in its own subset of six lines, and intersects all but one of the lines in the other subset of six lines. Each of the 12 lines of the configuration contains five intersection points, and each of these 30 intersection points belongs to exactly two lines, one from each subset, so in the notation of configurations the Schläfli double six is written 125302. Construction As Schläfli showed, the double six may be constructed from any five lines ''a''1, ''a''2, ''a''3, ''a''4, ''a''5, that are all intersected by a common line ''b''6, but are otherwise in general position (in particular, each two lines ''a''''i'' and ''a''''j'' should be skew, and no four of the lines ''a''''i'' should lie on a common ruled surface). For each of the five lines ''a''''i'', t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Boxcars (slang)
Craps is a dice game in which players bet on the outcomes of the roll of a pair of dice. Players can wager money against each other (playing "street craps") or against a bank ("casino craps"). Because it requires little equipment, "street craps" can be played in informal settings. While shooting craps, players may use slang terminology to place bets and actions. History In 1788, "Krabs" (later spelled crabs) was an English variation on the dice game hazard (also spelled hasard). Craps developed in the United States from a simplification of the western European game of hazard. The origins of hazard are obscure and may date to the Crusades. Hazard was brought from London to New Orleans in approximately 1805 by the returning Bernard Xavier Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville, the young gambler and scion of a family of wealthy landowners in colonial Louisiana. Although in hazard the dice shooter may choose any number from five to nine to be his main number, de Marigny si ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
