20140232381 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE, SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH DEVICE AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF CAGE CONDITION AND PRESENCE - The present invention concerns an electronic device, particularly for detecting and control the environment of an animal housing, such as a cage, thus being able to automatically detect and control animal's immediate environment. Furthermore, the present invention also concerns a system comprising such device or a plurality of devices, and a method for automatic detection of cage condition and presence. The device, the system and the method according to the present invention allow to detect the presence and several parameters of the cage environment without interfering with the inside of the cage. | 08-21-2014 |
20130084788 | LAMINAR AIR FLOW CAGE CHANGING CABIN MADE OF PLASTIC MATERIAL - The present invention relates to a cage changing cabin ( | 04-04-2013 |
20120234255 | ANIMAL CAGE WITH MEANS FOR AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF CAGE CONDITION - A method and apparatus that detects a condition of a cage for housing laboratory animals includes providing an animal cage including a base part and a top and cage means for automatically detecting at leats one of at least one bedding condition corresponding to a humidity level or an occurring flooding condition. At least one of the resistance or the impedance of material between said pair of electrodes is determined using one of direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC). At least one of the bedding condition or the flooding condition is measured based on a rate of oen or more changes of one of a resistance or an impedance of said material between said electrodes. | 09-20-2012 |
20110005465 | VENTILATED SHELVING STORAGE SYSTEM, PARTICULARLY FOR HOUSING LABORATORY ANIMALS, COMPLETE WITH AN ANTIPARTICULATE FILTER - The present invention relates to a ventilated shelving storage system for housing laboratory animals. The ventilated shelving storage system according to the present invention is of the type suitable for being connected to the centralised air circulation system of a building, or of the room where the shelving storage system is located, while at the same time each shelving storage unit is designed to have its own filter unit comprising at least one antiparticulate filter. Another object of the present invention is a system of shelving storage units in series suitable for being connected to a centralised air circulation system and comprising an antiparticulate filter unit. | 01-13-2011 |
20100313813 | AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLED DISTRIBUTION OF SUBSTANCES TO ANIMAL CONTAINMENT DEVICES IN AN ANIMAL HOUSING FACILITY - The present invention relates to an automated system for the distribution of substances to animal containment devices in an animal housing facility. The present invention also relates to a dosing device of substances, such as solid or liquid feed, which is part of said system, and to the method for dispensing feed implemented by said system. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a method for automated dispensing of substances to animal containment devices in an animal housing facility. | 12-16-2010 |
20100111657 | DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING AND MOVING SHELVES FOR CAGES FOR LABORATORY ANIMALS - A device for lifting and moving shelves, in particular shelves for cages for laboratory animals, said device comprising: means for lifting at least one shelf, and for keeping it lifted from the ground; moving means to allow displacement of the device in the presence of a shelf lifted from the ground, along at least one direction. Structure comprising several devices as described above, engaged with a driving system to allow translation along a common direction. | 05-06-2010 |
20100031894 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CHANGING LABORATORY ANIMAL CAGES OR OTHER OPERATIONS - An apparatus and method for changing laboratory animal cages wherein the apparatus includes at least one seat, preferably at least two seats, each of which receives a cage having a lid. The seat is provided with means for picking and lifting the lid. | 02-11-2010 |
20090165729 | KEEPING CAGE FOR LABORATORY ANIMALS - A keeping cage for laboratory animals, specifically rodents, is characterized in that it provides for a large floor surface on several levels, the transit of animals from one level to the higher or lower level being ensured by the presence of appropriate openings in the partitioning floors. The keeping cage allows for the provision of a space available to animals, which is sufficiently large in terms of floor surface and in terms of height between the floors to ensure a good level of wellbeing for the animals, which do not therefore suffer from behavioral disturbances. Cage for keeping laboratory animals, specifically adapted to keep laboratory animals, particularly rodents, including a base body to which an openable lid is connected, characterized in that the lid features a port for accessing the inside without removing the lid. | 07-02-2009 |
