Filed:

Jan 8, 2008

Appl. No.:

11/971088

Inventors:

Laird W. Laurence - Fredericksburg TX, US
Jack C. Laurence - San Antonio TX, US
James Derwin King - San Antonio TX, US
Michael R. Williams - Fredericksburg TX, US
James C. Lyman - Pipe Creek TX, US

Assignee:

Vital Accuracy Partners - Fredericksburg TX

International Classification:

A61B 5/01

US Classification:

600549

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for measuring the core temperature of an animal or human. Thermal black body emissions from the eyeball are detected, at one or more wavelengths selected on the basis of various factors, including the ability of that wavelength to reach the interior of the eyeball. An illumination marker shines a spot of light on the eyeball, such that the spot corresponds to the area from which emissions are being detected.

US Classification:

600549, 119 5102, 119840, 119843, 3405733

Abstract:

A system and method for managing a herd of animals possibly requiring medical treatment, such as cows in a feedlot. The animals are herded individually into a chute, where identification data is collected from a tag, and core temperature data is collected using a special non-contacting core temperature sensor. The animal is tagged with a color coded tag representing a range of temperatures into which that animal's temperature falls. The animal is then delivered to a pen corresponding to that range of temperatures, where appropriate medicinal treatment is automatically dosed and applied to the animal.
