NIMBLE: Networked Identification and Management of Bovine on Large Expanses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Herd management on large cattle ranches is a difficult task. Most functions on cattle ranches are done manually. As such, ranches stand to gain significant benefits with the aid of technology. In this paper, we present the design of NIMBLE, Networked Identification and Management of Bovine on Large Expanses. NIMBLE is an RFID based application that automates many functions that cattle ranchers must perform. NIMBLE aids ranchers with cattle identification and management tasks. The application offers several novel services including cattle location tracking, event notifications, and data access in the pasture. NIMBLE addresses the unique constraints of ranches that cover thousands of acres and manage thousands of cattle.

Bovine Leukaemia Virus onco-protein Tax antigen identification in human lymphomas tissue
Background: Bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) is the primary cause of enzootic bovine leukaemia which belongs to the HTLV/BLV group of oncogenic retroviruses including Human T-cell leukaemia virus types 1, 2, and 3 and simian T-lymphotropic virus. Due to daily consumption of milk, meat and other dairy by-products, a possible role in appearing human cancers can be assumed for BLV. Materials and Metho...
متن کاملDetection and Identification of Enzootic Bovine Leukosis (EBL) in Calves in Iran
Enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) is known as bovine lymphosarcoma and normally affects the old cattle. EBL is caused by bovine leukemia virus (BLV), which is generally spread all around the world. This virus is transmitted via bovine blood products within and between cattle herds. Glycoprotein GP51 in the blood is responsible for cattle immune responses to BLV. This virus has been previously dete...
متن کاملTime Delay and Data Dropout Compensation in Networked Control Systems Using Extended Kalman Filter
In networked control systems, time delay and data dropout can degrade the performance of the control system and even destabilize the system. In the present paper, the Extended Kalman filter is employed to compensate the effects of time delay and data dropout in feedforward and feedback paths of networked control systems. In the proposed method, the extended Kalman filter is used as an observer ...
متن کاملDesign of Observer-based H∞ Controller for Robust Stabilization of Networked Systems Using Switched Lyapunov Functions
In this paper, H∞ controller is synthesized for networked systems subject to random transmission delays with known upper bound and different occurrence probabilities in the both of feedback (sensor to controller) and forward (controller to actuator) channels. A remote observer is employed to improve the performance of the system by computing non-delayed estimates of the sates. The closed-loop s...
متن کاملMarkovian Delay Prediction-Based Control of Networked Systems
A new Markov-based method for real time prediction of network transmission time delays is introduced. The method considers a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural model for the transmission network, where the number of neurons in the input layer is minimized so that the required calculations are reduced and the method can be implemented in the real-time. For this purpose, the Markov process order...
