A sensor dispensing instrument adapted to handle a sensor pack containing a plurality of sensors and to perform a test using one of the sensors. The sensor dispensing instrument includes an outer housing and a mechanical mechanism contained therein for rotating the sensor pack and ejecting one of the sensors from the sensor pack and through a sensor slot on the housing. The mechanical mechanism of the sensor dispensing instrument is operated by first moving a disk drive pusher in a first direction to rotate the sensor pack, and then moving the disk drive pusher in a second direction to eject a sensor from the sensor cavity and through the sensor slot.

An actuator module which includes a Hall sensor, configured to generate output signals indicating a displacement of a mobile component by a Lorentz actuator mechanism, can be calibrated to remove corruption of the output signals due to magnetic fields generated by a coil assembly of the actuator mechanism. Such calibration can include tracking and manipulating one or more of current strength, output signal voltage strength, and mobile component displacement to establish a relationship between output signal voltage and current applied to the coil assembly. The relationship can be used to generate, for a given generated output signal voltage and applied current strength, an offset signal voltage which can be subtracted from the voltage strength of the output signal to determine a corrected output signal, independent of coil assembly corruption, which indicates a displacement of the mobile component.

The invention relates to a microbiological composite bacterial inoculum and a preparation method thereof, in particular to the microbiological composite bacterial inoculum used for preparing a biological bacterial fertilizer. The microbiological composite bacterial inoculum is prepared by culturing Rhodop seudanonas palustris, Candida utilis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bacillus subtilis and Streptomyces microflavus var. lactosus which are disclosed in a culture catalogue of the China Center for General Microbiology Culture Collection (CGMCC), wherein the serial number of the Rhodop seudanonaspalustris is 1.2352; the serial number of the Candida utilis is 2.1180; the serial number of the Lactobacillus acidophilus is 1.1854; the serial number of the Bacillus subtilis is 1.1630; the serial number of the Streptomyces microflavus var. lactosus is 4.0891; and the weight ratio of the Rhodop seudanonas palustris to the Candida utilis to the Lactobacillus acidophilus to the Bacillus subtilis is 1:0.5:0.5:0.1. When used for preparing the biological bacterial fertilizer, the composite bacterial inoculum can effectively decompose and release crude fibers and other nutrient components in straws and livestock manure; and the prepared biological organic fertilizer can condition the soil, increase the activity rate of microorganisms in the soil, avoid soil hardening, improve the permeabilityof the soil, play a role in production increasing, and effectively solve the problem of the area source pollution of agricultural wastes in rural areas.

An air mass flowmeter having a sensor element of microelectromechanical design, a heating element, and a temperature sensor element. The temperature sensor element is a thermocouple assembly having a multiplicity of thermocouples connected in series. Each thermocouple is a first metal conductor and a second, different metal conductor connected to one another at one end by a connection point. To reduce the distortion of measurement results by the soiling of the sensor element, the first thermocouple(s) and the last thermocouple(s) of the thermocouple assembly are polarized such that an electrical current flows first through the second metal conductor and then through the first metal conductor in each case. The remaining thermocouples of the thermocouple assembly are polarized such that the electrical current flows first through the first metal conductor and then through the second metal conductor.

Disclosed is a method, composition and kit for preventing spoilage of feed in a bird feeder by use of a spoilage reducing composition that comprises an effective amount of a moisture absorbing material, an optional support material, and an optional functional additive that are formed into a shaped body that is combined with an bird feeder, bird feed and / or bird seed to effectively absorb water and water vapor thereby reducing spoilage of feed.
